question Re: SQOOP IMPORT --map-column-hive ignored in Support Questions https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/SQOOP-IMPORT-map-column-hive-ignored/m-p/47131#M45640 <a href="https://community.cloudera.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/13282">@kerjo</a>, I'm seeing the same issue. <UL><LI>CDH 5.8.2 (w/ sqoop 1.4.6)</LI><LI>MariaDB 5.5, or AWS Redshift, or..</LI></UL>Given the following sqoop invocation: <PRE>sqoop \ import \ --map-column-hive LoggedTime=timestamp \ --connect jdbc:mysql://madb-t:3306/Sardata \ --username reader \ --password 'xx' \ --hive-table 'memory' \ --table 'Memory' \ --as-parquetfile \ --target-dir '/user/sardata/mem' \ --hive-overwrite \ --hive-import</PRE> I find that the --map-column-hive option is totally ignored. (It doesn't matter if I set it to LoggedTime=string, LoggedTime=blah, or PurpleMonkeyDishwasher=sdfjsaldkjf. It is ignored.) I noticed tonight that if I avoid Parquet and instead use --as-textfile the --map-column-hive option works correctly. I do not know the reason for this behavior at the moment. And I still need to get the files into Parquet format for Impala to report against. Just wanted to share my observation. Tue, 08 Nov 2016 04:41:03 GMT eriks 2016-11-08T04:41:03Z
