Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-475: ------------------------------------------ Hi George, I'm still not sure what pgm is or how exactly are you executing the sqoop. It appears that your execution is storing imported data directly on the disk (path file://), however your hive instance is configured to have warehouse directory on hdfs (hdfs://localhost:9000). Those two locations needs to be in sync, so you either need to store the import on your local HDFS or reconfigure hive to use your local disk (I'm not sure whether it's supported).
