    @kmader  @mateiz this looks really useful! I was about to submit a related PR for an InputFormat that reads and splits large flat binary files into records (of a specified length), rather than read one file per record as here. We find this is the easiest easy way for users to bring large numerical data from existing NumPy / Matlab pipelines into Spark. Here's a [gist](https://gist.github.com/freeman-lab/98d9096695e794391ab9). Would these be compatible? Perhaps analogous to the text case, we could have both byteFile and wholeByteFiles?
