truncate before export

Hi,

Currently Sqoop export only inserts new data into RDBMS, but sometimes it
is necessary to replace the entire table. To accomplish that a developer
has to have an extra step and truncate the table before executing Sqoop.

I wonder if it has been considered by Sqoop developers to add TRUNCATE
option to Sqoop export?

Regards,
