Getting Information about the Sqoop Command¶

--cassandra-column-family <cf>
  Sets the target Cassandra column family for the import

--cassandra-create-schema
  If specified, Cassandra keyspace and column family are created.
  The column family must not exist if this flag is specified.

--cassandra-keyspace <keyspace>
  Import to <keyspace> in Cassandra

--cassandra-partitioner <partitioner>
  The partitioner class to use for writing to the Column Family.
  The default is RandomPartitioner.

--cassandra-password <passwd>
  Cassandra user password, if necessary

--cassandra-replication-factor <repFactor>
  The replication factor to use for the Keyspace.
  Requirements:

  1) use --cassandra-create-schema

  2) the keyspace does not already exist. Implies a Simple
  replication strategy. Defaults to 1 if neither
  cassandra-rep-factor nor cassandra-strategy-options are
  specified.

--cassandra-row-key <keyCol>
  Specifies which input column to use as the row key

--cassandra-strategy-options <stratOptions>
  Strategy options apply to the keyspace if cassandra-create-
  schema is specified and the keyspace does not already exist.
  Implies a Network topology replication strategy. This option
  and cassandra-rep-factor are mutually exclusive.
