Mariappan Asokan commented on SQOOP-1272:
-----------------------------------------
Hi Gwen,
Thanks for your comments. For mainframe imports, there are various means to
transfer data. FTP is one of them for which an open source implementation of a
client library is available. Others use proprietary technologies for which
there are no open source client libraries available. The purpose of this Jira
is to provide an implementation using only open source client libraries. That
is the reason why FTP was chosen. I agree, in its current form, the
implementation is no different than importing data from platforms other than
mainframes. However, any future enhancements may make this implementation
specific to mainframes.
