Apache Sqoop Changes

After upgrading from CDH to CDP, Sqoop action errors are not logged due to an change in the log4j configuration. You must configure Oozie to log Sqoop action errors in the Oozie launcher log.

Before Upgrade to CDP

The Sqoop action in an Oozie workflow log errors to the Oozie launcher log. For example: 
>>> Invoking Sqoop command line now >>>
 2021-01-11 09:58:21,438 [main] WARN  org.apache.sqoop.tool.SqoopTool  - $SQOOP_CONF_DIR has not been set in the environment. Cannot check for additional configuration.
 2021-01-11 09:58:21,489 [main] INFO  org.apache.sqoop.Sqoop  - Running Sqoop version: 1.4.7.7.1.5.0-257
 2021-01-11 09:58:21,503 [main] WARN  org.apache.sqoop.tool.BaseSqoopTool  - Setting your password on the command-line is insecure. Consider using -P instead.

After Upgrade to CDP

The Sqoop action in an Oozie workflow does not log errors to the Oozie launcher log. For example: 
>>> Invoking Sqoop command line now >>>

Action Required

Configure the Sqoop action to use the log4j1 configuration for this Sqoop action and the Hue workspace only.

  1. Create a log4j.properties file and upload it to the lib directory in the workflow.xml path inside HDFS. 
    log4j.rootLogger=INFO , A
log4j.logger.org.apache.sqoop=INFO, A
log4j.additivity.org.apache.sqoop=false
log4j.appender.A=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.logger.org.apache.sqoop=INFO, A
  2. In the workflow.xml file or in the Sqoop action in Hue interface, configure the Sqoop action to use the log4j.properties file by configuring SqoopAction > Properties > yarn.app.mapreduce.am.admin-command-opts: Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties.

Check Parquet writer implementation property

You might need to set the Parquet writer implementation property to hadoop. In releases before CDP 7.1.6/Cloudera Manager 7.3.1, the Parquet writer implementation property (parquetjob.configurator.implementation) default was not hadoop.

If you upgraded to a CDP release earlier than CDP 7.1.6, change the default value of the Parquet writer implementation property to hadoop. Making this change prevents encountering the following error when using the Sqoop client: 
Post upgrade sqoop failed with the error "Invalid Parquet job configurator implementation is set: kite. Supported values are: [HADOOP]" ,
  1. In Cloudera Manager, click Clusters > Sqoop 1 Client > Configuration, and search for Parquet writer implementation.
  2. Change the value to hadoop.

Configure a Sqoop Action globally and for all Hue workspaces

  1. In Cloudera Manager, click Clusters > Oozie-1 > Configuration, and search for Oozie Server Advanced Configuration.
  2. Scroll down, locate the Oozie Server Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for oozie-site.xml, and click +.
  3. Add the following property name and value. 
    <property>
  <name>oozie.service.HadoopAccessorService.action.configurations</name>
  <value>*=/var/lib/oozie/action-conf</value>
</property>
  4. Login to the server running the Oozie service as root and run the following commands. 
    mkdir -p /var/lib/oozie/action-conf
chown -R oozie:oozie /var/lib/oozie
  5. Create a sqoop.xml file that configures the yarn.app.mapreduce.am.admin-command-opts property. 
    <configuration>
<property>
<name>yarn.app.mapreduce.am.admin-command-opts</name>
<value>-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties</value>
</property>
</configuration>
  6. Copy the file to /var/lib/oozie/action-conf and ensure it is owned by oozie:oozie.
  7. Copy the log4j.properties file to Oozie shared lib /user/oozie/share/lib/lib_<timestamp>/sqoop and restart Oozie service.
