Sqoop Import – Data File is imported in some binary Format

Replies: 2

Hi,

While importing data from MySQL to HDFS, we are seeing data in some binary format in HDFS.

Below is the format in which data is seen:
0000000: 78 9c bc bd 7d 6f e3 48 92 3e f8 f7 dd a7 20 fa x…}o.H.>…. .
0000010: 80 da ea 5b ca 66 66 f2 75 71 38 80 a2 28 9b 5d …[.ff.uq8..(.]
0000020: 7a 2b 52 b2 ab fa 9f 81 a7 4a dd e3 1d b7 5d b0 z+R……J….].
0000030: ab 66 ba 7f 87 fb ee 17 91 49 32 23 c5 24 45 c9 .f…….I2#.$E.

Sqoop import command used:
sqoop import –connect jdbc:mysql://myserver.com/test –username user1 –password hdp123 –table table1 –target-dir /user/test6/ –as-textfile

Sqoop Version: 1.4.4
HDP: 2.0

Can you please help us how to get the data from MYSQL in readable text format.

Thank You.
