We'd certainly like it, and would be more than willing to take up the
implementation :). I've filed a ticket here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13356 to track the feature.
Thanks for the response!

I think adding support for multi table scan over snapshots would be a nice

Hi all,
We're looking into using TableSnapshotInputFormat on a salted table, and we
need to push down conditions on the rest of the rowkey to each bucket (using
hive with my patch for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7805).
MultiTableInputFormat allows us to do this on HBase proper, but it seems like
this isn't yet supported on snapshots. There's nothing in either google or JIRA
discussing such a feature afaict, so I thought I'd ask here:
Would it be reasonable for HBase to support an equivalent of
`MultiTableInputFormat` over snapshots? Is there a better alternative that we
should be using instead?
Thanks!
Andrew
