Neha and I just talked through this. The other issue that we discovered is
that the PR has a canned tarball containing geoip data from Maxmind. Since
this is proprietary data we cannot host it in Metron.
We agreed that we just want to cover two use cases:
1. The user wants to download the latest data from MaxMind. This is the
default behavior.
2. The user wants to use data that is hosted at an alternative URL. The
alternative URL could be HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. This might occur when running
Metron on an isolated/secure network or a test environment.
To cover these two use cases, we won't need the
`metron-deployment/roles/mysql_server/files/geodata.tar.xz` tarball.
