title: Sqoop-export the partitioned Hive table
body: <p>I have a Hive table partitioned by <code>year</code> and <code>week</code> columns. So the contents are stored in multiple recursive directories in Hive warehouse and in my case I have more than 100+ directories(partitions) for this table.</p>
  
  <p>Here I am not sure how to mention the hive table's directory detail to the <code>--export-dir</code> property of the <code>sqoop-export</code> command.</p>
  
  <p>Do I have to individually mention all 100* directory in separate <code>sqoop-export</code> commands?. Is there any way to mention about all the nested directories in a single <code>sqoop-export</code> command?.</p>
  
  <p>Kindly also let me know if there is any other better way to solve this?.</p>
  
  <p><em>[Note: I dont have Hcatalog in my environment, I just want to prefer the 'export to hdfs directory' as my last option ]</em></p>
