loader-tool Usage Guide
Overview
loader-tool is a Loader client tool. It consists of three tools: lt-ucc, lt-ucj, lt-ctl.
Loader supports two modes, parameter mode and job template mode. Either mode can be used to create, update, query, and delete connectors, and to create, update, query, delete, start, and stop Loader jobs.
loader-tool implements an asynchronous interface. After a command is submitted, the command output is not returned to the console in real time. Therefore, the results of the creation, update, query, and deletion operations on a connector and the creation, update, query, deletion, start, and stop operations on a Loader job must be confirmed on the Loader WebUI or by querying server logs.
- Parameter mode:
- Job template mode:
Change the values of all parameters in a job template and reference the job template when invoking a script.
After a Loader client is installed, the system automatically generates job templates for various scenarios in the Loader client installation directory/loader-tools-1.99.3/loader-tool/job-config/ directory. The parameters vary according to job templates. Job templates contain information about jobs and associated connectors.
Job templates are XML files. The file name format is original data location-to-new data location.xml, for example, sftp-to-hdfs.xml. If a job supports conversion step, a json conversion step configuration file with the same name exists, for example, sftp-to-hdfs.json.
Job templates contain the configuration information of connectors. During the connector creation and updating, only the connector information in job templates is invoked.
Scenarios
The parameters vary according to connectors or jobs.
- To modify some parameters, use the parameter mode.
- To create a connector or job, use the job template mode.
This tool currently supports the FTP, HDFS, JDBC, MySQL, Oracle, and Oracle dedicated connectors. If other types of connectors are used, you are advised to use the open-source sqoop-shell tool.
Parameters
Assume that the Loader client installation directory is /opt/hadoopclient/Loader/.
- lt-ucc usage description
lt-ucc is a connector configuration tool of loader-tool user-configuration-connection and is used to create, update, and delete connectors.

The password encryption method is described as follows:
sh Loader client installation directory/Loader/loader-tools-1.99.3/encrypt_tool non-encrypted user password
NOTE:If a non-encrypted password contains special characters, the special characters must be escaped. For example, the dollar sign ($) is a special character and can be escaped using single quotation marks ('), for example, '1q2w#e$r'. 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.
