Thanks for the patch Bilung. The logic of the change is sound but I am 
concerned about backward compatibility.


./src/java/org/apache/sqoop/manager/ConnManager.java
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/3845/#comment11992>

    This change along with the change to toHiveType() and introduction of 
toAvroType() breaks backward compatibility. 


One way to address this would be to keep the old abstract API of ConnManager 
and introduce new, non-abstract methods toJavaType(String columnName, int 
sqlType) which by default ignores the column name and returns 
toJavaType(sqlType). This way, you stay backwards compatible and built in 
connection managers can use the new functionality.

Another way that could possibly address this is by overwriting the 
getColumnTypesForRawQuery(String stmt) in MySQLManager and mapping the YEAR 
type to SMALLINT. Not sure if it will work or not, but is worth exploring.
