Notes

  1. Cloudera's recommendations are:
    • For Red Hat and similar systems:
      • Use MySQL server version 5.0 (or higher) and version 5.0 client shared libraries on Red Hat 5 and similar systems.
      • Use MySQL server version 5.1 (or higher) and version 5.1 client shared libraries on Red Hat 6 and similar systems.

      If you use a higher server version than recommended here (for example, if you use 5.5) make sure you install the corresponding client libraries.

    • For SLES systems, use MySQL server version 5.0 (or higher) and version 5.0 client shared libraries.
    • For Ubuntu systems:
      • Use MySQL server version 5.5 (or higher) and version 5.0 client shared libraries on Precise (12.04).
  2. For connectivity purposes only, Sqoop 1 supports MySQL5.1, PostgreSQL 9.1.4, Oracle 10.2, Teradata 13.1, and Netezza TwinFin 5.0. The Sqoop metastore works only with HSQLDB (1.8.0 and higher 1.x versions; the metastore does not work with any HSQLDB 2.x versions).
  3. Sqoop 2 can transport data to and from MySQL5.1, PostgreSQL 9.1.4, Oracle 10.2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2012. The Sqoop 2 repository is supported only on Derby.
  4. Derby is supported as shown in the table, but not always recommended. See the pages for individual components in the CDH 5 Installation Guide for recommendations.
