Abraham Elmahrek commented on SQOOP-1804:
-----------------------------------------
[~vybs], in this case, I'd like to limit the scope of the supported input
types. Integers are very easy to support since there's an inherent order, but
the ordering principal of other datatypes is not as clear. Also, I think this
feature is intended to produce a similar feature set to Sqoop1, which is
limited to numeric data types.
The actual storage and representation is not a major concern, except for the
points I've stated previously. Essentially, if we choose to be close to Sqoop1,
then it can affect the how we choose to store the data.
