    Description

      Currently, the table name (set by --table) has to be the same as the target dir (set by --target-dir) for hive import. But it would be nice if the target dir could be set to a different name than the table name.

      For example, we like to be able to run something like:

      sqoop import ... --table "foo" --target-dir "foo1" --hive-import
      sqoop import ... --table "foo" --target-dir "foo2" --hive-import
      

      Now this generates the following call stack:

      12/05/02 17:11:55 INFO hive.HiveImport: FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Line 2:17 Invalid path 'hdfs://localhost/user/cheolsoo/foo': No files matching path hdfs://localhost/user/cheolsoo/foo
