Sqoop hive import from oozie - hive

Question

I am using Cloudera Quick Start Docker image
The quickstart image has mysql installed in it. When i use following sqoop command from command line to import categories table it works and i can see that categories table is created
sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/retail_db --username root --password cloudera -m 1 --table categories --hive-import --hive-overwrite
Then i logged into Hue as cloudera user and i did create a new oozie workflow with single sqoop task, but when i try to execute that sqoop is able to download the data into HDFS, but when it tries to create hive table on top of that it fails
This is how my workflow.xml looks like
<workflow-app name="My_Workflow" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.5" xmlns:sla="uri:oozie:sla:0.2">
<start to="sqoop-4467"/>
<kill name="Kill">
<message>Action failed, error message[${wf:errorMessage(wf:lastErrorNode())}]</message>
</kill>
<action name="sqoop-4467">
<sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
<command>import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/retail_db --username root --password cloudera -m 1 --table categories --hive-import --hive-overwrite
</command>
</sqoop>
<ok to="End"/>
<error to="Kill"/>
<sla:info>
<sla:nominal-time>${nominal_time}</sla:nominal-time>
<sla:should-end>${30 * MINUTES}</sla:should-end>
</sla:info>
</action>
<end name="End"/>
</workflow-app>
This is how my job.properties file looks like
oozie.use.system.libpath=True
security_enabled=False
dryrun=False
nameNode=hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020
nominal_time=2016-12-20T20:53Z
jobTracker=quickstart.cloudera:8032
After the job failed, when i checked the /user/home/cloudera folder i can see the categories folder with data but i dont see the hive table being created. This is the error that i see in the jobhistory server for the failed job
Sqoop command arguments :
import
--connect
jdbc:mysql://localhost/retail_db
--username
root
--password
cloudera
-m
1
--table
categories
--hive-import
--hive-overwrite

Answer 1

did you copy the hive-site.xml to HDFS ?that will do or you can import the table to hdfs path using --target-dir and set the location of hive table to point that path
