Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque updated SQOOP-2647:
-------------------------------------------
    Description: To recover from a failed sqoop import via hcat using --create-hcatalog-table, there is a manual step needed to clean up the hive table i.e. (DROP TABLE IF EXISTS <table_name>). It would be great to have another flag --drop-and-create-hcatalog-table, which works like --create-hcatalog-table with an addition of drop if exists before creating the table.  (was: To recover from a failed sqoop import via hcat using --create-hcatalog-table, there is a manual step needed to clean up the hive table i.e. (DROP TABLE IF EXISTS <table_name>). It would be great to have another flag --drop-hcatalog-table-if-exists, which works only if --create-hcatalog-table is present and the effect would be that it drops the hive/hcatalog table before running the data import.)
