> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Wish

> In most RDBMS it is possible to enter comments/ remarks for table and view
> columns. That way a user can obtain additional information regarding the data
> and how to use it.
> With the avro file format it would be possible to store this information in
> the schema file using the "doc"-tag. At the moment this is, however, left
> blanc.
