I am working on HDPCD practice test instance. Can anybody let me know -

a) Is there anything I should do before issue sqoop command on AWS practice instance.

b) what is the parameter I should use for --connect jdbc:?????

@Vidya SK

Run below command to list the tables:

sqoop list-tables --connect jdbc:mysql://<mysql-server>/database --username <username> --password <password>

[#3]

what is the value for <MySQL-server> on practice instance?

[#4]

The server name is namenode

@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

With the above grep command, I got the following:

I am getting following error. Please suggest.

@Vidya SK - you are getting access denied exception that means user root does not have access to mysql DB using password 'hadoop'. please check your password and try again with valid username and password

[#9]

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:

@rich @Vidya SK are you still having issues with this? Can you accept best answer or provide your own solution?

@Artem Ervits

During the HDPCD exam, do we have to do this initial set up like - set up user, grant access etc. before we use sqoop commands? Or are these already taken care and we just run sqoop commands? If some access is not working can we ask the proctor to stop the clock and set up the required environment?

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.

@rich I have accepted this as best answer.

I ran the sqoop command. I get the following error msg. Please look at the screen shot. Thanks.

You spelled "input-fields-terminated-by" incorrectly. I would bet that it will work once you fix that.
