Major Description
When importing a table from MySQL into Hive where one of the columns is of datatype TINYINT(1), Sqoop will automatically map this to the Hive datatype boolean. This is because the MySQL JDBC connector maps the TINYINT(1) datatype to java.sql.Types.BIT, which Sqoop by default maps to the Hive type Boolean. Consequently, if you have values such as 1 or 0 in this column, they will fail to parse correctly in Hive, instead appearing as all NULL values.
