Daniel Halperin commented on BEAM-881:
--------------------------------------
I can buy the general use case. But we need the value to be evident before we
make an invasive change across all of Beam.
So to prove this is useful we need a really useful tuple type and demonstrate
value to the rest of the project to support it.
> Provide a PTransform in IOs providing a "standard" Avro IndexedRecord

> Now, each IO is using a different data format. For instance, the
> {{JmsIO.Read}} provides a {{PCollection}} of {{JmsRecord}} (and
> {{JmsIO.Write}} expects also a {{JmsRecord}}), {{KafkaIO.Read}} provides a
> {{PCollection}} of {{KafkaRecord}}.
> It could appear a bit "complex" for users to manipulate such kind of data
> format: some users may expect kind of standard format.
> Without modifying the existing IO, we could add a {{PTransform}} (as part of
> the IO) that an user can optionally use. This transform will convert the IO
> data format (let say {{JmsRecord}} for instance) to a standard Avro
> {{IndexedRecord}}.
