[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-816) Rename "local" mysql import to "direct"

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.
