Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-1803:
-------------------------------------------
Let make a step back as I think that I'm missing something. We have two
distinct objects here - we do have {{Context}} that are created for given
submission (instance of the job) and are available through the job's workflow
but are not persisted. Then we have configuration objects - the classes that
connector developer exposes for "link"/"job" and that are filled by user. For
purpose of persisting the state we need a way to update the configuration
objects, right? Currently the connector developer is allowed to change only the
{{Context}} and hence my thinking about API that will do the conversion from
{{Context}} to configuration objects. I don't think that purpose is to persist
the {{Context}} itself.

> The goal is to dynamically inject a IncrementalConfig instance into the
> FromJobConfiguration. The current MFromConfig and MToConfig can already hold
> a list of configs, and a strong sentiment was expressed to keep it as a list,
> why not for the first time actually make use of it and group the incremental
> related configs in one config object
> This task will prepare the FromJobConfiguration from the job config data,
> ExtractorContext with the relevant values from the prev job run
> This task will prepare the ToJobConfiguration from the job config data,
> LoaderContext with the relevant values from the prev job run if any
> We will use DistributedCache to get State information from the Extractor and
> Loader out and finally persist it into the sqoop repository depending on
> SQOOP-1804 once the outputcommitter commit is called
