> It would be more user-friendly, especially for newbies, to provides methods
> on {{From}} for creating sources from multiple {{Path}}s. I'm currently
> attempting to write my first Crunch Pipeline, which needs to read from
> multiple paths using a custom input format, and I needed to dig into the
> source for {{From.formattedFile}} to see I need to do something like this
> {code}
> PTableType<K, V> tableType = keyType.getFamily().tableOf(keyType, valueType);
> return new FileTableSourceImpl<K, V>(paths, tableType, formatClass);
> {code}
> I don't particularly mind, but other potential new users might be a bit put
> off by having to look at the source on the first line of their first
> pipeline. If it's undesirable to double the number of methods in {{From}} by
> doing this (which is understandable), it might be nice to add some note on
> multiple input paths to the section of the users guide on {{Source}}s.
> Thanks!
