Apache Sqoop allows users to transfer bulk data between Hadoop and structured data stores like relational databases. It can generate Java code for tables and import data into Hadoop formats including Avro, Parquet, and SequenceFiles or into Hive tables for analysis. However, Avro cannot store binary fields like VARBINARY.
