How to give custom name to Sqoop output files
You can't do it with sqoop directly, but you can rename them in HDFS after sqoop is done importing:
today=`date +%Y-%m-%d`files=$(hadoop fs -ls /path-to-files | awk '{print $8}')for f in $files; do hadoop fs -mv $f $f$today; doneThe first command gets today's date. The second command gets all the filenames within your directory. The third command renames those files, appending the date.
