When Importing tables from MySQL to what are the precautions that needs to be taken care w.r.t to access?

In MySQL, we need to make sure that we have granted all privileges on the databases, that needs to be accessed, should be given to all users at destination hostname. If Sqoop is being run under localhost and MySQL is also present on the same then we can grant the permissions with below two commands from MySQL shell logged in with ROOT user.

MySQL

$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '%'@'localhost';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ''@'localhost';
