Update hive schema

Is there a way to update the schema of an already sqoop imported hive table?

Lets say if i setup a job to constantly import mysql tables into hive. When
a new column is added to mysql, it should get automatically reflected in
hive. So, if i use --hive-import is it possible to overwrite the hive
schema on update in source?

Thanks,
Pratik
