rdblue opened a new pull request #377: Add FindFiles helper API
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/pull/377
 
 
   This adds `FindFiles`, a helper API for working with files in a table. This API is an alternative to building a scan and calling `planFiles`. Using a scan returns `FileScanTask` instead of `DataFile` instances and send a scan notification, which may not be useful when inspecting a table's files.
   
   This is intended to be used for inspecting a table's contents without needing a scan. For example, a merge process could use this API to locate files under a certain size in a partition to merge.
