Veena Basavaraj commented on SQOOP-1988:
----------------------------------------
The discussion https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1811 referred to in
the ticket description has no relevance to the code written in schema matching,
schema matching code was written before the IDF API discussion happened in
JIRA< so I am finding it hard to co-relate the two:)
> Sqoop2: isNull handling should be moved to CSVIntermediateDataFormat

> The {{Matcher.getMatchingData}} method is expected to rearrange record fields
> according to the FROM and TO schema. Currently here is an extra step in the
> implementation, which will reset any {{null}} {{"NULL"}} {{"null"}}
> {{"'null'"}} or {{""}} field to null.
> As there is no comment or documentation about this, I guess it is some
> undocumented special handling. [Here is some
> discussion|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1811?focusedCommentId=14270755&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14270755].
> I think this check should not belong here. I propose to remove it. As the
> method will be called very frequently, the code removal will have performance
> advance. Thanks [~jerrychenhf]
