11.5.15

Sqoop.....

1. Funny version numbers:

Latest stable release is 1.4.6 (downloaddocumentation). Latest cut of Sqoop2 is 1.99.6 (downloaddocumentation). Note that 1.99.6 is not compatible with 1.4.6 and not feature complete, it is not intended for production deployment.

2. Quick demo

Sqoop 5 Minutes Demo — Apache Sqoop documentation

3. Compatibility with Hadoop

Sqoop server supports multiple Hadoop versions. However as Hadoop major versions are not compatible with each other, Sqoop have multiple binary artefacts - one for each supported major version of Hadoop. You need to make sure that you’re using appropriated binary artifact for your specific Hadoop version.

hadoop - Sqoop - Could not find or load main class org.apache.sqoop.Sqoop - Stack Overflow

make sure you have sqoop-1.4.3.jar under your SQOOP HOME directory.

Note : May be because you had downloaded wrong distribution under Sqoop Distribution

thanks for your answer; right distribution is sqoop-x.y.z.bin__hadoop.a.b.c; now it's working. –  talha06 Mar 21 '13 at 7:48

It seems sqoop is quit difficult to install.. Just try Cloudera Quick VM for now.
