Matei Zaharia updated MAPREDUCE-816:
------------------------------------
Description: 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. (was: A
