John Todd created SQOOP-2612:
--------------------------------
Summary: Allow rules-based column mapping
Key: SQOOP-2612
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2612
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: codegen, connectors, test, tools
Affects Versions: 1.4.6
Reporter: John Todd
Priority: Minor
Allow users to map source columns to Java and Avro types based on rules rather
than a list.
About half the data types on my current project are NUMERIC, and many of those
have a SCALE of 0. It would be helpful to be able to process those as Integers
or Longs. The map-column-java feature is helpful, but it requires continuous
surveillance of the source tables and maintenance of lists of columns and what
type they should be mapped to.
It would be helpful to be able to create a rules-based interpretation of the
type inference provided by Sqoop.
