Oozie Sqoop job - cannot restore job

avatar
Expert Contributor

On HDP 2.3.4, using Oozie 4.2.0 and Sqoop 1.4.2, I'm trying to create a coordinator app that will execute sqoop jobs on a daily basis. I need the sqoop action to execute jobs because these are incremental imports.

I've configured `sqoop-site.xml` and started the `sqoop-metastore` and I'm able to create, list, and delete jobs via the command line but the workflow encounters the error: Cannot restore job: streamsummary_incremental

stderr

Sqoop command arguments :
             job
             --exec
             streamsummary_incremental

workflow.xml

  <action name="sqoop-import-job">
    <sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
      <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
      <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
      <prepare>
        <delete path="${outputDir}"/>
      </prepare>
      <arg>job</arg>

      <arg>${jobId}</arg>
    </sqoop>
    <ok to="hive-load"/>
    <error to="kill-sqoop"/>
  </action>

Additional info:

  • We're only running a single-node cluster.
  • Only Sqoop Client is installed.

I'm thinking maybe Oozie isn't able to connect to the metastore because we don't have sqoop server? Could anyone confirm this? If not that, could I have missed anything else?

Thanks!

After some more testing, I finally resolved this issue by explicitly passing in the metastore URL in the workflow.xml like so:

<arg>job</arg>
<arg>--meta-connect</arg>
<arg>jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://<myhost>:12345/sqoop</arg>
<arg>--exec</arg>
<arg>myjob</arg>

I'm not exactly sure, but I think that Oozie tries to connect to a local metastore because it doesn't have a copy of `sqoop-site.xml` and so it doesn't know the metastore url (even though I'm running on a single-node configuration)?

Unfortunately, I can't help you there. It's not something I've tried. You should create a new question for that to get better visibility and hopefully attract answers.
