@mahfooz  The mysql jar should be in the class path for the sqoop client.  Also make sure the file ha the correct permissions.

[#3]

Yes, by adding jar in classpath, i am able to import without using -libjars option also as given below.

export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/app/hadoop_users/Mahfooz/sqoop/mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.jar

sqoop import \
  --connect "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/move?verifyServerCertificate=false&zeroDateTimeBehavior=round" \
  --username "something" \
  --password "something" \
  --delete-target-dir \
  --table users \
  --fields-terminated-by "," \
  --hive-import \
  --create-hive-table \
  --hive-table test.users \
  -- \
  --schema "move"

But what is the use of this -libjars option. I am still confused.
