Description

Sqoop's HBase import job incorrectly checks if Hadoop is secured instead of HBase is secured before deciding to add an HBase authtoken,

HBaseImportJob.java

  @Override
  /** Create the target HBase table before running the job. */
  protected void jobSetup(Job job) throws IOException, ImportException {
...
      // Get method isSecurityEnabled
      Method isSecurityEnabled = User.class.getMethod("isSecurityEnabled");
...
      // Obtain security token if needed
      if ((Boolean)isSecurityEnabled.invoke(null)) {
        obtainAuthTokenForJob.invoke(user, conf, job);
      }

which of course fails if Hadoop is secured but HBase is not.
