Sqoop Codegen Null String

[KayVajj]

Hi,

I have a question with the Sqoop CodeGen. I'm trying to load data from a
DB. I have used the codgen tool to generate the java code. I wanted to
treat the null-strings and null-non-strings as

>
> --null-string '\\N'
> --null-non-string '\\N'


Now the code that is generated looks like (The below code is excerpt from
__loadFromFields)

    __cur_str = __it.next();
>     if (__cur_str.equals("null")) { this.org_id = null; } else {
>       this.org_id = __cur_str;
>     }

I was wondering even with the input options specifically provided it still
treats string "null" as the null string as if I did not provide. Then after
some code browsing, I saw the below code in org.apache.sqoop.orm.ClassWriter

> private void parseNullVal(String javaType, String colName, StringBuilder
> sb) {
>     if (javaType.equals("String")) {
>      sb.append("    if (__cur_str.equals(\""
>          + this.options.getInNullStringValue() + "\")) { this.");
>       sb.append(colName);
>       sb.append(" = null; } else {\n");
>     } else {
>       sb.append("    if (__cur_str.equals(\""
>          + this.options.getInNullNonStringValue());
>       sb.append("\") || __cur_str.length() == 0) { this.");
>       sb.append(colName);
>       sb.append(" = null; } else {\n");
>     }
>   }

This tells me that the loadFromFields will be correct if I set the below
options

> --input-null-string '\\N'
> --input-null-non-string '\\N'

My understanding is these values are to be set only if we are writing to
the DB and not while reading. I'm not writing to the DB yet I ended up
setting both set of options which resulted in the below code in
__loadFromFields

>    __cur_str = __it.next();
>     if (__cur_str.equals("\\N")) { this.org_id = null; } else {
>       this.org_id = __cur_str;
>     }

Is this a bug?

Thanks
