Timo Walther commented on FLINK-9604:
-------------------------------------

Thanks for working on this issue [~mingleizhang]. In the future we want to 
separate connector and format. Such that a Protobuf serialization schema can 
also be used for other connectors not only Kafka. Feel free to open a PR for 
serialization/deserialization schemas that convert to Table API types similar 
as done in FLINK-8630.

> Protocol buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral extensible 
> mechanism for serializing structured data. And in actual production 
> applications, Protocol Buffers is often used for serialization and 
> deserialization. So, I would suggest add this commonly used function.
