sqoop eval runs good.

Looks like you dont have any valid ticket , as you clusters is using kerberos . 

Intialize a fresh ticket using KINIT 

please follow the link that would walk through 

https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.99.7/security/AuthenticationAndAuthorization.html

I know this is old post, but for the benefit of others...

I was getting the same error while trying to execute sqoop commands (sqoop list command was working but not exec & show) directly on Edge node and I was able to resolve it by reconnecting to Edge node, it was open for long time may be session got expired.

For some reasons I restricted myself to use edge node not Hue-Oozie.
