Description

Can we keep this in the lance-datagen package? It seems generally useful. Also, we might be able to implement it as a generic "repeat" generator that repeats elements from an underlying generator (either in fixed run lengths or random run lengths)

Can do in a follow-up too

Research direction

Start in the lance-datagen package by reviewing its existing data generators and the discussion in pull request #4380. Implement the requested RleDataGen there, with a generic repeat generator as an optional follow-up. Done means the package exposes the requested generator and its behavior is covered by the package's existing checks.
