[jira] [Commented] (SQOOP-398) Sqoop to avro saves NUMERIC as
strings
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13162480#comment-13162480 ]
Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-398:
------------------------------------------
Hi Miki,
we've introduced new parameter --map-column-java in version 1.4.0 that you can use for changing default type mapping to your own - in this case to double. Usage is simple:
sqoop .... --map-column-java myNumericColumn=Double ...
I'm not feeling comfortable with changing current implementation because it breaks backward compatibility for users that are fine with the default mapping to string (even thought that it's really strange).
