title: Apache NiFi For Importing Data From RDMBS to HDFS - Performance Comparison with SQOOP
body: <p>We are exploring Apache NiFi as a general purpose data ingestion tool for our enterprise requirements. </p>
  
  <p>One typical data ingestion requirement is moving data from RDBMS
  systems to HDFS. </p>
  
  <p>I was able to build RDBMS to HDFS data movement flow in NiFi using GenerateTableFetch and ExecuteSQL Processors provided by NiFi and everything worked fine for smaller tables. </p>

  <p>But, I couldn't test the flow for bigger tables as I was using a standalone distribution. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone done a performance comparison of NiFi with SQOOP for similar requirements ?</p>
