Can anyone please tell me that, does HCatalog require installation before using? Or it can be used just as a jar file?
I have Cloudera running on a VM, and I can use HCatalog for my MR job, Pig, Hive with no problem. And I thought the same MR code would work with another hadoop installed platform, but obviously it's not the case, exception thrown on the HCatInputFormat.setInput(). When I use Pig -useHCatalog, I'ved been prompted that the usage was wrong, meaning that it didn't know what's -useHCatalog as a parameter.
Didn't thought about this before as have been using HCatalog on Cloudera...
Yes, you need to install and start HCatalog server. HCatalog should come with the latest Hive tar package.
Check here of Apache Hive documentation for details,
Basically you need to,
Setup MySQL database for HCatalog
Run server install script
share/hcatalog/scripts/hcat_server_install.sh -r root -d dbroot -h
hadoop_home -p portnum
Start the HCatalog server
export HIVE_HOME=hive_home
$HIVE_HOME/sbin/hcat_server.sh start
As pointed out, you do not need to install hcatalog separately if you are working with hive 0.12 or later versions.

After we install hive-3.2.1 on Hadoop-3.3.0 in Ubuntu, we start the hive services. I am not sure how HIVE identifies hadoop services though we don't give anything related to Hadoop in the HIVE setup process. Does HIVE identify hadoop by the means of HADOOP_HOME environment variable defined in .bashrc file ?
Can someone please confirm my understanding.
Thanks!
Yes, Hive uses HADOOP_HOME/conf to discover the cluster, which could be specified in hive-env.sh
Just wondering can sqoop run without a hadoop cluster? sort of in a standalone mode? Has anyone tried to run sqoop on spark, please share some experiences on it.
To run Sqoop commands (both sqoop1 and sqoop2), Hadoop is a mandatory prerequisite. You cannot run sqoop commands without the Hadoop libraries.
Sqoop works in local mode too, so it is not a requirement that the Hadoop daemons must be running. To run sqoop in local mode,
sqoop [tool-name] -fs local -jt local [tool-arguments]
Sqoop on Spark is still In-Progress. See SQOOP-1532
I have Hadoop(pseudo distributed mode), Hive, sqoop and mysql installed in my local machine.
But when I am trying to run sqoop Its giving me the following error
Error: /usr/lib/hadoop does not exist!
Please set $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME to the root of your Hadoop installation.
Then I set the sqoop-env-template.sh file with all the information. Beneath is the snapshot of the sqoop-env-template.sh file.
Even after providing the hadoop hive path I face the same error.
I've installed
hadoop in /home/hduser/hadoop version 1.0.3
hive in /home/hduser/hive version 0.11.0
sqoop in /home/hduser/sqoop version 1.4.4
and mysql connector jar java-5.1.29
Could anybody please throw some light on what is going wrong
sqoop-env-template.sh is a template, meaning it doesn't by itself get sourced by the configurator. If you want it to have a custom conf and load it, make a copy as $SQOOP_HOME/conf/sqoop-env.sh.
Note: here is the relevant excerpt from bin/configure-sqoop for version 1.4.4:
SQOOP_CONF_DIR=${SQOOP_CONF_DIR:-${SQOOP_HOME}/conf}
if [ -f "${SQOOP_CONF_DIR}/sqoop-env.sh" ]; then
. "${SQOOP_CONF_DIR}/sqoop-env.sh"
fi
I have configured hadoop 2.2.0 as single node cluster ( was able to run example jar)
Now I need to make hive perform queries using this hadoop
should I set
mapred.job.tracker
to
yarn.resourcemanager.resource-tracker.address
property?
tried so, but can't see the data loaded into hive tables in hdfs
I don't have enough reputation points to add a comment, so trying to help via an answer.
What are the daemons currently running for Hadoop? Use ps -eaf |
grep "java" to check.
Do you see the JobTracker running or the ResourceManager?
Also, can you elaborate on the steps you performed to install Hive?
I have screen cast, Installing Apache Hive that walks you through installing Hive. Next, you can follow my blog post Apache Hive - Getting Started. Hope this helps.
I have a 6 node cloudera based hadoop cluster and I'm trying to connect to an oracle database from a sqoop action in oozie.
I have copied my ojdbc6.jar into the sqoop lib location (which for me happens to be at: /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.2.0-1.cdh4.2.0.p0.10/lib/sqoop/lib/ ) on all the nodes and have verified that I can run a simple 'sqoop eval' from all the 6 nodes.
Now when I run the same command using Oozie's sqoop action, I get "Could not load db driver class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
I have read this article about using shared libs and it makes sense to me when we're talking about my task/action/workflow specific dependencies. But I see a JDBC driver installation as an extention to sqoop and so I think it belongs in the sqoop installation lib.
Now the question is, while sqoop sees this ojdbc6 jar I have put into it's lib folder, how come my Oozie workflow doesn't see it?
Is this something expected or am I missing something?
As an aside, what do you guy think about where is the appropriate location for a JDBC driver jar?
Thanks in advance!
The JDBC driver jar (and any jars it depends on) should go in your Oozie sharelib folder on HDFS. I'm running Hortonworks Data Platform 1.2 instead of Cloudera 4.2 so the details may vary, but my JDBC driver is located in /user/oozie/share/lib/sqoop. This should allow you to run Sqoop with the JDBC via Oozie.
It is not necessary to put to the JDBC driver jar in the sqoop lib on the data nodes. In my setupt I can't run a simple sqoop eval from the command line on my data nodes. I understand the logic for why you thought this would work. The reason the JDBC driver jar needs to be on HDFS is so that all the data nodes have access to it. Your solution should accomplish the same goal. I'm not familiar enough with the inner workings of Oozie to say why using the sharelib works but your solution does not.
In CDH5, you should put the jar to '/user/oozie/share/lib/lib_${timestamp}/sqoop', and after that, you must update the sharelib or restart oozie.
update sharelib:
oozie admin -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -sharelibupdate
If you are using CDH-5 the JDBC driver jar (and any jars it depends on) should go in '/user/oozie/share/lib/lib_timestamp/sqoop' folder on HDFS.
I was facing the same issue it was not able to find the mysql jar. I am using cloudera 4.4 in this even oozie admin -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -sharelibupdate command will not work
To resolve the issue I had followed the below steps:
create a user in Hue with hdfs and provide the admin privileges
using Hue UI upload the jar into /user/oozie/share/lib/sqoop hdfs path
or you can use below command:
hadoop put /var/lib/sqoop2/mysql-connector-java.jar /user/oozie/share/lib/sqoop
Once the jar is placed run the oozie command.
