Sqoop Use HBase table instead of HDFS

Question

Hi, I am using sqoop to import data into a table in HBase but by default the data are getting imported into HDFS. How can I override this default and store the data in HBase?

Answer 1

To override the default and import data into HBase table, you can specify the HBase table name with respective switch. Refer to the command below:

$ sqoop import <all parameters you are using> --hbase-table <table name>

By this, the data will be imported into the specified table in HBase.
