Hi Priyadarshini,
you're right - Sqoop 1 metastore is not pluggable piece and it can be used only with hsqldb.

We've changed this in Sqoop 2 where the repository is fully pluggable.

Hi,

I wanted to use postgresql as backend for Sqoop Metastore instead of
hsqldb. But it looks like currently the metastore feature is not pluggable
- as in there is no freedom to choose a backend. The way you have it for
 Hive metastore.

Is my analysis correct, or is there a way to do this? If not, how can I get
in included in Sqoop?
Thanks,
