I am trying to install oozie 4.2.0.2.4 on version HDP 2.4.2.0 cluster. I am following the steps mentioned on Hortonworks documentation. When running the following command: /usr/hdp/current/oozie-server/bin/ooziedb.sh create -sqlfile /tmp/oozie.sql -run I get the following error: Validate DB Connection SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
