Qian Xu commented on SQOOP-1644:
--------------------------------
[~jarcec] Optional fields and conditional required fields are slightly
different.
For instance:
* {{NumberOfExtractor}} is an optional field. If user does not specify, Sqoop
will use default value for it.
* {{CustomCompressionCodecClass}} is conditional required, when
{{CompressionCodec}} equals {{CUSTOM}}.
Usually when you fill a form, required fields are at least marked with a "*".
This helps user to distinguish a required field and an optional field. I'd vote
for having SQOOP-1061 and SQOOP-1643 both.
