Abhijeet Gaikwad commented on SQOOP-949:
----------------------------------------
It would be really nice to see Sqoop for Windows. HDInsights effort is
commendable.
I believe Porting Sqoop to windows wouldn't be easy. I was thinking of having a
separate branch track this. We may want to fix some bugs in near future before
stability. Have we thought of features like hive and hbase import? We would
need to have hudson integration for windows related builds. It would be a
totally different package that we would be distributing. I think merge can wait
until we decide on distributing stable Sqoop package for Windows.
I would like PMC take the decision on merge via VOTE after we are ready.
I'm sorry this may be a naive or a mean question but do we have any community
obligations with Sqoop being legally tested and supported for a third-party
hadoop distro? Do we need to wait until Apache Hadoop announces native windows
support? I personally don't care.
I agree on umbrella JIRA tracking these changes.
