wanghao updated KYLIN-3934:
---------------------------
    Description: 
when column value from jdbc is null, sqoop will write it into hive table with 
blank string.

eg 

jdbc:

A | B

1 | 1

2 | 2

a | null

 

hive table:

A | B

1 | 1

2 | 2

a |

because of this, when I use count(distinct B), it return 3, not 2, and it can 
lead to other problems

 

 
{code:java}
String cmd = String.format(Locale.ROOT,
"%s/bin/sqoop import" + generateSqoopConfigArgString()
+ "--connect \"%s\" --driver %s --username %s --password %s --query \"%s AND 
\\$CONDITIONS\" "
+ "--target-dir %s/%s --split-by %s --boundary-query \"%s\" --null-string '' "
+ "--fields-terminated-by '%s' --num-mappers %d",
sqoopHome, connectionUrl, driverClass, jdbcUser, jdbcPass, selectSql, 
jobWorkingDir, hiveTable,
splitColumn, bquery, filedDelimiter, mapperNum);
{code}
the param '–null=string' should be '
\\N' instead of blank string ''.

I resolved this problem by replace the param. But it needs be configured in 
kylin.properties
