Description

The current Export mechanism in Sqoop does not support globs in its input directory parameter. As a result, it considers wildcards as a path component and upon the logical failure of its lookup, it assumes the input format is unknown, and proceeds with using a Text based processor instead of the actual type (such as avro).
