New in this Release

Sqoop2 addresses security concerns by introducing Admin and Operator roles. In Sqoop2, create access for Connections is restricted to Admins and execute access is limited to Operators.

Here are some other differences between Sqoop and Sqoop2:

  • Connectors are no longer restricted to the JDBC model - they can define their own vocabulary
  • Sqoop2 offers a REST API for operation and management, which integrates better with external systems such as Oozie
  • Sqoop2 works with Hue, an interactive web-based UI
  • Sqoop2 is installed and configured server-side, while Sqoop is installed and configured client-side.

For a comprehensive list of differences between Sqoop and Sqoop2, see MapR's Sqoop2 documentation.
