Actually looking at this again I do think you should move the
`wholeTextFiles` method to SparkContext, including JavaSparkContext. The reason
is that this type of input is quite common beyond ML. If you do that, you won't
clash with any PRs affecting MLContext either. Just add this InputFormat into
the core module, and move the methods and tests to SparkContext.
