Hi Ganesh,
Sqoop is using DB2 JDBC connector to talk with DB2 running on mainframes. The 
data unpacking is actually done by the JDBC Connector itself as otherwise the 
connector would not be compliant with the JDBC specification. Sqoop is taking 
advantage of that to transfer your data into HDFS unpacked.
