Hari Shreedharan commented on SQOOP-1707:
-----------------------------------------
You'd basically need to use a bunch of instance of to figure out if the
"object" is an array or a Text field (for an array, you'd need recursive
validation on each element in the array too). If it is a text field - say you
want it to be UTF-8 only, you'd validate that the entire text can be parsed as
UTF-8 or whatever charset you need.
Unfortunately this is an added overhead due to the loss of type information :(
Also, things have changed a whole lot in Sqoop2 since I last worked on it. So I
am not sure if this is an issue anymore (since an Object is passed around), I
think it still is.
