    Description

      This sqoop import:

      sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://some.merck.com:1234/dbname --username XXX --password YYY --table some_table --hcatalog-database some_database --hcatalog-table some_table --hive-partition-key mg_version --hive-partition-value 2015-05-28-13-18 -m 1 --verbose --fetch-size -2147483648
      

      fails with with this error:

      2015-06-01 13:20:39,209 WARN [main] org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild: Exception running child : java.lang.NullPointerException

      It seems that the error is caused by a column name containing a hyphen ('-'). Column names are converted to java identifiers but later this converted name could not be found in HCatalog schema.
