---------------------------------------------------------
[~abec] I'm a bit confused with this patch of SQOOP-2282. {{--append}} is not
supported for Hive import. But for text file format, Sqoop will append data to
existing Hive table automatically. So instead of an exception, I think:
1. If target Hive table exists, and user gives {{--append}}, we should do
nothing.
2. If target Hive table exists, and user does not give {{--append}}, then we
show a warning (or info message) to remind user the import job will append data.
