Description

We happily accept non-existing arguments in the shell which is highly deceptive:

sqoop:000> set server --name x
Server is set successfully
sqoop:000>

or

sqoop:000> show connector --please
...
sqoop:000>

We should throw an exception or something if one is using incorrect/non-existing arguments.
