To start Sqoop commands (such as sqoop1and sqoop2), Hadoop is imperative. You cannot run sqoop commands without the Hadoop libraries.
Sqoop also works in local mode, so Hadoop daemons are not required to work. To run sqoop in local mode,
sqoop [tool-name] -fs local -jt local [tool-arguments]
Sqoop on Spark is still in the process. See SQOOP-1532
