Description

The Export jobs in Sqoop have a mechanism that checks file contents to determine if its of Avro type or etc. regardless of extension, so it makes less sense to then also go forward and silently ignore all files in the export-dir that carry no .avro extension.

Kinda similar to AVRO-1234, except we do not check for file validity in the Avro project's input format or driver levels as we already do in Sqoop.
