I believe I have the same exact problem. I get more details if I set debug logging prior to running sqoop. export HADOOP_ROOT_LOGGER=DEBUG,console Note that my cluster in not Kerberized. Here are the debug messages I get while it appears to be hung. But the job still never finishes. It keeps repeating the messages at about 5 minute intervals. 18/08/29 09:13:23 INFO hive.HiveImport: Connecting to jdbc:hive2://node1:2181,node1:2181,node1:2181/default;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2 18/08/29 09:13:24 DEBUG impl.LeaseRenewer: Lease renewer daemon for [] with renew id 1 executed 18/08/29 09:13:27 DEBUG impl.LeaseRenewer: Lease renewer daemon for [] with renew id 1 expired 18/08/29 09:13:27 DEBUG impl.LeaseRenewer: Lease renewer daemon for [] with renew id 1 exited 18/08/29 09:13:47 DEBUG ipc.Client: IPC Client (505973878) connection to node2/172.21.0.11:41588 from agileanalytics: closed 18/08/29 09:13:47 DEBUG ipc.Client: IPC Client (505973878) connection to node2/172.21.0.11:41588 from agileanalytics: stopped, remaining connections 1 18/08/29 09:13:48 DEBUG ipc.Client: IPC Client (505973878) connection to node2/172.21.0.10:8020 from agileanalytics: closed 18/08/29 09:13:48 DEBUG ipc.Client: IPC Client (505973878) connection to node2/172.21.0.10:8020 from agileanalytics: stopped, remaining connections 0 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG clients.NetworkClient: [Producer clientId=producer-1] Initialize connection to node node3:6667 (id: 1002 rack: null) for sending metadata request 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG clients.NetworkClient: [Producer clientId=producer-1] Initiating connection to node node3:6667 (id: 1002 rack: null) 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG metrics.Metrics: Added sensor with name node-1002.bytes-sent 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG metrics.Metrics: Added sensor with name node-1002.bytes-received 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG metrics.Metrics: Added sensor with name node-1002.latency 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG network.Selector: [Producer clientId=producer-1] Created socket with SO_RCVBUF = 32768, SO_SNDBUF = 131072, SO_TIMEOUT = 0 to node 1002 18/08/29 09:18:18 DEBUG clients.NetworkClient: [Producer clientId=producer-1] Completed connection to node 1002.
