Community Tutorial 04: Import from Microsoft SQL Server into the Hortonworks Sandbox using Sqoop
From the webpage:
For a simple proof of concept I wanted to get data from MS SQL Server into the Hortonworks Sandbox in an automated fasion using Sqoop. Apache Sqoop provides a way of efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and relational databases. This tutorial will show you how to use Sqoop to import data into the Hortonworks Sandbox from a Microsoft SQL Server data source.
You’ll have to test this one without me.
I have thought about setting up a MS SQL Server but never got around to it. 😉
