Quick update:  
A basic writer function is implemented. As always please let me know if you need more features or something is not working right. I have not yet implemented tests for the writer but it seems to work based on quick tests I did on my machine.

Next I want to implement a chunk reader that lets the user iterate over the file only keeping one chunk in memory at a time. I think this would be useful for eg filtering the data.
