Installing the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver

Download the PostgreSQL JDBC driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html and copy it to the/var/lib/sqoop/ directory. For example:

$ curl -L 'http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-9.2-1002.jdbc4.jar' -o postgresql-9.2-1002.jdbc4.jar
$ sudo cp postgresql-9.2-1002.jdbc4.jar /var/lib/sqoop/

 Snippet from (reference) for cloudera 5.9x but should be similar for other versions, ambari/hdp, or native sqoop.  Just make sure you have the right download url and path for sqoop.

I already follow the step that you post but still got the same error

1. Check on the user permission of the jar file you added to your class path. Make sure jar file is in right place.

2. When you add driver manually also add this to sqoop command  --driver = org.postgresql.Driver
