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
