I'm not sure whether it's connected to your problem, but sqoop is designed to firstly import data into HDFS to a temporary directory and than using hive command "LOAD DATA" move them to target location in HIVE warehouse directory. You seems to be importing data directly into default HIVE warehouse directory (--targer-dir /user/hive/warehouse/sample_rm2). I would firstly try to change --target-dir parameter to simple "--target-dir sample_rm2" (directory with this name will be created in your HDFS home directory) or any other HDFS path outside /user/hive/warehouse.
This helped quite a lot I've again forgot about not writting into hive warehouse directly. Now, when I execute it with --target-dir sample_rm , and not full path, sqoop finishes execution. However Hive is not aware of this table. The appropriate directory is in /user/hive/warehouse, but is not visible via 'show tables' in hive shell, nor I can select any data from it. Is there an easy fix for that? Marcin
