AvroDataFiles are binary Avro files (see https://avro.apache.org/) that encode
SimpleFeatures using a custom avro schema per SimpleFeatureType. AvroDataFiles
are meant to:
1. Provide binary longer-term storage in filesystems for SimpleFeatures
2. Carry the SimpleFeatureType and feature name along with the data
using avro metadata
3. Be self-describing outside of Geotools as much as possible
You may want to consider gzipping your avro data file for better compression
