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

Symptom

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