Venkat Ranganathan commented on SQOOP-949:
------------------------------------------
Hi [~abhijeet_gaikwad]
Good questions. Please see below. Ahmed, others, feel free to
clarify/edit/correct as needed.
1. Yes, it could be termed as an improvement
2. That is something that was true, but with Microsft HDInsight platform,
there is an effort to get Hadoop run natively on Windows. Microsoft Hadoop
platform is something we can download and use from Microsoft. Please see (1).
Regarding running on windows, Ahmed mentioned that there will be patches to run
on Windows with windows command scripts and fix any Windows specific bugs if
any.
3. Unfortunately no. Except for the creation of the documentation we should
be able to build and (with subsequent patches) run Sqoop on windows.
