> In the initial [python RowCoder implementation|https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/9188] we only added support for the data types that already had coders in the Python SDK. We should add support for the remaining data types that are not currently supported:
> * INT8 (ByteCoder in Java)
> * INT16 (BigEndianShortCoder in Java)
> * FLOAT (FloatCoder in Java) (Note: doubles are supported, this is specifically for single-precision)
> * --BOOLEAN (standard beam:coder:bool:v1, BooleanCoder in Java)--
> * --BYTES (standard beam:coder:bytes:v1, ByteArrayCoder in Java)--
> * --Map (MapCoder in Java)--
> We might consider making those coders standard so they can be tested independently from RowCoder in standard_coders.yaml. Or, if we don't do that we should probably add a more robust testing framework for RowCoder itself, because it will be challenging to test all of these types as part of the RowCoder tests in standard_coders.yaml.
