Description

SQOOP-1836 introduced a new method getColumnsArray. As the class Schema is used very often, the idea is to provide a constant (better) lookup time for particular column. But I think the implementation will create array from a list for every call, it will be even slower than accessing the original getColumnsList in some cases. I think we can change the type of columns from LinkedList to ArrayList, which is included in SQOOP-1969. The jira proposes to remove getColumnsArray.
