             Summary: Sqoop2: Add ability to "blacklist" connectors
                 Key: SQOOP-2629
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2629
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.99.6
            Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho


We currently have bunch of connectors "in flight" that might not be ready to be 
used but yet we're committing changes to one code base. As those connectors 
might not be ready to be shipped, it would mean that we can't do Sqoop 2 
release at all.

As that is undesirable I would like to propose enhancing Sqoop 2 to allow 
administrator to configure blacklist of connectors that simply won't be loaded 
on start up. We can use this list for each release to mark all "in-flight" 
connectors. Benefit of this is, that we can still ship the code, users can 
still use it and provide feedback, but only if they explicitly enable it (and 
hence know what they are doing).

Another benefit of having ability to blacklist certain connectors is that 
administrator can use that to suppress build-in connectors that are not 
desirable in that particular environment.
