Hi all,
I have been having a lot of issues getting to import data from postgres into
hive.
Using things like "--bindir ./" I have sometimes been able to get around the
"Class {table_name} not found exception"
I have been able to get a few runs of the import script without exceptions
which resulted in my hive metastore throwing exceptions which forced me to
recreate the metastore.
However, my latest issue is a nullpointer while trying to run the script:
java.lang.NullPointerException

and the import script:
sqoop import \
--bindir ./ \
--connect {database_string} \
--username {user} \
--password {password} \
--table {table_name} \
--hive-import \
--target-dir /user/hive/warehouse/{table_name}/ \
--delete-target-dir \
Looking online I have not found a cause or solution for my latest issue with
sqoop. Would any of you perhaps know the cause and the solution?
With kind regards,
Mark
