Rakesh Sharma commented on SQOOP-2333:
--------------------------------------
[~jarcec], The support for Tool infrastructure is already there. We have not
made any changes for that . There are lot of people who are already using it.
Within Expedia , we came across a couple of teams who are using this feature of
Sqoop. Even though this feature was already there , there was no documentation
around this. Hence we just added a section for that in developer guide.
Our team was exploring this feature of Sqoop. We had a requirement that we have
our own parameters for the tool. We found that Sqoop supports developing our
own tools and register with Sqoop(found out this from the sqoop-site.xml), but
unfortunately Sqoop doesn't support these tools to have their own options. The
issue(SQOOP-2333) is just about providing support for users defined tools to
have their own options. The change we have done is very small.
We have just added a "member variable of type map to SqoopOptions" which gives
flexibility to add custom options for user defined tools.
I will start a discussion on dev mailing list for the same and if required we
can have a meeting also for the same with important stake holders.
