---------------------------------
[~phoenixjiangnan] Thanks! I think this will be a good improvement. We can
define some readfile functions, which are based on the prefix and suffix of
file names and last modified time.
However, is it necessary to expose a generic filter function and let developers
define their own file filters? Do we really have so many different application
scenarios of readfile function? As far as I know, most cases can be covered by
the three functions above.

> support filtering files by modified/created time in
> {{StreamExecutionEnvironment.readFile()}}
> for example, in a source dir with lots of file, we only want to read files
> that is created or modified after a specific time.
> This API can expose a generic filter function of files, and let users define
> filtering rules. Currently Flink only supports filtering files by path.
