> When using {{sqoop export}} with {{\-\-update-key}} and {{--columns}} the options are incompatible. For example, given table {{T1}}
> {code}
>   +------+
>   | T1   |
>   +------+
>   | id   |
>   | name |
>   | mail |
>   | cell |
>   +-------
> {code}
> When using:
> {code}
> $ sqoop export [ .. ] --update-key id --update-mode allowinsert --columns id,name
> {code}
> the code generation utility creates a Java file which fails to compile.
> This seems to happen because {{ConnManager}} appends all table columns, even those not mentioned on the command-line (see {{ConnManager.configureDbOutputColumns}}). As a result, the generated class contains a {{write}} method which references class members which do not exist.
> I could suggest two possible solutions: 1) either make this case an exception or 2) make the code that appends all remaining table columns optional.
> I may be missing something as that code is there for a reason, but I can't see why?
