Bilung Lee commented on SQOOP-353:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the patch, Alex! Look like your patch includes
(1) Binary type mapping into Hive
(2) Replace the if-else clauses with a case statement.
Since SQOOP-342 introduces a more flexible option to allow mapping into
specific Hive types, I would suggest to use that for (1) instead. Even though,
it is good to use a case statement in (2), and we should keep that still. What
do you think?

> Currently there is no way to import BLOBs,CLOBS or binaries into hive via
> sqoop. We could simply make these a string and warn that it's an inexact type.
