hadoop - Sqoop import mysql error - communications link failure

I am trying to connect to mysql and import mysql through sqoop.

however, getting communications link failure error.

Here is my configuration file.

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
symbolic-links=0


[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

b) mysql is running fine.

[root@localhost edureka]# sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.56.1/Edureka --table Employee --username root -P --target-dir /sqoopOut1 -m 1;

This is how 'show grants' look like on my sql:

Answer

you should use port number in JDBC connection string:

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.56.1:3306/Edureka --table Employee --username root -P --target-dir /sqoopOut1 -m 1;

further more, you also should use hostname instead for IP.
so if output of command hostname -f is computer.name use this in JDBC connection string:

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://computer.name:3306/Edureka --table Employee --username root -P --target-dir /sqoopOut1 -m 1;
