Description

The Kite Dataset Sink uses the Kite SDK. The SDK appears to be abandoned. While upgrading Avro a problem arose that Kite is using a method in Avro that is no longer supported, which makes upgrading Avro difficult. Given the importance of upgrading to a version without reported security issues dropping this component seems to make the most sense.
