   > I wonder what quality of write support do you plan to provide ?
   
   Basically, I would like for `ObjectStore` to be the Rust Datafusion 
equivalent of [Arrow C++'s 
FileSystem](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/filesystem/filesystem.h)
 or Python's [fsspec](https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). They 
provide a common interface to various object stores (S3, GCS, ADLS, HDFS, etc.) 
so that various projects implementing readers and writers (such as delta-rs) 
can simply use those filesystems instead of taking on the burden of writing and 
maintaining all those abstractions themselves.
   
   > Production ready implementation of data ingestion can be as large effort 
as having to create another project like Apache Kafka.
   
   This is just the "filesystem" interaction, so just reading and writing bytes 
to various places with a uniform API. Other "writer" related things like file 
formats (parquet / json / csv) would be out of scope. Does that make sense?
