There are multiple safety valves for sqoop, and you are editing the wrong one. See my first reply. You need to edit the one that will alter sqoop.properties, NOT the one that will alter the environment. Read the name and description carefully. ... View more

Did you configure the agents to talk to your Cloudera Manager server and start them? This is on the path B documentation, but it can be easy to miss if you aren't reading carefully.   CM 5 Path B install documentation, in the section "Install the Cloudera Manager Agent Packages": http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM5/latest/Cloudera-Manager-Installation-Guide/cm5ig_install_path_B.html?scroll=cmig_topic_6_6_6_unique_1 ...

Hi Knut,   You need to upgrade CM to the GA release of 5.0.0 as well. CM 5.0.0 has renamed this property and changed the default to 10 seconds so Impala wil start correctly.   There's a few manual steps, when you do this upgrade, but it seems like you've already figured them out since you got the CDH 5 upgrade working.   Also be sure to hard_restart your CM agents when you do the CM upgrade, as described in the CM 4 to 5 upgrade guide (which is sort of relevant when doing beta 2 to GA upgrade): http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM5/latest/Cloudera-Manager-Administration-Guide/cm5ag_upgrade_cm4_to_cm5.html   Thanks, Darren ...
