Trivial Description
This issue is continuation of JIRA ticket SQOOP-463.
I've investigated MySQL JDBC connector behavior in case of columns defined as TINYINT(1). By default MySQL JDBC connector is converting TINYINT(1) into java.sql.Types.BIT, which can be very easily turned off by specifying tinyInt1isBit=false in JDBC path. For example jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?tinyInt1isBit=false. I would suggest to update troubleshooting guide by suggesting users to set this property rather than overriding default sqoop type mapping.
