Unable to import data from MySql using Sqoop with different delimiter - hadoop

Question

As a beginner in Hadoop field, i was trying my hands on Sqoop tool (Version : Sqoop 1.4.6-cdh5.8.0).
Though i referred to various sites and forums but i could not get workable solution where in i could import data using any other delimiter other than ,.
PFB the code that i have used :
--- Connecting to MySql, creating table and records with , in string.
mysql> create database GRHadoop;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use GRHadoop;
Database changed
mysql> Create table sitecustomer(Customerid int(10), Customername varchar(100),Productid int(4),Salary int(20));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.22 sec)
mysql> Insert into sitecustomer values(1,'Sohail',100,50000),(2,'Reshma',200,80000),(3,'Tom',200,60000);
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.06 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> Insert into sitecustomer values(4,'Su,kama',300,50000),(5,'Ram,bha',100,80000),(6,'Suz',200,60000);
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
Sqoop Command :
sqoop import \
--connect jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/GRHadoop \
--username root \
--password cloudera \
--table sitecustomer \
--input-fields-terminated-by '|' \
--lines-terminated-by "\n" \
--target-dir /user/cloudera/GR/Sqoop/sitecustomer_data \
--m 1;
Expected Output :
1|Sohail|100|50000
2|Reshma|200|80000
3|Tom|200|60000
4|Su,kama|300|50000
5|Ram,bha|100|80000
6|Suz|200|60000
Actual output :
1,Sohail,100,50000
2,Reshma,200,80000
3,Tom,200,60000
4,Su,kama,300,50000
5,Ram,bha,100,80000
6,Suz,200,60000
Please guide where i am getting it wrong.

The --input-fields-terminated-by argument is to tell Sqoop how to parse the input files during export. You should be using --fields-terminated-by, this argument controls how the output is formatted.
sqoop import \
--connect jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/GRHadoop \
--username root \
--password cloudera \
--table sitecustomer \
--fields-terminated-by '|' \
--lines-terminated-by "\n" \
--target-dir /user/cloudera/GR/Sqoop/sitecustomer_data \
--m 1;
