sqoop import failing with no command found error


I am trying to import SQL Server tables directly to HBase, below is the sqoop import syntax

sqoop import --connect "jdbc:sqlserver://server_IP:port;databaseName=xxx" --username xxx --password xxx --table sqoop_HBase--hbase-table employeeHBase --column-family amitesh --hbase-row-key empid --hbase-create-table -m 1

Here I am facing two issues

1) If I am taking jdbc:sqlserver://server_IP:port;databaseName=xxx in double quotes, I am getting below error

5 06:02:05 INFO sqoop.Sqoop: Running Sqoop version: 1.4.6_IBM_27
17/06/05 06:02:05 WARN tool.BaseSqoopTool: Setting your password on the command-line is insecure. Consider using -P instead.

17/06/05 06:02:05 ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Unrecognized argument: 1

2) when I undo the double quotes, and execute the command , I get below error

--table or --query is required for import. (Or use sqoop import-all-tables.)
Try --help for usage instructions.
-bash: --username: command not found

I pretty sure that I am mistyping command syntax.May be I am wrong though.


Solution

  • There must be space between --table sqoop_HBase and --hbase-table employeeHBase
