Description

MIRI checks were introduced with AVRO-3247.

With this ticket I suggest to remove it for the following reasons:

1) It is unstable/unreliable

https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/f56051539d9330722c36888b730aee5b559e01ec/.github/workflows/test-lang-rust-miri.yml#L44 is a special snippet that finds the latest 'miri' build. It is based on Rust nightly and it is not always bug free

 

2) it is not actionable

When the check fails it does not provide any information what the problem is. For example - https://github.com/apache/avro/runs/6458100946?check_suite_focus=true

3) it is slow

the MIRI check is the slowest of all Rust checks
