Description
Hello, I need to read numpy files, so I found there is NumpyReader who does it.
The problem is that NumpyReader doesnt have file_list argument.
My dataset is not in the folder structure the DALI likes: "file_root directory should contain directories with numpy files in them."
It is not possible for me to change the dataset structure.
Why doesn't NumpyReader have file_list argument? The same goes for SequenceReader.
What workaround can I do here?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the NumpyReader and SequenceReader entry points and reviewing how they discover input files under the current file_root layout. Determine how a file_list option would fit both readers, then add coverage for datasets that do not match the required directory structure and verify the documented workaround or new behavior.
