title: Sqoop - Is it possible to import flat-files in HDFS
body: <p>I know that it is possible to import RDBM's data to HDFS via sqoop but I would like to know if it is possible to import flat-files as well.</p>
  
  <p>For example, is it possible to import a file from a remote Linux filesystem ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
