> More details will be added .
> CSV is  a bare bones data representation format that SQOOP uses to translate the FROM to the TO data source.
> AVRO has a well defined schema and hence might be more convenient to represent and map the FROM and TO data types in AVRO.
> Even a simple JSON IDF implementation would be nice to have for IDF. Not sure if this is any better than CSV
