Description

In documentation is stated that sqoop import-mainframe can import files to formats avro/parquet
When I add the option --as-avrodatafile I receive an "Unrecognized argument" error:

17/05/31 08:25:35 ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Error parsing arguments for import-mainframe:
17/05/31 08:25:35 ERROR tool.BaseSqoopTool: Unrecognized argument: --as-avrodatafile

Also, the help is listing only the -as-textfile option (no avro/parquet options)

   --dataset <Dataset name>                                   Datasets to

So, is this a bug in sqoop application or the documentation is wrong and import as avro/parquet is not supported by sqoop import-mainframe?

Thanks,
