Sqoop: Customize field or column separator while importing

When you import data to HDFS using ‘sqoop import’ command, all the columns data is separated by ‘,’.

 

How to customize the field or column separator?

Using --fields-terminated-by option, we can customized the field separator.

 

Example

sqoop import \
--connect "jdbc:mysql://quickstart.cloudera:3306/retail_db" \
--username "root" \
--password "cloudera" \
--table "customers" \
--target-dir /field_separator_demo \
-m 1 \
--where "customer_id < 10" \
--fields-terminated-by '|'
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import \
> --connect "jdbc:mysql://quickstart.cloudera:3306/retail_db" \
> --username "root" \
> --password "cloudera" \
> --table "customers" \
> --target-dir /field_separator_demo \
> -m 1 \
> --where "customer_id < 10" \
> --fields-terminated-by '|'

 Let’s query the folder ‘/field_separator_demo’ and check whether | is used as field separator or not.
