Description
We are not able to provide custom hive CREATE TABLE command while executing sqoop import (from MySql) into Hive using incremental imports feature. Sqoop automatically generate's a Hive script containing a CREATE TABLE operation defining our columns using Hive's types.
Note: By default, Hive tables are created with underlying storage unit as HDFS. To change the underlying storage unit, it is good to pass custom Hive CREATE TABLE command to the Sqoop incremental import command.
