Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on BEAM-881:
-------------------------------------------
Related to that, we could provide a {{sdks/java/extensions/dataformat}} packaging those {{PTransforms}}
and utils related to data format generally speaking.
> Provide a PTransform in IOs providing a "standard" Avro IndexedRecord

> Now, each IO is using a different data format. For instance, the {{JmsIO.Read}} provides
a {{PCollection}} of {{JmsRecord}} (and {{JmsIO.Write}} expects also a {{JmsRecord}}), {{KafkaIO.Read}}
provides a {{PCollection}} of {{KafkaRecord}}.
> It could appear a bit "complex" for users to manipulate such kind of data format: some
users may expect kind of standard format.
> Without modifying the existing IO, we could add a {{PTransform}} (as part of the IO)
that an user can optionally use. This transform will convert the IO data format (let say {{JmsRecord}}
for instance) to a standard Avro {{IndexedRecord}}.
