   <!-- code-pr-reviewer -->
   Thanks for proposing this enhancement. This is indeed a valuable feature 
that would improve flexibility across all file-based connectors.
   
   **Current state**: `AbstractReadStrategy.collectFileNamesByPath()` (lines 
172-177) unconditionally forces recursive directory scanning with no way to 
disable it.
   
   **Proposed path forward**:
   1. Add `recursive_file_scan` to `FileBaseSourceOptions.java` (default `true` 
for backward compatibility)
   2. Update `AbstractReadStrategy.collectFileNamesByPath()` to respect this 
flag
   3. All ~11 file connectors (LocalFile, S3, HDFS, FTP, SFTP, etc.) will 
inherit this behavior automatically
   
   **Example behavior**:
   ```
   /test/file.txt
   /test/subdir/file2.txt
   ```
   With `path = "/test"` and `recursive_file_scan = false`, only `file.txt` 
should be processed.
   
   Do you also need a `max_recursion_depth` parameter, or is the boolean flag 
sufficient?
