Description

Sqoop doesn't allow to move files from different FileSystems executing an import (--append or --incremental).

Trying to import using a local temp-dir and a S3 target-dir, the operation is complete, however the file is not created in S3 bucket and this warning is raised:
WARN - Cannot append files to target dir; no such directory: sqoop/15151724000000436_31417_localhost.localdomain<tablename>

Looking into on source, I found that AppendUtils.java considers that tempDir and targetDir are at the same Filesystem.
