Where is the sqoop library directory?

Question

To install the MySQL connector in Sqoop I need to put the jar file in the Sqoop directory but I cannot find it (it is not in /usr/lib/sqoop). I installed Sqoop with Cloudera on multiple machines.

Where can I find the Sqoop directory on one of the machines?

Are you using Ubuntu ? In this case it may be a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/something... (check with ls -la)

Great! Thanks. Indeed, I finally manage to trace the sqoop lib: ls -la /usr/bin/sqoop pointed me to /etc/alternatives/sqoop, then ls -la /etc/alternatives/sqoop all the way to /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.2.0-1.cdh4.2.0.p0.10/bin/sqoop. My libs were in /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.2.0-1.cdh4.2.0.p0.10/lib/sqoop – Ias

And the full location for CDH5.1.2 is /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.1.2-1.cdh5.1.2.p0.3/lib/sqoop/lib – Kilpatrick
