title: What does Sqoop 2 provide that Sqoop 1 does not?
body: <p>According to sqoop.apache.org, Sqoop 2 is not feature complete and should not be used for production systems. Fair enough, some people may want to test out Sqoop 2's new features on their test environments.</p>
  
  <p>Cloudera has a feature comparison between Sqoop 1 and Sqoop 2 (<a href="https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-8-x/topics/cdh_ig_sqoop_vs_sqoop2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-8-x/topics/cdh_ig_sqoop_vs_sqoop2.html</a>), but according to the page there is nothing that Sqoop 2 provides that Sqoop 1 does not also provide.</p>
  
  <p>So why would anyone use Sqoop 2 in its current form? Does it provide any advantages over Sqoop 1? If not, why is it available for use? Thanks in advance!</p>
