Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-92:
------------------------------------

I can definitely see that this would be useful.

The empty readFields and writeFields methods in JdbcWritable seem very 
dangerous -- there's nothing that stops someone from using objects of that type 
as a Writable, and the pipeline will (probably) run without any errors, and 
just give totally incorrect results.

I think it would be best if there is some kind of compile-time safety to force 
users to write the mapping code from ResultSet to a Writable type. Another 
option would be to try to integrate Sqoop, although I'm not sure what that 
would involve.
