Hello @SajawalSultan 

 

It seems you are running the job via user cloudera_user and it needs access to /user/<username> directory to create scratch directories which it is unable to create because user "cloudera_user" does not has permissions.

 

hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x /user

 

Run hdfs dfs -chmod 777 /user from hdfs user to ensure you get proper access to /user directory.

 

Let me know if this solves your sqoop import.
