> 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.
