Description

The following code snippet will fail when running from Oozie: https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/branch-1.4.5/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/mapreduce/HBaseImportJob.java#L180

// Obtain security token if needed
if ((Boolean)isHBaseSecurityEnabled.invoke(null, conf)) {
   obtainAuthTokenForJob.invoke(user, conf, job);
}

The reason being re-authentication is not possible when running from Oozie. oozie will provide delegation tokens. Sqoop should continue to run if delegation tokens are present.
