Description

currently if you want to use a different path for HADOOP_HOME than expected you have to specify --hadoop-home or export HADOOP_HOME env var.

We could add sqoop-env.sh and source it in bin/configure-sqoop so the users can actually set the variables in conf rather than having to do it every time sqoop is invoked.
