Why do we use $CONDITIONS in Apache Sqoop?

Usage of Sqoop:  By default 4 mapper running in sqoop. When we are going to import data and if a table has a primary key then by default 4 mapper otherwise 1 mapper runs. If more than 1 mapper will run then sqoop distributes the data equally among the mappers to get high performance. Number of mappers = Number of part files on the HDFS.
