Hi Krishnan, If you don't mind please share some details of your use-case.
Sqoop does not yet provide an API for programmatic invocation. It is possible to invoke it directly though but would not be very different from command line invocation. For example you will have to ensure that your classpath and configuration is setup correctly and that you invoke the tool with the correct set of arguments. Output from the tool will be directly written to standard out and you will have to manage System.exit() calls made by Sqoop which could terminate your VM. The issue SQOOP-19 [1] tracks this feature request.
