It's not an old method, it's in use. See the synopsis in 
CrawlDbReader.main(). The purpose of this option is to dump the top 
scoring URLs, together with their scores. This is a useful functionality 
to monitor CrawlDb for potential scoring problems.

Yes, we can remove this class - it's equivalent to IdentityReducer, 
which is used implicitly by this job. This class is a leftover from the 
time, when it contained also some filtering code.
