Review comment:
       It seems like you have more things in mind than what is coming through 
across this PR and your last PR on JSON. It almost seems like we should have a 
design document here so that the path you are perusing is clear.
   
   My original question still remains unanswered: Why do we need to intercept 
requests to index JSON column? Just registering the indexer should be 
sufficient, right?

   With the right "storage" plugin, you could store destructured JSON into a 
JSON column or store destructed JSON into multiple columns, etc. An "indexing" 
plugin may then be associated with a corresponding storage plugin if needed. 
(and still not sure where protobuf comes into this).
   
   I really think we need to take the time to create a design document here, as 
to what you are trying to do and what the end goal is, before we move forward 
with further changes.
