Viktor Gerdin commented on SQOOP-1174:
--------------------------------------
Is anything being done about this bug? It is quite old and major.
> Do not use null character (\000) as a default enclose and escape by character

> Key: SQOOP-1174
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1174
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.4
> Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
>
> Sqoop is currently using null character (ascii 0, \000) as a default enclose
> and escape by character
> ([code|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/lib/DelimiterSet.java#L67]).
> This makes importing of values that includes null characters quite
> complicated as they will be on first sight randomly removed. User do have
> workaround of specifying {{--input-optionally-enclosed-by "$"
> --input-escaped-by "$"}} (where {{$}} represents character that is not
> present in data), but this might be quite tricky if all the characters are
> allowed in the data.
