Description

My biggest qualms was when using the JSON api to post LINK and JOB.

The post data has to meticulously include every single fields of the job config and all it inputs, I cant even by pass the optional ones, since there is some weird checking we do in the code. Yes it is pretty weird that we check that every non required field is in the POST data

    MLink postedLink = links.get(0);
    MLinkConfig linkConfig = ConnectorManager.getInstance()
        .getConnectorConfigurable(postedLink.getConnectorId()).getLinkConfig();
    if (!linkConfig.equals(postedLink.getConnectorLinkConfig())) {
      throw new SqoopException(ServerError.SERVER_0003, "Detected incorrect link config structure");
    }
 

So I should be able to just add values to the config objects once and give that ID in the LINK and JOB creation

NOTE: we do not allow creating configs and inputs from APIs/ command line. It is done via the code classes in the connectors and driver and it will remain so
