About this task

After an upgrade from Sqoop 1.4.6 to 1.4.7, configuration files are saved and overwritten by new configuration files. After an update from Sqoop 1.4.7 to a newer package of 1.4.7, configuration files are saved (but not overwritten). The following example shows a listing of the configuration files that are saved after an update from Sqoop 1.4.7 (EEP 7.0.0) to newer package of Sqoop 1.4.7 (EEP 7.0.1):
