Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-1937:
-------------------------------------------
I believe that we've removed the conversions to {{String}} ({{Text}}) in all
cases in SQOOP-1900 and deferred the serialization/deserialization to IDF
itself, so that IDF can serialize data in any format and don't have to do the
conversion to {{String}}. Or am I missing a place where we are forcing the
{{String}} conversion anyway [~vybs]?
> Why need SqoopWritable, ? why not just Text?

> The Text class in hadoop is similar with java String,while Text class
> implemented the Interfaces like Comparable , Writable, Writable Comparable;
> could not this be enough?
