This will generate the classes and cease further operation. You can override the +$HADOOP_HOME+ environment variable within Sqoop with the +--hadoop-home+ argument. You can override the +$HIVE_HOME+ environment variable with +--hive-home+. Data emitted to HDFS is by default uncompressed. You can instruct Sqoop to use gzip to compress your data by providing either the +--compress+ or +-z+ argument (both are equivalent).
