> HADOOP-10607 introduces an API to isolate password Storage from applications.
> This can be used to provide the DB password in a secure fashion to Sqoop
> users.
> The DB passwords can be assigned an alias and stored in a keystore and the
> alias can be provided to Sqoop.
> Option to provide the password on the command line (using --password-alias)
> option can be introduced as well as enhance the secure file option that we
> currently have to provide a new password loader that resolves the alias from
> keystore.
> We need to detect the availability of the Credential Provider feature and use
> it and fail gracefully otherwise
