Hey guys, I am working on a connector which connects to a sharded mysql cluster as the source. I built out the connector jar with its sqoopconnector.properties.
And I tried to make sqoop pick up the jar a couple of ways 1) Add the path to the jar in "common.loader" property in catalina.properties: This gives a NoClassDefFound on the SqoopConnector.class since it is probably in tomcat's system loader, which may be referenceable by external libs. 2) Randomly placing the connector jar in shared/server loader, which also did not work. Wound up adding the connector as a dependency in sqoop-server's pom and it worked. (sort of validates the theory in 1) I am probably a tomcat noob, so please let me know if there is a cleaner way to do this or supported documentation .. Or if this is an open issue, happy to work on a patch.. Thanks Vinoth
