Hi, I do have some trouble setting up Sqoop. I downloaded the latest version of Sqoop from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/sqoop/ . I figured out, that I don't have to build sqoop using ant, because the binaries and the jar's are already in the tar.
I have set the environment variables: HADOOP_HOME HIVE_HOME SQOOP_HOME and have their bin subfolders added to the PATH variable. Running 'sqoop' or 'sqoop version' leads to the following error: hadoop@dev1:/usr/local/sqoop> sqoop Warning: /usr/lib/hbase does not exist! HBase imports will fail. Please set $HBASE_HOME to the root of your HBase installation. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ cloudera/sqoop/Sqoop Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.cloudera.sqoop.Sqoop at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320) Could not find the main class: com.cloudera.sqoop.Sqoop. Program will exit. That's why I tried to add the missing jars in the HADOOP_CLASSPATH in sqoop/bin/configure-sqoop. I added the following line at the end of the file: export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH:/usr/local/sqoop/ sqoop-1.4.0-incubating.jar So that the com/cloudera/sqoop/Sqoop class was found. But unfortunately this does not solve the problem. Now I do get the following error when executing "sqoop version". (I know this is a very dirty hack, but I really don't know what variable I need to set, so that sqoop finds its own jar-files?! Very frustrating!) hadoop@dev1:/usr/local/sqoop> sqoop version Warning: /usr/lib/hbase does not exist! HBase imports will fail. Please set $HBASE_HOME to the root of your HBase installation. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getInstances(Ljava/lang/ String;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/util/List; at org.apache.sqoop.tool.SqoopTool.loadPlugins(SqoopTool.java:139) at org.apache.sqoop.Sqoop.runTool(Sqoop.java:210) at org.apache.sqoop.Sqoop.runTool(Sqoop.java:229) at org.apache.sqoop.Sqoop.main(Sqoop.java:238) at com.cloudera.sqoop.Sqoop.main(Sqoop.java:57) I could do the same trick for the org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getInstances method, but I haven't found the correct jar-file yet. And this is definitely not the correct way to do it. Can anyone help me setting up Sqoop correctly? Thanks for your help in advance.
