Joey Echeverria updated SQOOP-319:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: SQOOP-319-1.patch

I added a new option, --hive-delims-replacement, which lets you pass in a replacement string. I did it with a new option to remain backwards compatible with the existing interface. I added a test for the new option.

> When importing data into hive, you have the option of dropping the hive delimiters in data fields. It would be more useful to replace the delimiters with a user defined string. Often times the dropped delimiters (like \n) are separating words. If I want to split on white space in my hive queries, I'll now get two words merged together. A more desirable behavior would be to replace it with a space. Making it user configurable will give the most flexibility.
