I have a hadoop ha setup based on cdh5.I have tried to import tables from mysql by using sqoop failed with following error.
15/03/20 12:47:53 ERROR manager.
Try the exact command as like below.
sqoop import --connect "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/books" --username=root --password=root --table authors --as-textfile --target-dir=/datasqoop/authors_db --columns "id, name, email" --split-by id --driver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
