Description

A sorta popular user error is to specify the command part of the sqoop action in the style of the CLI: "sqoop import …" instead of just the required "import …". This causes the Sqoop action to predictably fail with:

No such sqoop tool: sqoop. See 'sqoop help'.
Intercepting System.exit(1)

A simple enhancement can prevent this burden on user. We can skip the first command token if its "sqoop".
