Importing sqoop data - cloudera live exercise 1

[#1]

Hi,

I m very new to hadoop as well as to distributed computing. I was trying to do the first exercise in cloudera live demo and got stuck in the part where we have to import the data using sqoop. Firstly, i see that the cloud cluster CDH 5.2.0 has the option of only sqoop2 and secondly, I don't see any terminal to run the given command. Sorry if my question is very lame. Can someone please help me with where exactly to input this sqoop query. Thanks !

Your cluster has both Sqoop 1 and Sqoop 2, and they are both managed by
Cloudera Manager (although Sqoop 2 is a service, rather than a command-line
tool, and that service is not started by default - but the tool and
configuration for the command-line tool is deployed on all the machines in
the cluster). I think when you say you see only one, you're referring to
the Sqoop 2 app in Hue? If so, then yes, the Sqoop app in Hue only supports
Sqoop 2.

To run the Sqoop command in the tutorial, you must be logged in to the
manager node via SSH. You can use PuTTY (on Windows) or the ssh command
(OpenSSH, on everything else). A page or two before the Sqoop step in the
tutorial, there should be directions for getting the SSH credentials to
your GoGrid cluster.

Got it! Thanks. 

But now I m getting the below error while running the following sqoop import command.

Can you please help me with this? Thanks!

There's a known issue in CDH 5.2.0 (that's since been fixed) that prevents
Sqoop from importing Parquet datasets. I think you might be using a version
of the tutorial that's not intended for your specific cluster (which would
also explain why you missed the instructions for logging in on GoGrid,
specifically). Are you using the tutorial hosted on Cloudera's website,
perhaps? It's intended for a generic environment using a more recent
version - I'd recommend using the one that's customized for the version of
CDH on your cluster and running in GoGrid's environment.

You should be able to find a link to the "Guidance Page" in your welcome
email, and the tutorial is one of the resources linked to from that page.
If you pick up where you are now in that version of the tutorial, you
shouldn't have issues like this.

I did exactly what you had mentioned, used the cloudera website tutorial instead of goGrid one. The sqoop import worked fine with avro dataformat. Thanks a lot!

Hi, I am having the same problem in quickstart VM 5.7, but quick start VM 5.5 is just working fine with the same command. 

I suspect this is a bug linked with quick start VM 5.7.

Please provide a workaround for quickstart VM 5.7.

Can you post the output from when you first ran the Sqoop job? It's very unlikely you're hitting the same root problem. If you try it again, be sure you add the --hive-overwrite option since some of the tables & metadata will have already been created.

sorry, mistake on my side.

The error I got is different, was caused by having loaded examples, then run the exercise 1, triggered by existing directory in HDFS.
