> Sqoop is currently using null character (ascii 0, \000) as a default enclose and escape by character ([code|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/lib/DelimiterSet.java#L67]). This makes importing of values that includes null characters quite complicated as they will be on first sight randomly removed.  User do have workaround of specifying {{--input-optionally-enclosed-by "$" --input-escaped-by "$"}} (where {{$}} represents character that is not present in data), but this might be quite tricky if all the characters are allowed in the data.
