Apache Sqoop (incubating) was created to efficiently transfer bulk data between Hadoop and external structured datastores, such as RDBMS and data warehouses, because databases are not easily accessible by Hadoop. Sqoop is currently undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation. More information on this project can be found at http://incubator.apache.org/sqoop.
The popularity of Sqoop in enterprise systems confirms that Sqoop does bulk transfer admirably.
