Hi All, As you probably know we still have dozens of classes in com.cloudera.sqoop packages which most of the cases just extend their corresponding class in org.apache.sqoop package without adding extra functionality. These classes make the code harder to read and navigate, they are already deprecated but because of backward compatibility considerations we were not able to remove them. The community was planning on a release containing breaking changes (we called it 1.5) I think it would be a great candidate to include this cleanup. I have created a ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3273> for doing this task and submitted a patch as well. I think the easiest way to take a look at it is to review the commits in my Sqoop fork: https://github.com/szvasas/sqoop/tree/cloudera_package_removal Note that this is change which basically affects all of the files in the Sqoop project, but in the majority of the cases replacing the com.cloudera.sqoop class to its corresponding org.apache.sqoop class was just a find and replace command so I consider this a relatively low risk change. Please feel free to reply to this email with your questions and concerns and if you have some time please take a look at the changes.
Thanks and regards, Szabolcs
