------------------------------------------
Hi [~abhijeet_gaikwad]
Sorry - I had an eye appt and had my eyes dilated this afternoon so did not
want to respond with blurry eyes :)
You raise some good questions on getting Sqoop to work on Windows and I think
the patches from [~ahelbaz] would be a good one to review with respect to those.
One of the curious statements I saw above was
bq 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 eq
I am not sure I parse that correctly. As you have mentioned about community
and [~jarcec] did mention about community development and expansion and
hopefully that is the viewpoint of the Sqoop community in general, this effort
is more geared towards community expansion much like supporting many
proprietary databases to work with Sqoop. I don't know what is the
intersection of legal requirement and I am also not sure support for third
party distro support.
I agree we should get this in an umbrella JIRA with sub tasks and decide as a
community where we want to take them
Thanks
Venkat
