Rename Sqoop "local" transfer to "direct"
-----------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-783
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-783
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/sqoop
Reporter: Aaron Kimball
Assignee: Aaron Kimball
Priority: Minor
Sqoop can use tools such as mysqldump to pull from databases instead of JDBC.
This is invoked using the "--local" command line argument. This name is based
on a misunderstanding; these tools typically do offer remote access capability.
Sqoop should pass host and port parameters to underlying tools where
appropriate. Similarly, the "local" mode should be renamed, e.g., to "direct"
mode and use --direct as an argument instead.
