sqoop free form query import to HBase not working

Question

I've got sqoop table import to HBase working as below:

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://${mysql-server-address}/test -username root -password admin --table Student --hbase-create-table --hbase-table student --column-family i

Next step, I am trying to get free form query working as well, someow, the sqoop command below I tried doesn't work as expected, nothing has been imported from source table to the target HBase table.

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://${mysql-server-address}/test -username root -password admin --query 'SELECT id, name from Student where $CONDITIONS' --split-by Student.id --hbase-create-table --hbase-table student --column-family i

Is there anything I am missing from the 2nd sqoop command? The document is very limited in terms of HBase import.

here is the log from command 2 if it helps:

Answer 1

--split-by Student.id should be --split-by id
