    Description

      When importing into HBase the toString() method is called on every field via the ToStringPutTransformer class.
      When the field is mapped as a BigDecimal - as it is with number fields in Oracle - this results in inconsistent formats in HBase.
      For example - create the following in Oracle:

      CREATE TABLE employee(id number primary key, test_number number);
      INSERT INTO employee values(1, 0.000001);
      INSERT INTO employee values(2, 0.0000001);
      COMMIT;

      Then run an import:

      sqoop import --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@//HOSTNAME/SERVICE --username USERNAME --table EMPLOYEE --password PASSWORD --hbase-table EMPLOYEE --column-family tst --hbase-create-table

      The value for row 1 is "0.000001" while row 2 is "1E-7".
