Hm, I don't think this is true.  You will need some understanding of what a 
historical dataset is, but that's all.  The historical datasets are going to be 
made up of many revisions of the same schema.  January may have data validated 
with schema revision 1, and February with schema revision 2.  If you don't know 
which exact schema-revision an event was validated with, you will have a hard 
time reasoning about what the data looks like.  This will be especially true if 
we are attempting to do Avro conversion.
