Description

Export a set of Parquet files from HDFS to a database table. The table must exist in target database. Sqoop will recognize file format by parsing file header. In other words, no extra argument for command line interface is required.

Example invocation:

sqoop export --connect JDBC_URI --table TABLE --export-dir /path/to/file

Limitations:
1. Like other file formats support, BlobRef is not supported.
2. Files are read via Kite SDK. Currently Kite requires .metadata present.
