> Just as we can infer a Beam Schema from a NamedTuple type ([code|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/typehints/schemas.py]), we should have support for inferring a schema from a [protobuf-generated Python type|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/pythontutorial].
> This should integrate well with the rest of the schema infrastructure. For example it should be possible to use schema-aware transforms like SqlTransform, Select, or beam.dataframe.convert.to_dataframe on a PCollection that is annotated with a protobuf type. For example (using the addressbook_pb2 example from the [tutorial|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/pythontutorial#reading-a-message]):
> {code:python}
> import adressbook_pb2
> import apache_beam as beam
> from apache_beam.dataframe.convert import to_dataframe
> pc = (input_pc | beam.Map(create_person).with_output_type(addressbook_pb2.Person))
> df = to_dataframe(pc) # deferred dataframe with fields id, name, email, ...
> # OR
> pc | beam.transforms.SqlTransform("SELECT name WHERE email = 'foo@bar.com' FROM PCOLLECTION")
> {code}
