Description

Make it easy to read and write binary files of Protobuf objects. If there is a standard open source format for this, use it.

If not, roll our own and implement it?

Imported from Jira [BEAM-221](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-221). Original Jira may contain additional context.
Reported by: dhalperi.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ProtoIO request and the linked Jira issue BEAM-221 for the missing context around reading and writing binary Protobuf objects. Compare the available standard open-source formats before defining the scope of a possible implementation. Done means an agreed format and a usable ProtoIO capability, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
