Matthias Friedrich commented on CRUNCH-92:
------------------------------------------

To be honest, I've never accessed a relational database from Hadoop. I've 
always exported the data first to make my Hadoop jobs reproducible and to 
prevent DDoS on the database (which isn't a problem with the suggested 
implementation). But I understand that this could be useful to others.

Should we perhaps move this DataBaseSource to crunch-contrib? It is not 
generally applicable because for most Crunch jobs it will be the bottleneck and 
I'm reluctant to add features to crunch-core that don't scale (and can't be 
made scalable). At least we have to mention the limitations in the Javadocs.
