Importing Data to HDFS Using sqoop-shell

Scenario

Taking Importing Data from Oracle to HBase as an example, this section introduces how to use the sqoop-shell tool to create and start Loader jobs in the interaction mode and batch mode.

Prerequisites

The Loader client has been installed and configured. For details, see Running a Loader Job by Using Commands.

Example for the Interaction Mode

  1. Log in to the node where the Loader client is installed as the user who installs the client.
  2. Run the following command to go to the conf directory of the sqoop-shell tool. For example, if the Loader client installation directory is /opt/client/Loader/, run the following command:

    cd /opt/client/Loader/loader-tools-1.99.3/sqoop-shell/conf

  3. Run the following command to configure authentication information:

    vi client.properties

    server.url=10.0.0.1:21351
    # simple or kerberos 
    authentication.type=simple 
    # true or false 
    use.keytab=true 
    
    authentication.user= 
    authentication.password= 
    
    client.principal=oracle/hadoop@<system domain name>
    
    # keytab file 
    client.keytab.file=./conf/login/oracle.keytab

    Log in to FusionInsight Manager and choose System > Permission > Domain and Mutual Trust. The value of Local Domain is the current system domain name.

    Table 1 Configuration parameters

    Configuration parameters

    Description

    Example Value

    server.url

    Floating IP address and port (21351) for Loader.

    For compatibility, multiple IP addresses and ports can be configured and need to be separated by commas (,). The first IP address and port must be those of Loader (21351). The others can be configured based on service requirements.

    10.0.0.1:21351

    authentication.type

    Login authentication mode.

    • kerberos indicates that the security mode is used and Kerberos authentication is performed. Kerberos authentication provides two authentication modes: the password mode and the keytab file mode.
    • simple indicates that the normal mode is used and Kerberos authentication is not performed.

    kerberos

    authentication.user

    User for login when the normal mode or password authentication is used.

    In the keytab login mode, this parameter does not need to be set.

    bar

    authentication.password

    User password for login when the password authentication mode is used.

    In the normal mode or keytab login mode, this parameter does not need to be set.

    The password needs to be encrypted. The encryption method is described as follows:

    1. Go to the directory where encrypt_tool is located. For example, if the Loader client installation directory is /opt/hadoopclient/Loader, run the following command:

      cd /opt/hadoopclient/Loader/loader-tools-1.99.3

    2. Run the following command to encrypt the non-encrypted password. Commands containing authentication passwords pose security risks. Disable the command recording function (history) before running such commands to prevent information leakage.

      ./encrypt_tool Unencrypted password

      The obtained encrypted password is used as the value of authentication.password.

      NOTE:

      If a non-encrypted password contains special characters, the special characters must be escaped. For example, the dollar sign ($) is a special character and can be escaped using single quotation marks ('). If a non-encrypted password contains single quotation marks, use double quotation marks to escape the single quotation marks. If a non-encrypted password contains double quotation marks, use backslashes (\) to escape the double quotation marks. For details, see the shell escape character rules.

    -

    use.keytab

    Whether to use the keytab mode to log in.

    • true indicates using the keytab file to log in.
    • false indicates using the password to log in.

    true

    client.principal

    User principal for accessing the Loader service when the keytab authentication mode is used.

    In the normal mode or password login mode, this parameter does not need to be set.

    loader/hadoop

    client.keytab.file

    Directory where the used keytab file is located when the keytab authentication mode is used.

    In the normal mode or password login mode, this parameter does not need to be set.

    /opt/client/conf/loader.keytab

  4. Run the following command to go to the interaction mode:

    source /opt/client/bigdata_env

    cd /opt/client/Loader/loader-tools-1.99.3/sqoop-shell

    ./sqoop2-shell

    The preceding commands obtain authentication information by reading the configuration file.

    Alternatively, you can also use the password or Kerberos authentication.

    Run the following command to authenticate login using the password mode:

    ./sqoop2-shell -uk false -u username -p encryptedPassword

    Commands containing authentication passwords pose security risks. Disable the command recording function (history) before running such commands to prevent information leakage.

    Run the following command to authenticate login using the Kerberos mode:

    ./sqoop2-shell -uk true -k user.keytab -s userPrincipal

    Welcome to sqoop client
    Use the username and password authentication mode
    Authentication success.
    Sqoop Shell: Type 'help' or '\h' for help.
    
    sqoop:000> 

  1. Run the following command to view the corresponding ID of the current connector:

    show connector

    The following information is displayed:

    | Id |            Name            |    Version     |                                Class                                 |

  6. In the batch mode, the -c parameter can be used to attach a command. sqoop-shell can execute only the attached command at a time.

    Run the following command to create a connection:

    ./sqoop2-shell -c "create connection -c 4 -name oracle-connection --connector-connection-oracleServerIp 10.0.0.1 --connector-connection-oracleServerPort 22 --connector-connection-oracleUser root --connector-connection-oraclePassword xxxxx"

    You can also use the password mode or Kerberos mode to attach the authentication information to the command.

    Run the following command to authenticate login using the password mode:

    ./sqoop2-shell -uk false -u username -p encryptedPassword -c "create connection -c 4 -name oracle-connection --connector-connection-oracleerverIp 10.0.0.1 --connector-connection-oracleServerPort 22 --connector-connection-oracleUser root --connector-connection-oraclePassword xxxxx"

    Run the following command to authenticate login using the Kerberos mode:

    ./sqoop2-shell -uk true -k user.keytab -s userPrincipal -c "create connection -c 4 -name oracle-connection --connector-connection-oracleServerIp 10.0.0.1 --connector-connection-oracleServerPort 22 --connector-connection-oracleUser root --connector-connection-oraclePassword xxxxx"

    Displaying the FINE information indicates the connection is created successfully.
