The proto representation isn't (yet) part of the public API, and is still
under active development. However, if you're curious you can see it via
calling
pipeline.to_runner_api()
in Python or manually invoking classes under
https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/master/runners/core-construction-java/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/runners/core/construction
for Java. There's probably some equivalent for Go.
(Eventually, the way to get at this would be to implement a Runner whose
input would be the proto description itself, but currently both Python and
Java represent Pipelines as native objects when invoking runners.)
