Dear Markus,
Thank you for your reply, I think I managed to make it work (albeit with a few
quirks).
I was following https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.99.7/admin/Installation.html to
setup sqoop en somewhere it says that you need to setup a hadoop proxy user.
Since the version I have is 1.4.7 I thought I might remove this part and it
started to work again.
I am very grateful for the reply and thank you for your comments, they did
help in giving a bit more understanding.
Mark

Onderwerp: Re: sqoop 1.4.7 nullpointer during import
Hey Mark,
Couple of comments
* Generally I would discourage using the dot "." character with params, you
will likely observe mixed behavior
* When using --hive-import Sqoop expects
* Hive targets (--hive-database and --hive-table)
* The --target-dir becomes transient, a "temp" location not the Hive
table path
If you are trying to use Hive Import try
sqoop import \
--bindir ./ \
--connect {database_string} \
--username {user} \
--password {password} \
--table {table_name} \
--hive-import \
--hive-database {hive_database} \
--hive-table {hive_table}
[--hive-overwrite] /* append is the default */
--target-dir /{temporary_staging_dir}/ \
--delete-target-dir \
If you are trying to bypass Hive Import and write directly to the Hive table
path try
sqoop import \
--bindir ./ \
--connect {database_string} \
--username {user} \
--password {password} \
--table {table_name} \
--target-dir /{hive_table_path}/ \
[--delete-target-dir | --append] \

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:

--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
