Description

Currently we have in Sqoop 2 one command line utility sqoop.sh that is user suppose to run with various arguments. As this shell script is not meant to be on the $PATH, we have full path to the script on all documentation pages. This very confusing for downstream consumption, as distributions such as BigTop are not exposing sqoop.sh script directly and user is confused how to apply the instructions in the docs.

I would like to propose top level commands similarly as we currently have in Sqoop 1 and use them in the documentation. This will lead to much cleaner documentation and as a side effect our docs will be applicable to downstream distributions as well.
