-Apache Sqoop is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
-Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator Project Management
-Committee.
-
-Incubation is required for all newly accepted projects until a further review
-indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decisions making process
-have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
-
-While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
-stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
-endorsed by the ASF.
-
-For more information about the incubation status of the Sqoop project you can
