> The idea is to add an InputFormat, which can run the mapreduce job over snapshot files directly bypassing hbase server layer. The IF is similar in usage to TableInputFormat, taking a Scan object from the user, but instead of running from an online table, it runs from a table snapshot. We do one split per region in the snapshot, and open an HRegion inside the RecordReader. A RegionScanner is used internally for doing the scan without any HRegionServer bits. 
> Users have been asking and searching for ways to run MR jobs by reading directly from hfiles, so this allows new use cases if reading from stale data is ok:
>  - Take snapshots periodically, and run MR jobs only on snapshots.
>  - Export snapshots to remote hdfs cluster, run the MR jobs at that cluster without HBase cluster.
>  - (Future use case) Combine snapshot data with online hbase data: Scan from yesterday's snapshot, but read today's data from online hbase cluster.
