I just got a notification email. Looking at the issue and PR history is
unclear. Looks like the PR was merged but I see comments about the commit being
reverted...?

> It would be nice if the tojson operator supported a "head" concept in order
> to get a sampling of records in an Avro file.
> Allow specifying a maximum record count to display. If no max is given in
> head mode, use a reasonable default (like 10).
