This is the documentation for Cloudera Manager 5.0.x. Documentation for other versions is available at Cloudera Documentation.

The Sqoop 1 Client

The Sqoop 1 client allows you to create a Sqoop 1 gateway and deploy the client configuration.

Installing JDBC Drivers

Sqoop 1 does not ship with third-party JDBC drivers; you must download them separately. For information on downloading and saving the drivers, see (CDH 4) Installing JDBC Drivers and (CDH 5) Installing JDBC Drivers. Ensure that you do not save JARs in the CDH parcel directory /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH, because this directory is overwritten when you upgrade CDH.

Adding the Sqoop 1 Client

The Sqoop 1 client packages are installed by the first run installation wizard. However, the client configuration is not deployed. To create a Sqoop 1 gateway and deploy the client configuration:
  1. On the Home page, click to the right of the cluster name and select Add a Service. A list of service types display. You can add one type of service at a time.
  2. Select the Sqoop 1 Client service and click Continue.
  3. Select the radio button next to the services on which the new service should depend and click Continue.
  4. Customize the assignment of role instances to hosts. The wizard evaluates the hardware configurations of the hosts to determine the best hosts for each role. The wizard assigns all worker roles to the same set of hosts to which the HDFS DataNode role is assigned. These assignments are typically acceptable, but you can reassign services to hosts of your choosing, if desired.

    Click a field below a role to display a dialog containing a pageable list of hosts. If you click a field containing multiple hosts, you can also select All Hosts to assign the role to all hosts or Custom to display the pageable hosts dialog.

    The following shortcuts for specifying host names are supported:
    • Range of hostnames (without the domain portion)
      Range Definition Matching Hosts
      10.1.1.[1-4] 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4
      host[1-3].company.com host1.company.com, host2.company.com, host3.company.com
      host[07-10].company.com host07.company.com, host08.company.com, host09.company.com, host10.company.com
    • IP addresses
    • Rack name

    Click the View By Host button for an overview of the role assignment by host ranges.

  5. Click Continue. The client configuration deployment command runs.
  6. Click Continue and click Finish.
