Description

I am using sqoop-1.4.2 to export to Sql.

--export-dir does not work when the dir being passed is the root of subdirectories. -export-dir is not doing any recursive lookup for files. It expects directory with files that you want export.
It would be great if one could pass a directory with subdirectories.

Example:

The following command exports the data to Sql

~/sqoop-1.4.2.bin__hadoop-1.0.0/bin/sqoop export --connect jdbc:postgresql://ec2-XX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:XXXX/xxxxxxxxxxxxx --username xxxxxxxxxx --password xxxxxxxxxx --table ml_ys_log_gmt_daily_experiment_2 --export-dir =hdfs:///mnt/var/lib/hadoop/dfs/logs_daily_sanitized/dt=2013-02-01 --input-fields-terminated-by='\t' --lines-terminated-by='\n' --verbose --batch

hadoop@domU-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX:/mnt/var/lib/hadoop/steps/2$ hadoop fs -ls hdfs:///mnt/var/lib/hadoop/dfs/logs_daily_sanitized/dt=2013-02-01

The following command does not export the data to Sql

~/sqoop-1.4.2.bin__hadoop-1.0.0/bin/sqoop export --connect jdbc:postgresql://ec2-XX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:XXXX/xxxxxxxxxxxxx --username xxxxxxxxxx --password xxxxxxxxxx --table ml_ys_log_gmt_daily_experiment_2 --export-dir =hdfs:///mnt/var/lib/hadoop/dfs/logs_daily_sanitized --input-fields-terminated-by='\t' --lines-terminated-by='\n' --verbose --batch
