Description

Flink-hbase connector only supports reading/scanning HBase over region server scanner, there is also snapshot scanning solution, just like Hadoop provides 2 ways to scan HBase, one is TableInputFormat, the other is TableSnapshotInputFormat, so it would be great if flink supports both solutions to ensure more wider usage scope and provide alternatives for users.
