Sqoop and Microsoft SQL Server

By Anonymous
Listen:
From Microsoft's technet:
With SQL Server-Hadoop Connector [1], you import data from:
Tables in SQL Server to delimited text files on HDFS
Tables in SQL Server to SequenceFiles files on HDFS
Tables in SQL Server to tables in Hive*
Queries executed in SQL Server to delimited text files on HDFS
Queries executed in SQL Server to SequenceFiles files on HDFS
Queries executed in SQL Server to tables in Hive* 
With SQL Server-Hadoop Connector, you can export data from:
Delimited text files on HDFS to SQL Server
SequenceFiles on HDFS to SQL Server
Hive Tables* to tables in SQL Server
But before it works you have to setup the connector. First get the MS JDBC driver [2]:
You have just to download the driver, unpack them and copy the driver (sqljdbc4.jar) file to the $SQOOP_HOME/lib/ directory. Now download the connector (.tar.gz) from [1], unpack them and set the MSSQL_CONNECTOR_HOME into that directory. Let's assume you unpack into /usr/sqoop/connector/mssql, do:
# export MSSQL_CONNECTOR_HOME=/usr/sqoop/connector/mssql 

control the export:
# echo $MSSQL_CONNECTOR_HOME
/usr/sqoop/connector/mssql

and run the install.sh in the unpacked directory.
sh ./install.sh

Tip: create a profile.d file:
# cat /etc/profile.d/mssql.sh
export MSSQL_CONNECTOR_HOME=/usr/sqoop/connector/mssql
and chmod into 755

An example:
Sqoop <=> MS SQL Server and hadoop processing works well. Just setup a larger PoC with split the data in 3 maps:
# sqoop import --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://<IP>;username=dbuser;password=dbpasswd;database=<DB>' --table <table> --target-dir /path/to/hdfs/dir --split-by <KEY> -m 3

=> export of 1.3 GB data tooks around one minute. After processing just send back:
# sqoop export --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://<IP>;username=dbuser;password=dbpasswd;database=<DB>' --table=<table> --direct --export-dir /path/from/hdfs/dir

You can do the same operations as you know from oracle or mysql sqoop scripts.

    hi,
    I am trying to import from sql server into HDFS, but I am getting errors as:

    hadoop@ubuntu:~/sqoop-1.1.0/bin$ ./sqoop import --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.230.1;username=xxx;password=xxxxx;database=HadoopTest' --table PersonInfo --target-dir /home/hadoop/hadoop-0.21.0/

    What is the problem I am not getting?
    My Hadoop version : hadoop-0.21.0
    Sqoop version : sqoop-1.1.0

    Pls suggest me solution.
    Thanks.

    The driver is installed and sqoop can find it? The install.sh was running without an error?

    Untar the sqoop to /usr/local/sqoop
    downloaded sqoop-sqlserver connector and copied to connectors folder
    and ran install.sh
    Copied hadoop-core-1.0.3.jar in sqoop lib
    Copied sqoop-sqlserver-1.0.jar,mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-bin.jar in sqoop lib
    Set the environment variables

    MSSQL_CONNECTOR_HOME=/usr/local/sqoop/sqoop-sqlserver-1.0/
    HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop
    SQOOP_CONF_DIR=/usr/local/sqoop/conf
    SQOOP_HOME=/usr/local/sqoop
    HBASE_HOME=/usr/local/hbase-0.92.1/

    @Andy: Follow the instructions here:
    http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/

    After you've got them running, download the latest sqoop release from sqoop.apache.org

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This happens often by using 3rd party frameworks together with Kafka. Additionally, Kafka < 0.9 has no lock at Log.read() at the consumer read level, but has a lock on Log.write(). This can cause a rare race condition, as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. Probably a log entry looks like: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of every consumer in Zookeeper. To read out the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But also zkCli.sh can be used, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9 the only possibility to get this inform

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s
