> When a MR job is reading from SnapshotInputFormat, it needs to calculate the
> splits based on the block locations in order to get best locality. However,
> this process may take a long time for large snapshots.
> In some setup, the computing layer, Spark, Hive or Presto could run out side
> of HBase cluster. In these scenarios, the block locality doesn't matter.
> Therefore, it will be great to have an option to skip calculating the block
> locations for every job. That will super useful for the Hive/Presto/Spark
> connectors.
