----------------------------------------
Hope to pick this up, once the semantics of the command line syntax is
provided, happy if someone else wants to take it up
> Naming support for Connector, Link, Job instances

> Key: SQOOP-1965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1965
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sqoop2-api
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Jerry Chen
> Labels: newbie
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> Currently, each connector, link or job instances are identified by an
> numbered id. (Automatically allocated by increment?)
> The id is used everywhere in the shell to refer to the specific object
> instance. For example, when creating a Job, link id number are specified as
> from or to link.
> Using of numbered id is simple for the implementation but the numbered id is
> very difficult to make reference and hard to remember.
> It is a common practice to give a meaningful name to each instance and thus
> can be referenced with the name. This can dramatically increase the usability
> of the system.
