org.apache.oozie.action.ActionExecutorException: JA009: Cannot initialize Cluster.

[#1]

I am using ambari installation and trying to run a coordinator oozie job that imports data to hive using sqoop.

I have them installed, up and running on server.

My workflow.xml looks like this:

  <workflow-app name="once-a-day" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
<start to="sqoopAction"/>
        <action name="sqoopAction">
                <sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
                        <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
                        <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
                    <command>import-all-tables --connect jdbc:mysql://HOST_NAME/erp --username hiveusername --password hivepassword
                        --</command>
                </sqoop>
                <ok to="end"/>
                <error to="killJob"/>
        </action>
<kill name="killJob">
            <message>"Killed job due to error: ${wf:errorMessage(wf:lastErrorNode())}"</message>
        </kill>
<end name="end" />
</workflow-app>

I get this error:

How do I fix this? I have tried everything suggested on Internet but nothing fixes it

You would have to make sure that the mapreduce.framework.name is set correctly ( yarn I suppose ) and the mapred files are there but first please verify that your nameNode parameter is set correctly. HDFS is very exact about it and requires the hdfs:// in front.

So hdfs://nameonode:8020 instead of namenode:8020
