Bulk insert

[Arthur McGibbon]

Sorry if this starts a new thread - I've only just subscribed to the list
and can't seem to continue my original thread.

I take the point that configuration options may differ across databases
e.g. _max errors allowed_, but I think the majority of options will be the
same e.g. timeout, table lock.

I don't think the file formats will be an issue as I'd expect the metadata
to be defined by the user and data passed in as java types, not bulk
inserted from a CSV or equivalent.  Under the hood the drivers can convert
that data however they need.

I'd be happy to flesh out an API if it'll make bulk inserts more likely to
be added.  How are API changes submitted?  Is there a github project I
could submit a PR to or I could post it here as I think it's rather short.

regards
Arthur
