Apache Sqoop Connectors
Sqoop uses a connector-based architecture which supports plugins that provide connectivity to external systems. Using specialized connectors, Sqoop can connect with external systems that have optimized import and export facilities, or do not support native JDBC. Connectors are plugin components based on Sqoop’s extension framework and can be added to any existing Sqoop installation.
