While I understand the motivation behind moving on with Sqoop2 based
releases (I was part of the 1.99.2 release) Sqoop 1.99.x is an evolving
preview release and  I think it would make it easier for Sqoop users if
we have both Sqoop2 and Sqoop 1.x available until there is some more
feature parity. It may be a specific situation with Sqoop project alone
with two releases actively being developed.

I would propose this if there is an update.

If this is generally agreeable, it seems straightforward to port the Sqoop 1.4.x based package from Bigtop 0.5 to trunk, perhaps as a new "sqoop1" package.
