["Veena Basavaraj (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1547?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14162929#comment-14162929 ] 

Veena Basavaraj commented on SQOOP-1547:
----------------------------------------



The Current connector api requires the developer to create a configuration class for Link/From/ To. One of the requirements that we should be supporting is NullConfigurationClasses in the connector SDK that can be used in use cases where a particular config type is not  relevant, For instance the HttpConnector may not necessarily have a linkConfigurationClass, so they should be able to give a NullConfigurationClass. Similarly a NullConfig class.

Second, we think that the current list of config types ( LINK/ JOB) are sufficient for the Connector and we do not foresee a new type to be required for the Sqoop1 connectors. 

A new type of config may be added, but in that case it could be a new Configurable with a different set of workflow. So it will not be a SqoopConnector, but could be a SqoopFoo. So we think the current Initializer/ Destroyer/Extractor apis solve the uses cases we have for the Sqoop
