Review comment:
       I agreed that it's better to provide a `delete(T row)` method which can 
accept an entire row to write eq-delete file. Because it's possible that have a 
table with (a,b,c,d) columns,  the equality fields are `(a,c)` columns, while 
someone want to write the `(a,b,c,d)` values into eq-delete file. 
   
   The problem is:  how could we project the generic data type `T` to match the 
expected `eqDeleteRowSchema` (so that the eqDeleteWriter could write the 
correct column values) ?   Sounds like we will need to provide an extra 
abstracted method to accomplish that generic projection ?
