Install Sqoop and Hbase on macbook pro OS X 10.8.2

Apache Sqoop helps transfer data between hadoop and datastores(such as relational databases like oracle, db2 and a bunch of others). Read more about sqoop here
http://sqoop.apache.org/

If you are just getting started with hadoop you may want to refer to my earlier posts regarding installing hadoop:

and installing hive:

As I mentioned in my previous posts, homebrew provides a simple way to install anything, in this case, sqoop.

Open a terminal and install sqoop with this command:
brew install sqoop

Homebrew takes care of installing all related dependencies for you, which for sqoop are, hbase and zookeeper.



Your terminal output should be similar to this:

$ brew install sqoop
==> Installing sqoop dependency: hbase

You must also edit the configs in:
  /usr/local/Cellar/hbase/0.94.2/libexec/conf
to reflect your environment.

Now you are all set to use sqoop to work with any supported data store.
Have fun.
