Jerry Chen updated SQOOP-1965:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently, each connector, link or job instances are identified by an numbered
id. (Automatically allocated by increment?)
The id is used everywhere in the shell to refer that object instance. For
example, when creating a Job, link id number are specified as from or to link.
Using of numbered id is simple for the implementation but the numbered id is
very difficult to make reference and hard to remember.
It is a common practice to give a meaningful name to each instance and thus can
be referenced with the name. This can dramatically increase the usability of
the system.
