-------------------------------------------

[~davor] [~kenn] [~bchambers] as discussed together, here's the Jira about providing {{PTransform}} in each IO to deal with type conversion.

> 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}}.
