Márton Balassi commented on SQOOP-792:
--------------------------------------
Hey All,
Are there any plans to follow up on this by any chance? The TODOs are still in
the code, e.g. [1]. :)
Importing to Hive would become much more convenient with this feature.
Exchanging a quick mail with [~jarcec] brought up that Hive might require some
transformations of the binary data into a text format (maybe base64) which was
the cause of delaying this feature.
