How are large objects handled in Sqoop?

Sqoop provides the capability to store large sized data into a single field based on the type of data. Sqoop supports the ability to store-
 

1)CLOB ‘s – Character Large Objects

2)BLOB’s –Binary Large Objects

Large objects in Sqoop are handled by importing the large objects into a file referred as “LobFile” i.e. Large Object File. The LobFile has the ability to store records of huge size, thus each record in the LobFile is a large object.
