Hi @rganeshan-ias ,
Sqoop project currently does not accept pull requests. To contribute, you will need to generate patch and upload it to the JIRA (of course if there's no corresponding JIRA issue, you will also need to create one first).
See the instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SQOOP/How+to+Contribute
If you need more directions, I'd be happy to help!
