   @vroyer 
   we went down the path of adding `GenericObject#getNativeObject` (formerly GenericRecord#getNativeRecord) in order to let the user deal with AVRO directly.
   
   the problem, raised by @sijie , is that we would have to maintain the mapping between our "general purpose" Schema API and Avro, Protobuf and all of the future technologies that we want to support.
   
   Avro and Protobuf are very different, and the API that we can create will be only an approximation and it won't be able to represent all of the internal features of such libraries, in other words, advanced users will not be able to use Pulsar.
