Copy and untar sqoop-1.99.1-bin-hadoop100.tar.gz

Since default port 8080 is running my mongo Query. The listener ports are changed 

Go to /home/hadoop/sqoop-1.99.1-bin-hadoop100
[list]cd server/conf
vi server.xml
Change tomcat's default port to some other values.
[hadoop@someHost-n2 conf]$ diff server.xml server.xml.old

vi $SQOOPBASE/server/conf/sqoop.properties
[hadoop@someHost-n2 conf]$ diff sqoop.properties sqoop.properties.old  Change the following.

< org.apache.sqoop.submission.engine.mapreduce.configuration.directory=/home/hadoop/hadoop-1.0.4/conf
---
> org.apache.sqoop.submission.engine.mapreduce.configuration.directory=/etc/hadoop/conf/
