+1. Venkat,
A request if we can incorporate ( Not sure if this is the best way I should bring this up, kindly let me know if there is formal way to propose this in the apache forum). Apache Kafka team has a format for discussing new topics via Kafka Improvement Proposals. This provides the meeting members to read through the topic and its proposals before the hangout/ meeting. Can we also consider doing this? On 6 March 2015 at 22:22, Venkat Ranganathan <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear contributors of the Sqoop community.
