Review request for Sqoop.


Bugs: SQOOP-1390
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1390


Repository: sqoop-trunk


Description
-------

If you import a table "users". Sqoop will generate an entity class named 
"users.java". The class will be compiled, submitted and used by a mapreduce 
job. If the target file format is Avro or Parquet, an Avro schema will be 
generated as well. According to Avro specification, the entity class is 
described as "record", the name of the "record" is "users".

For Parquet file format handling, we use the Kite SDK to manage Parquet file 
reading and writing with minimal efforts. Kite requires an Avro schema and all 
data records to be packed into GenericRecord instances. There will be a problem 
here. Kite will read the schema first and try to instantiate a record regarding 
its name. In this case, Kite will try to instantiate a "users" class. 
Unfortunately, there is a "users.java" out there. This will cause mapreduce job 
fail. 

The patch proposes to change the "AvroSchemaGenerator" class. Record name will 
have a prefix. In this example, the record name of "users.java" will be changed 
to "sqoop_import_users".
