> Fix the nullability issues with protobuf to schema mapping
> * Proto3 primitive types should be *not* nullable.
> * Proto2 required types should be *not* nullable.
> * Proto2 optional should also be *not* nullable as having an optional value
> doesn't mean it has not value. The spec states it has the optional value.
> * Arrays should be *not* nullable, as proto arrays always have an empty
> array when no value is set.
> * Maps should be *not* nullable, as proto maps always have an empty map when
> no value is set.
> * Elements in an array should be *not* nullable, as nulls are not allowed in
> an array.
> * Names and Values should be *not* nullable, as nulls are not allowed.
> * Rows are nullable, as messages are nullable.
