> There seems to be an issue with column names of "data". 
> I was able to create a table with a column name of "data" via Sqoop but discovered this problem when trying to query the table in the CLI. Any refrence to a column name of "data" throws an error - even when fully qualifying it in a SELECT.
> See below.
> hive> create table test (id int, data string);
> FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:27 mismatched input 'data' expecting Identifier near ',' in column specification
> hive> create table test (id int, st string);  
> OK
> Time taken: 5.778 seconds
