Comment (by karsten):

 Yes, that's the most up-to-date commit.  I'm planning to add another
 class, `DescriptorWriter`, that generalizes writing descriptors to a local
 directory structure, which would be necessary for Onionoo to fetch
 descriptors from CollecTor and cache them locally before processing them
 with `DescriptorReader`.  But I'm not planning to change the
 `DescriptorCollector` code in the next few days except for incorporating
 feedback.  Thanks!
