Description

Hi,

I think someone may have the requirement to convert charset of data when importing them from RMDBS。In my case, if I do nothing, a table which store some Chinese content in oracle with charset WE8MSWIN1252 will be unreadable in hive. Yes I know some databases have the function to archive this by setting charset in connection url, while some others don't have this function or it's inconvenient to use. I have a common way to do this, and we have use this solution for several months in our company. Could someone please add me to the contributors list?
