Description

Sqoop import with credential API from terminal works fine.
sqoop import -Dhadoop.security.credential.provider.path=jceks://hdfs/user/vijay/myPassword.jceks --table myTable -m 1 --target-dir /user/vijay/output --delete-target-dir --username vijay

But the same is not possible with Sqoop Job.
Sqoop Job is unable to detect the credential API.

Sqoop job create commands throws the following exception.
ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Error parsing arguments for import:
ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Unrecognized argument: --password-alias

There are no special instructions in Sqoop User Guide for configuring Hadoop credential API with Sqoop Job.

It looks like an issue with Sqoop Job command.
