Description

As of July 2023, we have paused active development on TorchData and have paused new releases. We have learnt a lot from building it and hearing from users, but also believe we need to re-evaluate the technical design and approach given how much the industry has changed since we began the project. During the rest of 2023 we will be re-evaluating our plans in this space.

We want to hear from users on their use-cases and the pain-points they have (with data loading in general or torchdata specifically). Please reply on this issue to help inform our future roadmap.
