Hi Eric, > 1. Are there any plans for an IRC channel #sqoop on freenode?
There is a #sqoop IRC channel on freenode but is not currently used. If there is interest from the community, we can start hanging out there on a regular basis. Maybe we can call a community to vote to see how many people are interested in reviving the channel. > Is this version 1.4.1 known to basically work?

The most recent Sqoop release was 1.4.0-incubating which saw numerous sweeping changes to align the namespace from com.cloudera.sqoop to org.apache.sqoop. As is the case with any release that contains major changes, it is advisable to test out the binaries in your use case in a safe staging/testing area to ensure that it works for you. If you find issues, please file the appropriate JIRAs and we will be happy to assist. Patches are welcome too!
