Hi Abraham, I am not sure what happened but my machine restarted because of a patch update last night. After I rebooted my virtual box and restarted hadoop and sqoop, everything worked just fine including import into hdfs and hive. Regarding using -verbose flag, it really did not make a difference. Also nothing was displayed in the logs (actually there are no logs I can see for sqoop). Regarding hadoop, this is the binary distribution that I just untarred in a directory, I don't see any separate Mapreduce directory.

Sqoop uses MapReduce to distribute the transfer of data. This means that a MapReduce job will be created and several tasks to perform the work. Could you please inspect your job tracker and task logs? Also, remember to run your sqoop job with the "verbose" (--verbose) command to get the most out of logging. If you're still having difficulty, please provide your sqoop log, job tracker log, and relevant task logs. -Abe On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 1:09 PM, Firas Khasawneh <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Abraham, I am using hadoop 1.2.1. In my path, the only doubt, I have is the setting of HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME. I tried to set it to hadoop home, to /tmp and to a directory that does not exist. I am still not getting any errors. It just hangs and never come back.

Nothing in the logs. I am also able to do table-list from sqoop.

The database could be in a deadlock. Also, what version of PostGreSQL are you running? -Abe On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 12:24 PM, Firas Khasawneh <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, When importing from a Postgres database, sqoop hangs and never exists unless I kill it from the command line. Any help regarding this? I am not seeing any errors or log files for sqoop. Thanks, Firas
