Error in export sqoop command - mysql

Question

I was using the export command in sqoop and facing this error while exporting from hdfs to MySQL
The command is:
sqoop export
--connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/property
--username root
--password root
--table xyz
--m 1
--export-dir abc.csv
The error is:
16/08/30 23:11:33 WARN tool.BaseSqoopTool: Setting your password on the command-line is insecure. Consider using -P instead.
16/08/30 23:11:34 INFO manager.MySQLManager: Preparing to use a MySQL streaming resultset.

Answer 1

Add mysql-connector.jar in $SQOOP_HOME/lib.
As per Sqoop docs,
You can use Sqoop with any other JDBC-compliant database. First, download the appropriate JDBC driver for the type of database you want to import, and install the .jar file in the $SQOOP_HOME/lib directory on your client machine
Also,
Each driver .jar file also has a specific driver class which defines the entry-point to the driver. For example, MySQL’s Connector/J library has a driver class of com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. Refer to your database vendor-specific documentation to determine the main driver class. This class must be provided as an argument to Sqoop with --driver.
So, add --driver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in your command.
