    Both Flume and Sqoop are meant for data movement, then what is the difference between them? Under what condition should I use Flume or Sqoop?

    Flume: A very common use case is collecting log data from one system- a bank of web servers(aggregating it in HDFS for later analysis).
    Sqoop: On the other hand is designed for performing bulk imports of data into HDFS from structured data stores. simple use case will be an organization that runs a nightly sqoop import to load the day's data from a production DB into a Hive data ware house for analysis.

    The major difference between Sqoop and Flume is that Sqoop is used for loading data from relational databases into HDFS while Flume is used to capture a stream of moving data.

    Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data.

    Flume helps to collect data from a variety of sources, like logs, jms, Directory etc.
    Multiple flume agents can be configured to collect high volume of data.
    It scales horizontally.

    From http://sqoop.apache.org/

    Apache Sqoop(TM) is a tool designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases.

    Sqoop helps to move data between hadoop and other databases and it can transfer data in parallel for performance.
