Aaron Kimball commented on MAPREDUCE-816:
-----------------------------------------
:sigh:, could someone with edit rights please correct the "\-\-" to escape the
dashes with backslashes in the description to avoid the strike-thru?
This patch adds the \-\-direct flag and deprecates \-\-local with a warning.
Would appreciate it if this makes it into the 0.21 release. I ran all the unit
tests (including the mysql ones) on my system and they all pass.
> Rename "local" mysql import to "direct"

> 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.
