> 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.
