I'm only encountering this error when I import from mssql windows server 2003. When I import from MYSQL 5.5 to MYSQL 5.6 it does not have any problem. I'm using sqljdbc4.jar for the sql driver.

I also attached the screen shot of the error.

Please help me getting rid this error without mapping timestamp column to string.

To Override the default mapping from SQL type to Hive type for configured columns use --map-column-hive option.

Refer to the documentation here

Unfortunately no but setting the attribute --map-column-hive Date=Timestamp to Sqoop will definitely work

thank you for your fast response @Geoffrey Shelton Okot. I already know that --map-column-hive is used to override the default mapping from SQL type to Hive type. Is there any other way to get rid of that error without using --map-column-hive??
