Andrew Bayer cc288b6784 SQOOP-126. Support for loading options from file.
This change allows Sqoop to load options from an options file. An
options file is specified using --options-file. All options that
are otherwise specified on the command line should be specified
in this file in the order they would otherwise appear on the command
line. Options files can contain empty lines and comments for
readability. More than one options file may be used for a single
tool invocation if so preferred. Leading and trailing spaces are
ignored unless they appear within single or double quotes. Quoted
options extending into multiple lines are not supported.

= Welcome to Sqoop!

This is the Sqoop (SQL-to-Hadoop) tool. Sqoop allows easy imports and
exports of data sets between databases and HDFS.


== More Documentation

Sqoop ships with additional documentation: a user guide and a manual page.

Asciidoc sources for both of these are in +src/docs/+. Run +ant docs+ to build
the documentation. It will be created in +build/docs/+.

If you got Sqoop in release form, documentation will already be built and
available in the +docs/+ directory.


== Compiling Sqoop

Compiling Sqoop requires the following tools:

* Apache ant (1.7.1)
* Java JDK 1.6

Additionally, building the documentation requires these tools:

* asciidoc
* make
* python 2.5+
* xmlto
* tar
* gzip

To compile Sqoop, run +ant package+. There will be a fully self-hosted build
provided in the +build/sqoop-(version)/+ directory. 

You can build just the jar by running +ant jar+.

See the COMPILING.txt document for for information.

== This is also an Asciidoc file!

* Try running +asciidoc README.txt+
