Actually hadoop distcp also has an implementation of a dynamic input format
which in my taste is a bit overcomplicated. So not sure if this Flink tool will
give much benefits in real life (also it's lacking elasticity unlike hadoop
distcp), but can be a good example how one can implement his own input format
for a slightly unusual usecase.
