> FileBasedReader should be able to open the file with the Source.getStartOffset(), and then read forward to find the first input element.
> The benefits are:
> 1. It is easier to implement a ReadableByteChannel.
> 2. Dynamically splitting won't require file systems to support seeking.
> 3. Doesn't need to seek to position twice, which is what current API does.
