Testing the speed of decoding Avro and TSV files
The program creates 10,000 sample users. The sample users are saved in an avro file (data/sample.avro), and tab-separated file (data/sample.tsv), and a gzipped tab-seperated file data/sample.tsv(data/sample.tsv.gz).
The different sample files are then decoded and the metrics are reported.
For the most part, I don't see much of a performance benefit in the decoding process. I really like the type guarantees of avro, but I was hoping there would be more of a performace boost.
