Abraham Fine commented on SQOOP-2497:
-------------------------------------

the code still needs some cleanup, but it should be functional.

> On internal hackathon we we're hacking Sqoop 2 connector with [~singhashish] and we went through few troubles that we should address.
> We currently require that all properties are properly initialized in object creation - for example check the [LinkConfiguration|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/sqoop2/connector/connector-generic-jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/sqoop/connector/jdbc/configuration/LinkConfiguration.java] constructor from Generic JDBC connector. Otherwise we get "funny" {{NullPointerExceptions}}  in [ConfigUtils|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/sqoop2/common/src/main/java/org/apache/sqoop/model/ConfigUtils.java]. I think that we should simply make {{ConfigUtils}} smart enough to deal with the {{null}} and not force all developers to put unnecessary lines of code.
