Description

Right now in 1.X we can format the crawldb dump as follows

• -format csv - in Csv format
• -format normal - dump in standard format (default option), and
• -format crawldb - dump as CrawlDB

We should port this to 2.X as it is extremely helpful for cross language support to be able to read alternative data input formats e.g. CSV
