Hey Eric, For the first shot I do understand you motivation here, and also attached some comments/requests around the implementation. Although I'm a bit concerned about the big picture as well B/C I do feel in the current form it would be a breaking change. E.g. Still so far we'd created tables in hive with double columns, but after applying the change all of these imports + tables would contain DECIMAL values. Wouldn't this change confuse the end users? (for me it would be very much unexpected especially after a version upgrade!) Questions on my side: Am I right your change would only effect Sqoop imports when the import ends up in creating a new Hive table? Wouldn't this cause problems on the end user side (e.g. in case of big incremental data ingest cases with many tables)? What will happen with the jobs inserting data into an already existing Hive table? Have you tested that scenario as well? Although your change seems to be much more type/Hive agnostic, shouldn't we introduce a fallback scenario for the users (e.g. turning off the Decimal->Decimal mapping with an option). Or should we just advise the explicit type mapping for the users in this case? Thanks for your answers, Attila src/java/org/apache/sqoop/hive/TableDefWriter.java Lines 126-130 (patched) <https://reviews.apache.org/r/57551/#comment241796> Why do we add "null" values to a typed Integer list here? It looks like a bit wired for the first shot, and could be the source of unexpected NPE. Could you please provide some more information here? src/java/org/apache/sqoop/hive/TableDefWriter.java Lines 142-145 (patched) <https://reviews.apache.org/r/57551/#comment241798> We should not depend on null references. Please use rather and empty list and check if it is still empty after the retrieval of the columnInfo. src/java/org/apache/sqoop/hive/TableDefWriter.java Lines 192-200 (patched) <https://reviews.apache.org/r/57551/#comment241799> I'm quite confused here as well according to the null values (especially because if we'd put null values into the position 1 and 2 in the code befor, then it will just assign null to the variables which hold null values already). Could you please provide more highlight here? src/java/org/apache/sqoop/hive/TableDefWriter.java Lines 210-221 (patched) <https://reviews.apache.org/r/57551/#comment241795> Although this is a good to know / nice catch thingy, at least we do need some log statements here (e.g. with info/debug level). We should not do anything like this silently! Please introduce logging statement(s) with the required level of information! - Attila Szabo On March 20, 2017, 8:54 a.m., Eric Lin wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
