Description

Avro import using --as-avrodatafile and SequenceFile import using --as-sequencefile are not compatible with --hive-import, which is correctly documented in our user guide, however doing such import won't fail resulting in non-readable data on Hive side. I think that we should add parameter check to die quickly. At least before we will make those two data formats compatible with Hive.
