Unable to import Oracle table with CLOB column into HDFS using Sqoop

If you encountered the following error while importing Oracle table into HDFS:

Chances are that you are hitting a Sqoop bug: SQOOP-117 At the time of writing, it is not fixed yet, but we can have a very simple workaround for this issue. Simply use –map-column-java option supported by Sqoop, information can be found on official Sqoop User Guide. For example:
$ sqoop import ... --map-column-java id=String,value=Integer
Hope this helps.
