Sqoop 1 Prerequisites

Sqoop 1 requires the following:

• An operating system supported by CDH 5.
• Oracle JDK.
• Services that you want to use with Sqoop, such as HBase, Hive HCatalog, and Accumulo. When you run Sqoop, it checks to see if these services are installed and configured. It logs warnings for services it does not find. These warnings, shown below, are harmless. You can suppress these error messages by setting the variables $HBASE_HOME, $HCAT_HOME and $ACCUMULO_HOME to any existing directory.

  > Warning: /usr/lib/sqoop/../hbase does not exist! HBase imports will fail.
  > Please set $HBASE_HOME to the root of your HBase installation.
  > Warning: /usr/lib/sqoop/../hive-hcatalog does not exist! HCatalog jobs will fail.
  > Please set $HCAT_HOME to the root of your HCatalog installation.
  > Warning: /usr/lib/sqoop/../accumulo does not exist! Accumulo imports will fail.
  > Please set $ACCUMULO_HOME to the root of your Accumulo installation.
