Lars Francke commented on SQOOP-429:
------------------------------------
Excellent, thanks for taking a look at it. Are you working on it? Otherwise I'd
try to (we need this :) ) but I'd have some understanding to do first.
> Avro support doesn't take Java reserved words into account

> Key: SQOOP-429
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-429
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0-incubating
> Reporter: Lars Francke
> Attachments: SQOOP-429.patch
>
>
> We have a table with a column named {{class}} which Sqoops renames to
> {{_class}} internally. That's working great until it comes to the Avro
> support.
> The generated Avro schema has a field called {{class}} as well but in
> {{AvroImportMapper#toGenericRecord}} the {{SqoopRecord#getFieldMap}} method
> is called which returns the changed column name. This leads to a
> {{NullPointerException}} in {{GenericData$Record#put}} because it tries to
> find the wrong field.
> I'm far from understanding Sqoops internals but it seems like there are two
> solutions: Either change the generated Avro Schema (which would probably be
> an easy but annoying fix) or somehow check if a field from the SqoopRecord
> was renamed due to a reserved word and then rename it back here. I'd love to
> provide a patch for this as we need this to work but I don't know which way's
> preferred and I would need to do a bit of digging.
