Generate Json Lines #518

Json Lines format can be a valuable format to generate data for. See http://jsonlines.org/ for a description

Interesting, I've never heard of this before. But judging from the github repo for the site & the fact that it's 6 years old, it really doesn't seem that popular. https://github.com/wardi/jsonlines

I'm trying to sort out exactly how to better handle plugins for generatedata for more unique things like this that may have limited use (custom data types for specific countries, custom export types like LDIF). So it may get added, but not yet.

Ok. Thanks. Actually we use this format sometimes for platform where processing json documents is not possible. Hadoop input format comes to mind. This is one way to handle json records to be processed for a MapReduce job.

Do you have a list of features for v4 I can take a look at?
