@jinmeiliao Region is still required, so this would still not work (there
is a test in my commit that confirms this):
gfsh> export data --member=abc --dir=xxx
Your observation about --dir being able to implicitly mean --parallel is
correct. When I opened this up to the community to discuss, my read of the
conversation was that since non-parallel export/import can work with a
directory, it would be better to have it available to both. In addition, while
we have not added the ability yet to export all regions at once, that is
possible to do and could be added as a feature and would require a directory to
be provided instead of a file, for both parallel and non-parallel export. How
to implement the options was definitely an area of mixed opinions on multiple
options, so still an area worth discussing to make sure we get to the best
solution.
