Veena Basavaraj commented on SQOOP-1804:
----------------------------------------
1. over optimization at this point, per sqoop installation hard to see this
will become the bottleneck
2. Counters are basically metrics that hadoop exposes, it is not metadata IMO.
{quote}
Metadata is data that describes other data. For instance, the data type, the
dat attributed such as is nullable, is sensitive fall in this category
{quote}
The output referred in this ticket is not metrics, it is infact output from the
current job execution, derived data that we want to store. It is not even
metadata.
Metadata is the hadoop world may mean other things, but I'd be not inclined to
call it metadata because other systems do it.
Having said so,
We can get other people inputs, feel free to ping others that have inputs.
Still not convince the everything is a counter or a meta data.

> At the repository API, add a new API to get job output for a particular
