Ahmed El Baz commented on SQOOP-949:
------------------------------------
Thank you Venkat, Abhijeet, and Jarek for the valuable comments.
A few things to clarify:
1) As I mentioned, and Venkat has confirmed. There a few other patches that I
will be sending shortly for review which complete the picture for Sqoop on
Windows.
a) Build Sqoop on Windows (Compile). Which is this one
b) Run Sqoop on Windows (Runtime scripts)
c) Fix unit test issues on Windows (Fixes are all Windows specific).
d) Introdice a Winpkg distro target for Sqoop on Windows (Similar to tar on
Linux)
With every commit, as this one, we make sure that nothing is currently
impacted/destabilized.
2) This patch does not actually reference files that do not exist. It generates
the sqoop-tool scripts. I agree they would not actually work for now if invoked
until Runtime support for Sqoop on Windows is provided, which is coming next.
I agree that making an umbrella Jira with subtasks would provide more context.
I will be creating this one and linking to this Jira.
Thank you again :)
