Greetings, I am getting this error despite many different tries. The error occurs when I invoke the getConnection() method of org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.db.DBConfiguration.
I have looked at the jar file (generated using Maven) for the Hadoop job and indeed I find that the jar file lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar is present (and in this jar file is indeed the class com/mysql/jdbc/Driver.class) I have tried specifying the jar using -libjars option of the Hadoop jar command. No difference. I have also tried setting CLASSPATH to the full path of the same jar; also no difference. Any suggestions appreciated.
