> We ran into an issue where there is a table created in Oracle 11g:
> {noformat}
> create table floattest (column1 float(30), column2 number(30,-127), column3 number(30));
> {noformat}
> We want to import date from Oracle to Hive:
> {noformat}
> sqoop import -D mapred.child.java.opts='-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/../dev/urandom' -Dmapreduce.job.queuename=default --connect "jdbc:oracle:thin:@DBHOST:1521/xe" --username sqoop --password sqoop --table floattest --hcatalog-database default --hcatalog-table floattest --create-hcatalog-table --hcatalog-external-table --hcatalog-storage-stanza "stored as orc" -m 1 --columns COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3 --verbose
> {noformat}
> In Sqoop logs we see the following:
> {noformat}

>         COLUMN1 : [Type : 2,Precision : 30,Scale : -127]
> 19/09/24 13:51:45 INFO hcat.SqoopHCatUtilities: Creating HCatalog table default.floattest for import
> 19/09/24 13:51:45 INFO hcat.SqoopHCatUtilities: HCatalog Create table statement:
> create external table `default`.`floattest` (
>         `column1` decimal(30),
>         `column2` decimal(30),
>         `column3` decimal(30))
> stored as orc
> {noformat}
> From this output we can see that Oracle states about column1 has Type=2 which is NUMERIC (regarding to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/constant-values.html#java.sql.Types.FLOAT). Sqoop translates NUMERIC to DECIMAL (https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/mapreduce/hcat/SqoopHCatUtilities.java#L1050L1107). Due to Oracle uses {{scale=-127}} to sign about a NUMERIC that it is a FLOAT instead of stating {{Type=6}}, Sqoop creates integers (decimal with 0 scale) from NUMBER.
> I think it is the fault of Oracle as it does not use Java Type=6 to sign type of a float. What do you think?

> Thank you for the details and investigation to [~mbalakrishnan] and Andrew Miller
