Everything in package `org.apache.spark.sql.execution` should be internal
to Spark SQL. Technically you can still implement `OutputWriter` outside of
Spark, but there is no guarantee about the stability.
Ideally we should not change any interface if unnecessary, but this change
is reasonable. As an internal interface, it's more efficient to use
`InternalRow` directly, instead of converting `InternalRow` to `Row` and then
operate on `Row`. I'm sorry that this breaks spark-avro, but we can make
spark-avro more efficient by switching to the new interface. Or we can just
copy the previous conversion code to spark-avro, so that we can still covert
`InternalRow` to `Row` and operate on `Row` in spark-avro.
