Description

The Sqoop action currently assumes that it will always launch an MR job, so if it doesn't (which happens when eval is used), then even if the actual action succeeds, Oozie will run into an IllegalArgumentException trying to parse an empty string as a Hadoop job id. The error is mentioned in the Oozie log, but there is no stack trace.

You get this confusing output when querying for the action:

oozie job -info 0000002-130710121740870-oozie-oozi-W@eval
