I am using warehouse-dir argument for a reason and not using target-dir in my sqoop job. If Map-reduce task is re-attempted, it throws error given below.
How do I fix this?
Since it is only a re-attempt, it makes no difference if I delete directoy before execution of task.

adding --delete-target-dir will delete the directory if exists already
