Unable to import data using scoop: exitCode=255 - sqoop

Question

I am a noob in hadoop spark. I have setup a hadoop/spark cluster (1 namenode, 2 datanode). Now I am trying to import data from DB (mysql) using scoop in HDFS, but its failing always

I am able to manually write in HDFS:
hdfs dfs -put <local file path> <hdfs path>
But when i run scoop import command
sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://<host>/<db_name> --username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> --table <TABLE_NAME> --enclosed-by '\"' --fields-terminated-by , --escaped-by \\ -m 1 --target-dir <hdfs location>
Can any one please tell me what I am doing wrong
Here is the list of things that I have already tried
Shutting down cluster, formatting HDFS, then restarting cluster (didn't help)
Made sure that HDFS is not in SAFE MODE
all the nodes have this in their /etc/hosts

Answer 1

From where u are trying to import the data. I mean from which machine you are trying to connect.check the master and slaves file in both namenode and datanode.
Try to ping the ip address from different server and check if it's showing as up.

Answer 2

Make these changes and restart your cluster, and try again:
Edit the part as mention in comment(#) below, and remove the comment
/etc/hosts file on client node:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourcomputername #get computername by "hostname -f" command and replace here
172.31.55.182 namenode_hostname ip-172-31-55-182.ec2.internal
172.31.58.123 datanode1_hostname ip-172-31-58-123.ec2.internal
172.31.58.122 datanode2_hostname ip-172-31-58-122.ec2.internal
/etc/hosts file on cluster nodes:
198.22.23.212 youcomputername #change to public ip of client node, change computername same as client node
172.31.55.182 namenode_hostname ip-172-31-55-182.ec2.internal
172.31.58.123 datanode1_hostname ip-172-31-58-123.ec2.internal
172.31.58.122 datanode2_hostname ip-172-31-58-122.ec2.internal

Answer 3

I am terminating this cluster and starting from scratch.
