What Should I Do If the MySQL Driver Package Is Missing When Data Is Imported or Exported Using Sqoop?

Symptom

When the sqoop import or sqoop export command is executed, the error message "Could not load db driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" is displayed, as shown in Figure 1. This indicates that the MySQL driver package is missing.
