Abraham Elmahrek commented on SQOOP-1378:
-----------------------------------------
I'm noticing that the HBase connector could benefit from its own Schema class.
A couple of more requests with regards to the Schema class:
* Make Schema an abstract class with only methods or interface. ABC preferred
for backwards compat. story I would imagine.
* Create a GenericSchema class that implements the new Schema interface or ABC.
> Sqoop2: From/To: Refactor schema

> Relational database systems, hierarchical databases, etc. tend to have a well
> defined schema. Key-value DBs, BigTable clones, etc. tend to have weakly
> defined schemas. In fact, a key-value datastore may not have any kind of
> schema (other than the fact is is key-value).
> Schemas seem like they are local to the connector and should not be needed by
> the framework. Or, there should be a common Schema format that every
> connector knows how to decipher.
