The connection URL for the practice exam is:

--connect jdbc:mysql://namenode/flightinfo

There is nothing special you need to do prior to running the Sqoop command. The environment is configured properly for Sqoop to connect to MySQL. The entire working Sqoop command can be found in the /home/horton/solutions/ folder.

Please share your Sqoop command. Have you tried comparing your Sqoop command to the solution in the /home/horton/solutions folder?
