Sqoop Oracle Import does not create table

Question

I want to import data from an Oracle database to Hive using Sqoop. I want Sqoop to create the table into the destination Hive database.

I put the Oracle JDBC (ojdbc6.jar) into the Sqoop lib directory.

I try those 2 methods but none of them work.

sqoop import \
    --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}:${DB_NAME} \
    --username ${DB_USER} \
    --password ${DB_PWD} \
    --table ${INPUT_TABLE} \
    --hcatalog-home /usr/hdp/current/hive-webhcat \
    --hcatalog-database ${OUTPUT_DB} \
    --hcatalog-table ${OUTPUT_TABLE} \
    --create-hcatalog-table \
    --num-mappers 1


sqoop import  \
    --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}:${DB_NAME} \
    --username ${DB_USER} \
    --password ${DB_PWD} \
    --hive-home /usr/hdp/current/hive \
    --hive-import \
    --create-hive-table \
    --hive-table "${OUTPUT_DB}.${OUTPUT_TABLE}" \
    --table ${INPUT_TABLE}

I have this error message:

ERROR tool.ImportTool: Imported Failed: There is no column found in the target table input_table. Please ensure that your table name is correct.

It seems Sqoop doesn't take into account the --create-hcatalog-table or --create-hive-table

However, when I import data from PostgreSQL with Sqoop, the table creation works well. Any ideas? Thanks

For information, Sqoop read well the Oracle table. I ran this command and got the good result:

sqoop eval \
    --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}:${DB_NAME} \
    --username ${DB_USER} \
    --password ${DB_PWD} \
    --query "select count(1) from input_table"

--hive-import will automatically create table in hive mentioned in --hive-table tag. Put -verbose in the end of your import query (to get extended logs) and share complete logs — Dev
error in log says target table input_table but you have quoted output_table: make sure ${OUTPUT_TABLE} and ${INPUT_TABLE} values are correct. are all columns int type? - try to run without variables (using actual values) first. — Ronak Patel
I corrected the typo, The error is "target table input"_table. I tried without variable, the result is the same. I still have the same error. The columns are not all int (int, varchar and date) — Mouette

I found a solution, it seems that the --table parameter didn't work well for me, so I used to --query parameter instead.

    sqoop import \
        --connect ${DB_CNX_STR} \
        --username ${DB_USER} \
        --password ${DB_PWD} \
        --query "SELECT * FROM ${INPUT_TABLE} WHERE \$CONDITIONS" \
        --target-dir ${TARGET_DIR}/${INPUT_TABLE} \
        --hive-import \
        --hive-home "/usr/hdp/current/hive" \
        --create-hive-table \
        --hive-table "${OUTPUT_DB}.${OUTPUT_TABLE}" \
        --num-mappers 1
