[jira] [Created] (SQOOP-1588) TO-side: Write data to HDFS

Qian Xu created SQOOP-1588:
------------------------------

             Summary: TO-side: Write data to HDFS
                 Key: SQOOP-1588
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1588
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Qian Xu
            Assignee: Qian Xu


Create a basic Kite connector that can write data (i.e. from a jdbc connection) to HDFS. 

The scope is defined as follows:
- Destination: HDFS
- File Format: Avro Parquet and CSV.
- Compression Codec: Use default
- Partitioner Strategy: Not supported
- Column Mapping: Not supported

Exposed Configuration:
- [Link] File Format (Enum)
- [To] Dataset URI (String, has a validation check) 

Workflow:
- Create a link to Kite Connector
- Create a job with valid configuration (see above)
- Start a job
- {{KiteToInitializer}} will check dataset existence 
- Sqoop will create N {{KiteLoader}} instances.
- {{KiteLoader}} will create an Avro schema regarding the FROM-schema (sorry, at runtime). As Schema types are not identical to Avro types, a type mapping will happen in place. Original Sqoop type will be described in the Avro schema, which can be used for reversed type mapping for data export.
- {{KiteLoader}} will create a temporary dataset and writes allocated data records to it. In case of any error, the dataset will be deleted.
- {{KiteToDestroy}} will merge all temporary datasets to be one dataset.

Further features will be implemented in follow-up JIRAs.
