             Summary: sqoop export of hdfs file with empty lines causes TextExportMapper.map to fail
                 Key: SQOOP-1237
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1237
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: sqoop2-client
    Affects Versions: 1.4.3
            Reporter: Rekha Joshi
            Priority: Minor


When the hdfs file coming from different sources show empty lines, it causes break in sqoop.And the options -input-null-string do not work.
This can be workaround by applying sed -i '/^$/d' <file> on the hdfs file.

However it would be nice TextExportMapper can ignore blank lines., possibly by -ignore_blanks true option

Sqoop: 1.4.3 (cdh 4.3.1)
command: sqoop export -Dmapred.job.queue.name=<queue_name>--connect <connection> --username <username> --password <password> --table <table> --input-fields-terminated-by "|" --input-lines-terminated-by \\n --export-dir <export_dir> --input-null-string '\\N' --input-null-non-string '\\N'
