Sqoop HBase导入：java.lang.NoSuchMethodError：org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTableDescriptor.addFamily

Question

I'm running Hadoop as a pseudo distributed cluster on Ubuntu 14.04. I've installed HBase as well and everything works fine. Now I want to import data from my local MySql Server to HBase using the "import" command from Sqoop

• Hadoop Version: 2.7.3
• HBase Version: 1.2.4
• Sqoop Version: 1.4.6 (Hadoop 2.0.4-alpha)

Hadoop and HBase are working fine without problems, but running the command

./sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/company --table people --username mysqluser -P --hbase-table people_import --column-family peoplecf --hbase-create-table

results in the following error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTableDescriptor.addFamily(Lorg/apache/hadoop/hbase/HColumnDescriptor;)V

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

Sqoop does not support the latest versions of Hbase yet. The latest of Sqoop is compatible with versions of Hbase <= 0.95.2, there is an open issue (SQOOP-2759) for this hbase-sqoop integration.
