For a few years now we've had write support for Sequence, Avro and compressed text hidden behind a query option. We haven't really made any progress on turning it into a supported feature, so I'm wondering if we should remove the code and save some overhead of building, testing and code maintenance.
I know I've found it useful once or twice to generate test data but I don't think this is enough to justify maintaining it. It seems like we should get it out of this in-between state - either delete the code or get it to the point where it's supported and tested. If we delete it, it's always possible for someone to resurrect it later. What do people think? - Tim
