What is Hadoop Sqoop?
Hadoop sqoop is an open source and sub project of Hadoop. Hadoop sqoop is a tool that designed for efficiently transfer the huge amount of data between Apache hadoop and structure databases such as relational database management systems (RDBMS) like Sql, oracle, MySQL databases.
In other words, Hadoop sqoop is used for import and export the huge amount of data from RDBMS to HDFS and HDFS to RDBMS
RDBMS such as MySQL, oracle, sql
HDFS such as Hive, Hbase
Hadoop sqoop word came from?
Why is Sqoop is used?

How Sqoop can be used in a Java program?
The Sqoop jar in classpath should be included in the java code. After this the method Sqoop.runTool () method must be invoked. The necessary parameters should be created to Sqoop programmatically just like for command line.
What is the process to perform an incremental data load in Sqoop?
The process to perform incremental data load in Sqoop is to synchronize the modified or updated data (often referred as delta data) from RDBMS to Hadoop. The delta data can be facilitated through the incremental load command in Sqoop.
Incremental load can be performed by using Sqoop import command or by loading the data into hive without overwriting it. The different attributes that need to be specified during incremental load in Sqoop are-
Mode (incremental) –The mode defines how Sqoop will determine what the new rows are. The mode can have value as Append or Last Modified.
Col (Check-column) –This attribute specifies the column that should be examined to find out the rows to be imported.
Value (last-value) –This denotes the maximum value of the check column from the previous import operation.
