We are exploring Apache NiFi as a general purpose data ingestion tool for our enterprise requirements.
One typical data ingestion requirement is moving data from RDBMS systems to HDFS.
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.
But, I couldn't test the flow for bigger tables as I was using a standalone distribution.
Has anyone done a performance comparison of NiFi with SQOOP for similar requirements ?
