Error while trying to use --boundary-query argument in sqoop import












0














I am learning sqoop on my own and tried to run the below mentioned code to retrieve the first 3000 records from the database and evenly split by primary key emp_no



 sqoop import 

--connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/employees

--username root

-P

--query 'select * from employees WHERE $CONDITIONS ORDER BY emp_no LIMIT 3000'

--split-by emp_no

-m 3

--target-dir sqoop/import_data/employee_db_import

--delete-target-dir


The above statements yielded evenly distributed results 1000 records per mapper.



Now for further learning I added the --boundary-query argument as



 --boundary-query 'select MIN(emp_no),MAX(emp_no) from employees' 


to the above statement and the map reduce job is now reading 9000 records from the database. I want to know why is this happening ?
