Abraham Elmahrek commented on SQOOP-1804:
-----------------------------------------
[~vybs], my perspective on the goals: debug-ability (is it easy to just look up
in the database when debugging), ease of data migration, simplicity of
querying. With that, I have couple of thoughts:
# Providing the generic solution (storing all input types) will make it hard to
reduce the scope later if we would like to.
# Creating a separate table seems like the best solution if we want to support
generic input types. It's very debuggable, requires a join to query, and data
migrations will differ per repository implementation.
# Re-using counters seems like the way to go if we only support integer types
for now (limit the scope). It's very debuggable, can re-use existing counters
code, and migrating from integer to other types is a bit easier than the other
way around.
[~vybs], I feel limiting the scope is a good idea for future supportability
and, eventually, a better compatibility story.
