Sqoop Job Exception - hadoop

Question

I am getting the following Exception when I'm trying to List the Sqoop JOBS.
I'm not able to create the Soop jobs because of this exception:
root#ubuntu:/usr/lib/sqoop/conf# sqoop job --list 16/04/11 01:51:44

This may possibly be because sqoop cannot find the hsqldb which it uses to store job information. Check if you have "metastore.db.script" file in the sqoop installed directory, if not create it.
Create a file named "metastore.db.script" and put the following lines
CREATE SCHEMA PUBLIC AUTHORIZATION DBA
CREATE MEMORY TABLE SQOOP_ROOT(VERSION INTEGER,PROPNAME VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,PROPVAL VARCHAR(256),CONSTRAINT SQOOP_ROOT_UNQ UNIQUE(VERSION,PROPNAME))
CREATE MEMORY TABLE SQOOP_SESSIONS(JOB_NAME VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,PROPNAME VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,PROPVAL VARCHAR(1024),PROPCLASS VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT SQOOP_SESSIONS_UNQ UNIQUE(JOB_NAME,PROPNAME,PROPCLASS))
CREATE USER SA PASSWORD ""
GRANT DBA TO SA
SET WRITE_DELAY 10
SET SCHEMA PUBLIC
INSERT INTO SQOOP_ROOT VALUES(NULL,'sqoop.hsqldb.job.storage.version','0')
INSERT INTO SQOOP_ROOT VALUES(0,'sqoop.hsqldb.job.info.table','SQOOP_SESSIONS')
Now create "metastore.db.properties" file and put these lines
#HSQL Database Engine 1.8.0.10
#Fri Aug 04 14:07:10 IST 2017
hsqldb.script_format=0
runtime.gc_interval=0
sql.enforce_strict_size=false
hsqldb.cache_size_scale=8
readonly=false
hsqldb.nio_data_file=true
hsqldb.cache_scale=14
version=1.8.0
hsqldb.default_table_type=memory
hsqldb.cache_file_scale=1
hsqldb.log_size=200
modified=no
hsqldb.cache_version=1.7.0
hsqldb.original_version=1.8.0
hsqldb.compatible_version=1.8.0
Now create a directory named ".sqoop" if not already created and put these two files there. Now run your job.
