Remove the `.dat` file
I propose we remove this line: https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/bilby/-/blob/master/bilby/core/sampler/dynesty.py#L622
Currently, the dynesty
sampler dumps a rough set of samples on each checkpoint using rejection sampling. However, these:
- Do not contain the complete set of posteriors (no reconstruction)
- Differ from the final data product in a way we have not investigated
As such, they cause confusion for users (especially if the run fails, but they still see samples).
Any objections?
