Sqoop import failed, UnsupportedClassVersionError

I was trying to import table from MySQL to HDFS using sqoop. The commandline used is,

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.452/qw_key_test --username qw -P --split-by qw_id -m 10 --target-dir /user/perf/qwperf/sqoops --verbose --table qw_perf_store_key

The mappers fails with Unsupported version as show below.

Any Idea? Using CentOS 6.2, CDH4 JDK7_21, sqoop: Sqoop 1.4.1-cdh4.1.3 (git commit id 0ff32b245c1d4c75e9f034414ebd8cfcdd140e7e)

回答1:

The major.minor version 51.0 represents JDK 1.7 which also confirms what you stated. It appears that, the JDK 1.7 is not compatible with Sqoop version 1.4.1-cdh4.1.3. Per this supported JDK requirements for CDH4, JDK 1.7 is supported on CDH 4.2 and later versions.

Install and set the JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.6 using the Oracle JDK Installation and then run the sqoop.

回答2:

I've seen this issue when Sqoop was running on JDK7 whereas the Hadoop cluster was on JDK6. Do make sure that all your java applications are using the same major JDK version and you should be fine.

I changes $JAVA_HOME to j2sdk1.6-oracle which Cloudera Manager installed by default. Then I exported the PATH variable to include the bin and it worked.
