Errors in Cloudera Sqoop/Hadoop Guide, Purdue Global Student Requesting Assistance

[#1]

Hello all,

I am a student taking a course in SQL.  The final module of this course has us installing Oracle VMWare and Cloudera to utilize Hadoop.  

I went through a detailed instruction manual for the VMWare installation, including an expansion pack install and guest account install within the VMWare environment.  I ran into no problems with this installation process (linked below for reference)

Afterwards, we were to follow a Cloudera basic tutorial guide to get started (linked below). 

Cloudera Quickstart Beginners Tutorial

However, when attempting to input the first script into Terminal as provided, I began running into errors.  The script and errors received are shown below.

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import-all-tables \
> m 1 \
> connect jdbc:mysql://quickstart:3306/retail_db \
> username=retail_dba \
> password=cloudera \
> compression-codec=snappy \
> as-parquetfile \
> warehouse-dir=/user/hive/warehouse \
> hive-import

Initial errors received:

Warning: /usr/lib/sqoop/../accumulo does not exist! Accumulo imports will fail.
Please set $ACCUMULO_HOME to the root of your Accumulo installation.

I found a post on this forum indicating I need to set the Accumulo default directory for the script to use.  I ran the following script as directed.

sudo mkdir /var/lib/accumulo 
ACCUMULO_HOME='/var/lib/accumulo'
export ACCUMULO_HOME

Running this script appeared to remove the initial error I was receiving, regarding the directory, but I am still receiving errors, shown below.

Try --help for usage instructions.

  I tried reaching out to my professor regarding these issues, but his only response was to follow the guide and scripting provided...  Hoping someone here can help

Best regards!

Apologies all, I think that I figured it out.  I had been pasting the script directly as copied from the PDF, which didn't work.  Then I tried entering it in manually without the -- in front of each line, but apparently those are requirements.  I entered each line separately, with the -'s included, and the script ran, Sqoop was initiated.
