Yulei Yang commented on SQOOP-3261:
-----------------------------------
Usage: sqoop import -D charset.from= -D charset.to=. As for regular case, no
need to set these two parameters. If you want to convert WE8MSWIN1252 or
US7ASCII to human readable Chinese, set charset.from='ISO-8859-1',
charset.to='GBK'
> Enable charset convert when importing

> Hi,
> I think someone may have the requirement to convert charset of data when
> importing them from RMDBS。In my case, if I do nothing, a table which store
> some Chinese content in oracle with charset WE8MSWIN1252 will be unreadable
> in hive. Yes I know some databases have the function to archive this by
> setting charset in connection url, while some others don't have this function
> or it's inconvenient to use. I have a common way to do this, and we have use
> this solution for several months in our company. Could someone please add me
> to the contributors list?
