Hi, When I start sqoop (sqoop-1.4.1-incubating__hadoop-0.23), it fails with the below error.
pradeeban@pradeeban:~/programs/sqoop-1.4.1-incubating__hadoop-0.23/bin$ ./sqoop Warning: /usr/lib/hbase does not exist! HBase imports will fail. Please set $HBASE_HOME to the root of your HBase installation. log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.NullAppender log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "NullAppender". Try 'sqoop help' for usage. I notice the NullAppender issue is same as the one reported for Hadoop in [1]. So I wanted to apply the changes proposed (basically, adding the NullAppender to the log4j.properties) in the patch attached to the above mentioned jira. +# Null Appender +log4j.appender.NullAppender=org.apache.log4j.varia.NullAppender However, I couldn't find the log4j.properties for sqoop. Can I get some help in figuring out this, or is there any other effective solution to tackle the initial startup problem of sqoop. Thank you. Regards, Pradeeban.
