Sqoop is great for sending data between a JDBC compliant database and a Hadoop environment. Sqoop is built for those who need a few simple CLI options to import a selection of database tables into Hadoop, do large dataset analysis that could not commonly be done with that database system due to resource constraints, then export the results back into that database (or another). Sqoop falls short when there needs to be some extra, customized processing between database extract, and Hadoop loading, in which case Apache Spark's JDBC utilities might be preferred Incentivized
Well suited for my big data related project or a static data set analysis especially for uploading huge dataset to the cluster.But had some issues with connecting IoT real-time data and feeding to Power BI. It might be my understanding please take it as a mere comment rather than a suggestion.Incentivized
Provides generalized JDBC extensions to migrate data between most database systemsGenerates Java classes upon reading database records for use in other code utilizing Hadoop's client librariesAllows for both import and export featuresIncentivized
Jobs with Spark, Hadoop, or Hive queries are rapidly attainedCan collect, organize and analyze your data accuratelyYou can customize, for example, Spark or Hadoop configuration settings, or Python, R, Scala, or Java libraries.Incentivized
Sqoop2 development seems to have stalled. I have set it up outside of a Cloudera CDH installation, and I actually prefer it's "Sqoop Server" model better than just the CLI client version that is Sqoop1. This works especially well in a microservices environment, where there would be only one place to maintain the JDBC drivers to use for Sqoop.Incentivized
Easier pricing and plug-and-play like you see with AWS and Azure, it would be nice from a budgeting and billing standpoint, as well as better support for the administration.Bundling of the Cloud Object Storage should be included with the Analytics Engine.The inability to add your own Hadoop stack components has made some transfers a little more complex.Incentivized
Sqoop comes preinstalled on the major Hadoop vendor distributions as the recommended product to import data from relational databases. The ability to extend it with additional JDBC drivers makes it very flexible for the environment it is installed within.Spark also has a useful JDBC reader, and can manipulate data in more ways than Sqoop, and also upload to many other systems than just Hadoop.Kafka Connect JDBC is more for streaming database updates using tools such as Oracle GoldenGate or Debezium.Streamsets and Apache NiFi both provide a more "flow based programming" approach to graphically laying out connectors between various systems, including JDBC and Hadoop.Incentivized
We initially wanted to go with Google BigQuery, mainly for the name recognition. However, the pricing and support structure led us to seek alternatives, which pointed us to IBM. Apache Spark was also in the running, but here IBM's domination in the industry made the choice a no-brainer. As previously stated, the support received was not quite what we expected, but was adequate.Incentivized
When combined with Cloudera's HUE, it can enable non-technical users to easily import relational data into Hadoop.Being able to manipulate large datasets in Hadoop, and them load them into a type of "materialized view" in an external database system has yielded great insights into the Hadoop datalake without continuously running large batch jobs.Sqoop isn't very user-friendly for those uncomfortable with a CLI.Incentivized
This product has allowed us to gather analytics data across multiple platforms so we can view and analyze the data from different workflows, all in one place.IBM Analytics has allowed us to scale on demand which allows us to capture more and more data, thus increasing our ROI.The convenience of the ability to access and administer the product via multiple interfaces has allowed our administrators to ensure that the application is making a positive ROI for our business users and partners.Incentivized
