----------------------------------------------
Summary: Add option for drop-if-exists when using sqoop hcat
import.
Key: SQOOP-2647
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2647
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: hive-integration
Affects Versions: 1.4.6
Reporter: Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque
Assignee: Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque
Priority: Minor
To recover from a failed sqoop import via hcat using --create-hcatalog-table,
there is a manual step needed to clean up the hive table i.e. (DROP TABLE IF
EXISTS <table_name>). It would be great to have another flag
--drop-hcatalog-table-if-exists, which works only if --create-hcatalog-table is
present and the effect would be that it drops the hive/hcatalog table before
running the data import.
