title: Special characters are not proper after sqooping data into Hive from teradata
body: <p>I'm trying to sqoop the teradata table into Hive using below "sqoop-import" command.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sqoop tdimport
      -Dtdch.output.hdfs.avro.schema.file=/tmp/data/country.avsc --connect jdbc:teradata://tdserver/database=SALES  --username tduser
      --password tdpw --as-avrodatafile --target-dir  /tmp/data/country_avro --table COUNTRY
      --split-by SALESCOUNTRYCODE  --num-mappers 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The teradata table contains special characters in some columns.After sqooping into Hive, the special characters are not coming proper.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to enable the special characters while firing the sqoop import command?</p>
  
  <p>Do we need to use UTF-8, to resolve this issue ?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please suggest me regarding this issue ...</p>
