Qian Xu updated SQOOP-1988:
---------------------------
    Description: 
The {{Matcher.getMatchingData}} method is expected to rearrange record fields 
according to the FROM and TO schema. Currently here is an extra step in the 
implementation, which will reset any {{null}} {{"NULL"}} {{"null"}} 
{{"'null'"}} or {{""}} field to null. 

As there is no comment or documentation about this, I guess it is some 
undocumented special handling. [Read this|

I think this check should not belong here. I propose to remove it. As the 
method will be called very frequently, the code removal will have performance 
advance. Thanks [~jerrychenhf]

There are two questions here:
1. They are CSV relevant. As we do not have a knowledge of what intermediate 
data format is used, why we do the check and convert here. 
2. {{"'null'"}} (double quote and single quote), it is a valid string 
represents single quote null single quote. It will be converted to null. Is 
this expected?

I'd propose to remove it. And it will have performance advance. Thanks
