Hi Chalcy,
I'm afraid that there isn't a way how to achieve deletes from withing Sqoop.

Just a quick question. It seems to me that you're trying to import data to 
HDFS, do some transformations and put the data back to your database (using 
updates, inserts and deletes). In case that I do understand your use case 
correctly, I would propose to truncate the table after your input and use 
simple export to load updated data. I believe that such approach will be faster 
than selective inserts, updates and deletes.
