Review Comment:
   we may not need to deprecate this API because it is just a cheap derived 
value computation. we can provide it as a convenient method if this is useful 
information to caller.
   
   I guess one down side of keeping it in the signature. if we maintain 
consistency as other numeric types, this should return a primitive `int` and we 
need another `hasAvgValueSizeInBytes` API.
   
   Since I am leaning toward dropping it in the ContentFile and Metrics, I am 
also ok with dropping it here too and not maintaining the API compatibility.
