Jingsong Lee commented on FLINK-20174:
--------------------------------------

I'm not sure, we can have a work around way, and the hostnames in the file 
source split are also useful for iceberg (also for LocalityAwareSplitAssigner).

(And I think in Flink, maybe, we don't need combine FileScanTasks, we can keep 
a fine-grained split, then, the iceberg split can extends FileSourceSplit)

> Make BulkFormat more extensible

>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Connectors / FileSystem
>    Affects Versions: 1.12.0

> Right now, BulkFormat has the generic `SpitT` type extending from 
> `FileSourceSplit`. We can make BulkFormat taking the generic `SplitT` type 
> extending from `SourceSplit`. This way, IcebergSourceSplit doesn't have to 
> extend from `FileSourceSplit` and Iceberg source can reuse this BulkFormat 
> interface as [~lzljs3620320] suggested. This allows Iceberg source to take 
> advantages high-performant `ParquetVectorizedInputFormat` provided by Flink.  
> [~sewen] [~lzljs3620320] if you are onboard with the change, I would be happy 
> to submit a PR. Since it is a breaking change, maybe we can only add it to 
> master branch after 1.12 release branch is cut?
> The other related question is the two `createReader` and `restoreReader` 
> APIs. I understand the motivation. I am just wondering if the separation is 
> necessary. if the SplitT has the CheckpointedLocation, the seek operation can 
> be handled internal to `createReader`. We can also define an abstract 
> `FileSourceSplitBase` that adds a `getCheckpointedPosition` API to the 
> `SourceSplit`.
