Gwen Shapira commented on SQOOP-1706:
-------------------------------------
Wiki is a bit of an issue as one source of truth.
The connector developer .rst is versioned, so if I download Sqoop 1.99.4, I get
instructions on how to write connectors for this specific version.
The wiki may change between versions, so if the wiki says to call
"IDF.getCSVData", it won't work with certain versions and it will become really
confusing to specify which is which.
Kafka has this issue with the protocol documentation - which has a certain
version of the wire protocol, which may or may not match what is running on
your servers.

> Since there can be multiple implementation of the IDF and connectors can
> chose to use a their specific implementation for IDF, document this as a
> PUBLIC apis
> Schema is part of the IDF interface and it is important to explain the
> different column types we support and how in one of the implementations we
> has certain assumptions for parsing from string to obejct
