I believe I saw the commit command in the code, so I do agree that sqoop is 
really doing that.

But I do have more general question - what is wrong on doing commit on 
transaction that did not alter any data? I believe that it's fully valid 
operation and I do not quite see why your security guys are freaking out.

Anyway, if you feel that sqoop shouldn't be doing that, please file a JIRA on 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP.
