Hi Everyone....
I have been making lots of progress researching the current APIs and how they are being utilized (or intend to be utilized) by our customers. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the pre-built images that are available. Wondering now about the existing types relative to some of the bridges. Is there a documented policy around the various types that exist for the current bridges? I've created my own custom types, which of course opens the door to "anything," but the use case that is most interesting to our current customers is to pull in existing types for the bridges that are already outlined at the incubator pages....... Are the bridges just examples? For example, types such as hive_table or sqoop_process. Are those now "accepted and certified" (for whatever that might mean) for the project? Right now I am just looking to provide guidance to our customers, and I expect that those types probably are quite solid (with the usual caveats, of course, than anything can change at any time) but wondering if there was any formal vetting process for how the types and the bridges they belong to become "accepted". Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
