Rename "local" mysql import to "direct"
---------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-816
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/sqoop
Reporter: Aaron Kimball
Assignee: Aaron Kimball
Priority: Minor
A mysqldump-based fast path known as "local mode" is used in sqoop when users
pass the argument "--local." The restriction that this only import from
localhost was based on an implementation technique that was later abandoned in
favor of a more general one, which can support remote hosts as well. Thus,
"--local" is a poor name for the flag. "--direct" is more general and more
descriptive. This should be used instead.
