    Description

      Several types of imports (incremental, hive, ...) might require import into temporary directory first. We're currently putting the temporary directory into _sqoop and we're allowing user to override it with sqoop.test.import.rootDir. However this property is not documented anywhere and I found people confused about it as it contains the string test which is really confusing. The most concerning thing is that as the properties are not persisted in metastore, this option won't work for stored jobs at all. Hence I would like to propose a first class argument to handle the temporary directory (e.g. something like --temporary-directory).
