Hi James, This has not been tested before - but you could possibly use the --query option to supply your own query that contains the necessary optimization hints. If you find that not working, or limiting in some way - you could also try extending the org.apache.sqoop.manager.MySQLManager implementation to create your own connector that does understand such optimizations.
