Can SQOOP work with a custom libpath?
<p>I am trying to get some table data imported from PostgreSQL to HDFS using Sqoop. Now due to licensing constraints, Sqoop does not come packaged with JDBC drivers for all JDBC compliant databases. PostgreSQL is one of them. In order to interact with this database, Sqoop needs the relevant JDBC driver to be installed into a preset classpath (typically $SQOOP_HOME/lib).</p>

<p>In my case, the Hadoop administrator does not provide me write access to this predefined classpath. Is there any alternate way to instruct Sqoop client to look into some path (say, my home directory) instead of or in addition to the preset location?</p>

<p>I looked into the official Apache documentation and searched the internet, but could not fetch any answer. Could anyone please help?</p>

<p>Thanks !</p>
