@yinxusen I'm still confused by the implementation. You want to make the
entire content of a text file as the value returned by smallTextFiles. In the
BatchFileRecordReader, the buffer size is limited by `MAX_BYTES_ALLOCATION`,
and you merge the buffers from the same file in smallTextFiles to assemble the
entire content. Is it necessary to take this approach? How does it differ from
a simple `CombineWholeTextFileInputFormat`?
