> Sqoop's current support for passwords involves reading passwords from the
> command line "--password foo", which makes the password visible to other
> users via 'ps'. An invisible-console approach should be taken.
> Related, Sqoop transmits passwords to mysqldump in the same fashion, which is
> also insecure.
