Thanks for your help Cheolsoo, I added the sqoop jar to hadoop's lib dir and now my mr job runs fine. Marc

In fact, I realized that SqoopRecord is needed by MR jobs to deserialize sequence files. Again, I am sorry for the confusion.

I believe the result in the hdfs file is a serialization of the java object of a class generated automatically by sqoop, the class name is the table name and extends SqoopRecord: let's call it table_name.java . A serialization of 'table_name' is not the result. The auto-generated Java class is only for Sqoop to interface with the DB. The result is sequence files that contain data. Now, I am trying to run a MapReduce job against this file but it is failing, I added the class table_name.java in my jar. But when I run the mapreduce job, I get "ClassNotFoundException: com.cloudera.sqoop.lib.SqoopRecord". Even with the option -libjars sqoop-1.3.0.jar. I am not clear what MR jobs you're running here. 1) If you're importing data, I am wondering why you have to do this manually since it should be automatically done by Sqoop: compile table_name into a jar, load the jar into hdfs, pass the path to the jar to import mapper jobs, etc 2) If you're running your own MR jobs on imported data, they don't need to know about 'tabe_name' or 'SqoopRecord' since data are already in sequence file format, so your MR jobs should be able to understand them. Hope this is helpful. Thanks, Cheolsoo On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 9:28 AM, Marc Sturm <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I am new to hadoop and sqoop. So far I was able to run a single node hadoop cluster on my mac and I am trying to load data from sql server using sqoop 1.3 and Microsoft's sqoop connector. The data is stored as varbinary column (though it is text blob) and I am loading it into hadoop with sqoop using the --as-sequencefile option. I believe the result in the hdfs file is a serialization of the java object of a class generated automatically by sqoop, the class name is the table name and extends SqoopRecord: let's call it table_name.java .

If you can help me understand what the problem is or point me to the right documentation that would be great.
