Sqoop 2 architecture

The workings of Sqoop 2 are very much in line with Sqoop 1. However, Sqoop 2 brings in more user-friendly and easy-to-use features by taking difficult parts of Sqoop 1 away from the user. It brings in a new web browser based tool along with the client (this is the only option in Sqoop 1) and also helps the user install Sqoop once on a machine, giving provision for the user to access it from multiple places. It also gives a good amount of RESTful API’s (more details can be found in the Apache Sqoop documentation at https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.99.5/RESTAPI.html), which aids in many of the integrations that Sqoop needs to support for effective use in the context of a data lake.
