An open-source data integration programme called Apache Sqoop

is intended to make it easier to move data between Apache Hadoop


and conventional relational databases or other structured data
repositories. The difficulty of effectively integrating data from
external systems into Hadoop’s distributed file system (HDFS) and
exporting processed or analysed data back to relational databases
for use in business intelligence or reporting tools is addressed.

Data import from several relational databases, including MySQL,


Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL, into HDFS is one of Sqoop’s
core functionalities. It enables incremental imports, allowing users
to import just the new or changed records since the last import,
minimising data transfer time and guaranteeing data consistency.
Parallel imports are supported, enabling the efficient transfer of big
datasets.

When it comes to exporting, Sqoop makes it possible to send


processed or analysed data from HDFS back to relational
databases, guaranteeing that the knowledge obtained from big data
analysis can be incorporated into current data warehousing
systems without any difficulty.

Additionally, Sqoop is essential for connecting with other Hadoop


ecosystem parts, such as Apache Hive for data warehousing. Since
Sqoop is versatile for usage in scripts and automated processes
thanks to its command-line interface (CLI) and APIs, developers
may successfully integrate it into their data pipelines. Sqoop is a
flexible and useful solution for large data integration projects
because of its extensible design, which allows for new connections
to enable additional data sources beyond those supported by its
built-in connectors

Basically, Sqoop (“SQL-to-Hadoop”) is a straightforward command-


line tool. It offers the following capabilities:
1. Generally, helps to Import individual tables or entire databases
to files in HDFS
2. Also can Generate Java classes to allow you to interact with your
imported data
3. Moreover, it offers the ability to import from SQL databases
straight into your Hive data warehouse.
