Thanks for working on this! I think this will be a really useful addition.
However, with the new external data sources api that is part of 1.2, I think
it might be better to do this as an external library (for example:
https://github.com/databricks/spark-avro). This would make it easier to make
releases, and also help us keep spark core's size manageable. If you agree,
maybe we can close this issue? Let me know if you have any questions.
