Description

It is too difficult to write examples that print record batches and it would be good to have a utility method to print a batch or to get rows from a batch as a Vec<String>. We already have code in the CSV writer that could be repurposed.

Another option is to modify the csv writer to be able to print to a string rather than a file.
