Configuring Sqoop for HDFS Encryption

Reference information on configuring HBase for Sqoop encryption.

Following are considerations for using Sqoop to import or export HDFS-encrypted data.

Recommendations

  • For Hive:

    Make sure that you are using Sqoop with the --target-dir parameter set to a directory that is inside the Hive encryption zone. Specify the -D option after sqoop import.

    For example:
    sqoop import \ 
     -D sqoop.test.import.rootDir=<root-directory> \ 
     --target-dir <directory-inside-encryption-zone> \ 
     <additional-arguments> 
  • For append or incremental import:

    Make sure that the sqoop.test.import.rootDir property points to the encryption zone specified in the --target-dir argument.

  • For HCatalog:

    No special configuration is required.
