Description

Running 'sqoop import' with the --incremental option fails if the --target-dir option points to a directory that is not in fs.default.name. In my case I was writing to s3 on a machine not configured so default fs was file:///.

When running I received this error:
ERROR sqoop.Sqoop: Got exception running Sqoop: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong FS: s3://mybucket/mydirectory, expected: file:///
