             Summary: Scoop and support for external Hive tables
                 Key: SQOOP-816
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-816
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hive-integration
            Reporter: Santosh Achhra
            Priority: Minor


Sqoop is not supporting HIVE external tables at the moment. Any imports using scoop creates a managed table, in real world scenario it is very important to have EXTERNAL tables. As of now we have to execute ALTER statement to change table properties to make the the table as external table which is not a big deal but it would nice have an option in scoop to specify type of table which is required
