Description
When a MR job is reading from SnapshotInputFormat, it needs to calculate the splits based on the block locations in order to get best locality. However, this process may take a long time for large snapshots.
In some setup, the computing layer, Spark, Hive or Presto could run out side of HBase cluster. In these scenarios, the block locality doesn't matter. Therefore, it will be great to have an option to skip calculating the block locations for every job. That will super useful for the Hive/Presto/Spark connectors.
