To allow strings as delimiters, we need `FieldPareser` accepts string
delimiter, which is similar to allow strings as field delimiter in
`CsvInputFormat`.
[Flink-1168](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1168?jql=project%20%3D%20FLINK)
also has this proposal.
> Add an input format to read primitive types directly (not through tuples)

> Key: FLINK-933
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-933
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Mingliang Qi
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix, features, starter
>
> Right now, reading primitive types goes either through custom formats (work
> intensive), or through CSV inputs. The latter return tuples.
> To read a sequence of primitives, you need to go though Tuple1, which is
> clumsy.
> I would suggest to add an input format to read primitive types line wise (or
> otherwise delimited), and also add a method to the environment for that.
