Description:
mysqlpump log-error-file option manages normal progress output as well. The documentation states this option will manage "warnings and errors". 

So either the documentation needs to be updated to reflect the current state, 
or progress outputs should be printed to std out while only warnings and errors are recorded to the file.

How to repeat:
Run mysqlpump with the log-error-file options and you  will not see any progress report on screen.

Suggested fix:
IMHO, warning/errors in a separate file would be helpful for large databases with thousands of progress lines.

Hello Haluk Akin,

Thank you for the report and feedback.

Thanks,
Umesh
