Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-2333:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for the patch [~raksharma]! Sqoop is a tool designed to import/export data from relational databases to hadoop and back again. Even though that we're re-using the Tool infrastructure from Hadoop, I don't think that we ever planned for it to be a first class citizen that is exposed to end users. Having said that Sqoop is developing and nothing is set in stone forever. But since this is a quite huge change of the current direction, might I suggest to start a discussion on dev mailing list?

> Sqoop currently does not provide any mechanism to define custom switches for the user defined tools. it would be nice if we can enhance Sqoop to support user defined Custom Tool options.
