This seems to be because source MySQL table contains a column name that has an upper case letter.

Sample table below.   The column name, 'A', causes the exception.
{code:sql}
DROP TABLE `SampleTable`;
CREATE TABLE `SampleTable` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `A` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
{code}

Once column name is changed to 'a', it works properly:
{code:sql}
DROP TABLE `SampleTable`;
CREATE TABLE `SampleTable` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `a` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
{code}

This is probably because LCKeyMap (and HCKeyMap) class in SqoopHCatUtilities.java line 160 - 177 are expecting HashMap to call *put* method for each element when *putAll* is invoked, which seem to have been the case in Java 6/7, but it doesn't behave that way in Java 8.

{code:java}
  /**
   * A Map using String as key type that ignores case of its key and stores the
   * key in lower case.
   */
  private static class LCKeyMap<V> extends HashMap<String, V> {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -6751510232323094216L;
    @Override
    public V put(String key, V value) {
      return super.put(key.toLowerCase(), value);
    }
    @Override
    public V get(Object key) {
      return super.get(((String) key).toLowerCase());
    }
  }
{code}
