Add support for rsync URL in the --rsync option
Converted from bug #1180356:
"
I see https:/
A better way, from the perspective of SST, would be to make innobackupex take rsync:// URLs. (based on
https:/
So, like,
innobackupex --rsync rsync:/
(The xtrabackup SST script can be modified to use rsync:// daemon)

Whiteboard
a) I looked at innobackupex and looks like rsync url can be used directly in $rsync_cmd, only part which needs to be skipped is checking if directory exists and creating components of the directory (which shouldn't be required even with normal rsync in innobackupex).
b) I am not sure how Xtrabackup does internally for local directory v/s stream. Latter won't work with rsync (unless librsync is used to rsyncify the stream), however, for former.
