Description

ImportTool#initIncrementalConstraints method is invoked for every import in Sqoop and it can throw the following error even for HBase imports:

--merge-key or --append is required when using --incremental lastmodified and the output directory exists.

The task is to fix the validation not to throw an exception when importing into an HBase table since in that case it does not matter if the table directory exists on HDFS.
