In order to configure Sqoop with required database drivers, please follow the following steps:
- Since the database of our choice is postgresql, please download the postgresql JDBC driver from the following location (the latest driver at the time of authoring this book) from within the VM (CentOS) using the following command:
wget https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-9.4.1212.jre6.jar
- Place the JDBC driver inside ${SQOOP_HOME}/lib folder.
