CLONE - Problem with NULL values in MySQL export

hive null data is stored as "\N" and during sqoop export, it doesn't consider that the same as "NULL". An example record that contains "NULL" values in a hive table:

805^A537092^A3347387259^A468358^A19^A\N^A700^AD2D^A\N^A\N^A\N^A137.065002^A\N^A\N^A\N^A0^A0^A2010-05-14^A2^A2^A0^AS^A1^A
