After an upgrade from CDH 5.0.2 to CDH 5.0.3, Sqoop failed to start with the following error: Server startup failure, Connector registration failed, Upgrade required but not allowed – Connector: generic-jdbc-connector.
To resolve this problem I had to add the following property to the Sqoop 2 Server Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for sqoop.properties. You can find this property under Cloudera Manager, Sqoop Service, Configuration, Sqoop 2 Server Default Group, and Advanced:
org.apache.sqoop.connector.autoupgrade=true
After the upgrade has completed successfully, the property can be removed.
