Difference between Temporary rootdir and bindir in sqoop job

I am not able to get the difference between Temporary rootdir and bindir in sqoop job.

can anyone explain this, it would be great

Solution

  • They are both "working" directories, one has code generated objects, the other has temporary files from HDFS work

    --bindir <dir> Output directory for compiled objects

    --temporary-rootdir <dir> HDFS directory for temporary files created during import (overrides default "_sqoop")
