Everything is configured perfectly fine on the real exam for Sqoop to work. It's also configured correctly on the practice exam. If you are having trouble getting the command to work, the solution is in the /home/horton/solutions folder on the Ubuntu instance. Try running the solution. If that fails, please share the error and I can help you from there.

@Vidya SK - Goto Ambari UI -> select Hive service -> you should see mysql server there -> just point your mouse arrow over the link and you should get the name of mysql server

OR

you will get it in hive-site.xml

grep -A 2 mysql /etc/hive/conf/hive-site.xml

Just reset the root password I had to reset the MySQL password to do so follow the below process.Start the DB if its down

[root@sandbox]# service mysqld start

Starting mysqld: [ OK ]

Reset the MySQL password

[root@sandbox]# mysqladmin -u root -h sandbox.hortonworks.com password 'newpassword'

[root@sandbox]# mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword'

Try out the new password and it seems to work out well

[root@sandbox]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:
