Question

I’m using hadoop for processing a large amount of data from the database. I’m using oracle’s jdbc driver to connect to Oracle DB and do the processing. But when i try to execute the hadoop job via bin/hadoop with the packaged JAR file, it’s showing OracleDriver class not found. how do i fix this?

$ bin/hadoop jar ~/hadoop1.jar name.hadoop.Hadoop1 ~/output
