Tom White commented on SQOOP-324:
---------------------------------
The paths that need particular care are
* JDBC Numeric/Decimal (java.math.BigDecimal) -> Avro String -> Hive STRING
* JDBC Date/Time/Timestamp (java.sql.Date,Time,Timestamp) -> Avro long -> Hive
BIGINT
Note that as it stands, these are different to the paths for text, which are
* JDBC Numeric/Decimal (java.math.BigDecimal) -> Hive DOUBLE
* JDBC Date/Time/Timestamp (java.sql.Date,Time,Timestamp) -> Hive STRING
> Allow use of Avro Data Files with Hive import

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-324
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hive-integration
> Reporter: Tom White

> Hive imports are currently text only. With SQOOP-207 and HIVE-895 it will be
> possible to use Avro Data Files for storage, which have advantages over plain
> text, such as supporting compression and a richer set of datatypes.
