Abhijeet Gaikwad commented on SQOOP-949:
----------------------------------------
I'm trying to understand few things here:
1. It doesn't seem like a bug, but an enhancement.
2. As far as I know, the ultimate use of sqoop would be on a linux box with
Hadoop on Linux. If windows I believe currently these things can run only with
Cygwin. Now, why would a developer want to build sqoop on Windows? Getting
windows hadoop up is a work in progress, are we also planning on porting sqoop
to windows? Then this commit would make sense.
3. With this commit, does that mean we can create a sqoop binary distributable
package from a windows machine?
Pardon my ignorance, if any :)
