[#1]

I tried couple of times new to this can someone tell ma where i am going wrong i am having the following error:

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myfirsttutorial --username retail_dba --password cloudera --table mytable --target-dir /sqoop_im port_data -m 1

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Your target directory path has a space character in it that makes sqoop
think it's two different values being passed. Remove the space in the path
word 'im port's.

hello,

    Thank you for your reply,but still error is coming but its different.

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myfirsttutorial --username retail_dba --password cloudera --table mytable --target-dir /sqoop_import_data -m 1

The DB is throwing back an error this time. The message is self explanatory
though:

Access denied for user 'retail_dba'@'%' to database 'myfirsttutorial'

Please open a new topic as your issue is unrelated to this topic. This helps keep issues separate and improves your search experience.

Effectively your issue is that your YARN Resource Manager is either (1) down, due to a crash explained in the /var/log/hadoop-yarn/*.out files, or (2) not serving on the external address that quickstart.cloudera runs on, for which you need to ensure that 'nslookup $(hostname -f)' resolves to the external address in your VM and not localhost/127.0.0.1.
