When to use Sqoop 1 and Sqoop 2

At the time of writing this book Sqoop 2 is still not fully complete in all aspects and not fully in a stable state. That's the core reason for us to choose Sqoop 1 for implementing the chosen use case for this book. However, clearly Sqoop 2 brings in good advantages (detailed in subsections above) as against Sqoop 1 and when fully ready should be used or favored in place of Sqoop 1.
