Sqoop2 Server

Sqoop CLI limitations

• User running Scoop CLI , requires connectors installed in the same machine
• User need to know credentials ( admin may not want to share with all )
• Scoop jobs are stored locally , and cannot be shared with other team members
• People can unknowingly create load on RDBMS

Hence a new version is  under development ... called sqoop2 server.

• sqoop2-sheel only submits jobs to sqoop2 server
• sqoop2 server does all the work
• communication to sqoop2 is via json + rest
• client doesnt need to access hadoop or rdbms ( only server does )
