             Summary: Importing FLOAT from Oracle to Hive results in INTEGER
                 Key: SQOOP-3451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3451
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: codegen, connectors/oracle, hive-integration
    Affects Versions: 1.4.7
            Reporter: Denes Bodo


We ran into an issue where there is a table created in Oracle 11g:
{noformat}
create table floattest (column1 float(30), column2 number(30,-127), column3 
number(30));
{noformat}
We want to import date from Oracle to Hive:
{noformat}
sqoop import -D 
mapred.child.java.opts='-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/../dev/urandom' 
-Dmapreduce.job.queuename=default --connect "jdbc:oracle:thin:@DBHOST:1521/xe" 
--username sqoop --password sqoop --table floattest --hcatalog-database default 
--hcatalog-table floattest --create-hcatalog-table --hcatalog-external-table 
--hcatalog-storage-stanza "stored as orc" -m 1 --columns 
COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3 --verbose
{noformat}
In Sqoop logs we see the following:
{noformat}
19/09/24 13:51:45 INFO manager.SqlManager: Executing SQL statement: SELECT t.*

{noformat}
>From this output we can see that Oracle states about column1 has Type=2 which

>(https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/mapreduce/hcat/SqoopHCatUtilities.java#L1050L1107).
> Due to Oracle uses {{scale=-127}} to sign about a NUMERIC that it is a FLOAT

I think it is the fault of Oracle as it does not use Java Type=6 to sign type 
of a float. What do you think?

Thank you for the details and investigation to [~mbalakrishnan] and Andrew
