Hey guys, Roadmap [1] for 1.99.5 seems to nearing completion with the exception of a few Jiras (large-ish items). I've seen a lot of activity on features and updates to Sqoop2 recently. For example, Kerberos Authention is about half done [2], PostgreSQL repository is about half done [3], and Kite connector is about half done [4].
How would every one feel about releasing Sqoop 1.99.5 in mid-january? This should give us enough to wrap existing work as well as the remaining features? Also, in order to hit this time frame, someone will need to shepherd Jiras and make sure things get done. If we choose to release in mid-january, are there any volunteers for folks that would like to shepherd the release? 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SQOOP/Sqoop+2+Roadmap 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1525 3. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1523 4. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1529 -Abe
