---------------------------------------------------------

Since the SDK has moved to the Apache Incubator, it now provides a Runner API and "matching" InputFormats doesn't seem like the "Beam way".
Instead, it seems that a solution in the form of creating an RDD backed by BoundedSource makes more sense.

> The API is discussed in https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/model/sources-and-sinks#creating-sources
> To implement this, we need to add support for com.google.cloud.dataflow.sdk.io.Read in TransformTranslator. This can be done by creating a new SourceInputFormat class that translates from a DF Source to a Hadoop InputFormat. The two concepts are pretty-well aligned since they both have the concept of splits and readers.
> Note that when there's a native HadoopSource in DF, it will need special-casing in the code for Read since we'll be able to use the underlying InputFormat directly.
> This could be tested using XmlSource from the SDK.
