Gwen Shapira commented on SQOOP-2252:
-------------------------------------
Thats a good point, I've ran into similar issue myself.
Are you planning on attempting to provide a patch?
Also, do you think we should set the schema with default of null only in cases
where the original DB has "nullable" fields, or for every field (even if its
"non-null" in the original)?
> Add default to Avro Schema

> Key: SQOOP-2252
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2252
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 1.4.5
> Reporter: Andrew Stevenson
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently no default value is set on the avro schemas. Setting a default
> value is required for schema evolution.
> I currently have to rewrite the schema to be a union on [null: type] rather
> than [type:nulll] and add null as a default in other to update kite datasets.
