Overview of the Copy Data Directives

The Copy Data to Hadoop and Copy Data from Hadoop directives enable you to move data from your database management systems into and out of the Hadoop database.
The Copy Data to Hadoop and Copy Data from Hadoop directives use JDBC drivers to connect from your client machine to databases. The JDBC drivers on your client machine must be the same as those that are already on the Hadoop cluster. See Install JDBC Drivers and Add Database Connectionsfor more information.
