             Summary: Sqoop2: Is there a better way to represent sensitive values in JSON responses from he server?
                 Key: SQOOP-2591
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2591
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Abraham Fine
            Priority: Minor


Currently, if an input is declared sensitive we leave out the "value" field when building the JSON that represents the input. 

If the input is a map that has sensitive fields (a feature that was added with SQOOP-2549), we replace the values of sensitive fields with an empty string. This could be confusing from the perspective of the user because the actual value of a field could be the empty string. 

It may be clearer to have some placeholder that we use when a value has been redacted due to sensitivity.
