Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-398:
------------------------------------------
Hi Miki,
we've introduced new parameter --map-column-java in version 1.4.0 that you can
use for changing default type mapping to your own - in this case to double.
Usage is simple:
sqoop .... --map-column-java myNumericColumn=Double ...
I'm not feeling comfortable with changing current implementation because it
breaks backward compatibility for users that are fine with the default mapping
to string (even thought that it's really strange).
