Up till now, we all have been using and have been dependent on RDBMS’s for our database needs. In an age where the word is advancing rapidly in the age of Big Data, it’s essential to capture data from multiple sources. Apache Sqoop is such a platform that offers great help in such uphill & time-consuming tasks involving data transfer from RDBMS’s to Hadoop ecosystem.
This Book covers topics like importing/exporting data from RDBMS to Hadoop ecosystem & vice-versa along with different RDBMS’s Sqoop connectors, in short, is a real-quick, to the point guide for getting started with Apache Sqoop, a clear justification to the book’s name “Instant Apache Sqoop”.
The Book is an excellent guide for beginners, as it covers different use-cases with utilitarian examples along with comprehensive detailed explanations for each step in the process. A must read for all those who want to learn Apache Sqoop.

1. Import RDBMS data into Hadoop, HBase, Hive.
2. Export Hadoop, Hive data back to RDBMS.
3. Incremental import.
4. Hbase/Hive basic commands.
5. Sqoop Connectors.
