-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The patch adds a parameter "\--drop-and-create-hcatalog-table", which is same
as "\--create-hcatalog-table", with an addition that it will do a drop if
exists.

> 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
> Labels: hcatalog, trivial
> Fix For: 1.4.7
>
>
> 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-and-create-hcatalog-table, which works like --create-hcatalog-table
> with an addition of drop if exists before creating the table.
