Description

Currently the error message during an export with --as-sequencefile or --as-avrodatafile or --as-parquetfile is the following:

ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Error parsing arguments for export:
ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Unrecognized argument: --as-avrodatafile

Based on the result of SQOOP-3151 this error message could be more verbose as it is a bit misleading now.
