I'd say rather that Sqoop is in Mapred and the adapter to Hive is in
Hive.
I'm also not convinced how that helps.
Clearly, what you need to arrange is to not have a compile time
dependence on Hive. Clearly we don't want cycles in the dependence
tree, so you need to figure out how to make the adapter for Hive a
plugin rather than a part of the Sqoop core.
