Review Comment:
   Yeah the problem is Short (int16)  and Byte (a single Byte) are not types 
that are supported by Avro (see [Avro primitive 
types](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26161_02/html/GettingStartedGuide/avroschemas.html#:~:text=in%20this%20chapter.-,Primitive%20Data%20Types,-In%20the%20previous))
 or Parquet (see [primitive 
types](https://parquet.apache.org/docs/file-format/types/)). So actually in 
AvroUtils we turn Short and Byte types into Beam Schema types to an Integer 
(int32).
   
   Avro and Parquet do support a sequence of bytes though, so I've replaced 
Byte with ByteBuffer in `AvroPrimitiveDataTypes`.
   
   >Another alternative would be just to get rid of the Byte field in 
AllPrimitiveDataTypes
   
   If you agree, I'd be happy to remove Short and replace Byte with ByteBuffer 
in `AllPrimitiveDataTypes` and use that for everything instead (for both read 
and write).
