Qian Xu commented on SQOOP-1581:
--------------------------------

[~jarcec] Your point makes sense. It is simple to make the change. 
Consequentially programmer should implement a 
{{ConnectorToIntializer.getSchema()}} that always returns {{null}}, if {{FROM}} 
schema is expected to be used in {{Loader}}

By the way, the {{FROM}} side extracts data and creates Sqoop objects. How can 
the {{TO}} side loads these objects without knowing its schema. I cannot 
imagine such an use case, that {{Loader}} requires a {{TO}} schema.

> Sqoop2: LoaderContext has the wrong Schema

>           // Using the TO schema since the IDF returns data in TO schema
>           schema = ConfigurationUtils.getConnectorSchema(Direction.TO, conf);

> In some cases, the matcher will use the FROM schema. The loader should 
> provide the FROM schema in this case.
