Connecting Sqoop to MySQL

Issue

The user does not know how to connect Sqoop to MySQL.

Procedure

1. Install the client in the cluster and check whether the MySQL driver package exists in the sqoop/lib directory of the client.

   

2. Load environment variables in the client directory.

   source bigdata_env

   kinit admin
