I imported a table from sql using sqoop import using the command sqoop import.

I imported a table from sql using sqoop import using the command sqoop import.
On doing a select count(*) from Hive, I’m getting the row count as

231743

But the actual SQL table has 231742 rows.

Why am I getting one row extra for this table?

I imported 2 other similar tables have large amounts of data and am getting the exact count. But this particular table gives me an extra row in hive. Why is that? 😮

PS: I included –hive-drop-import-delims with the sqoop import command

Thanks in advance 🙂

UPDATE: Seems like I have duplicate entries in the table. It got generated during the import. Anyone has any idea why? 🙂

    Okay.. I’ve solved it.

    In the sqoop import command, instead of using –table table-name, I used –query SELECT * FROM table-name WHERE $CONDITIONS. That fixed it.

    Thanks for your comments.
