Hi all, Please find the following design doc for a portable RAW field type enabling arbitrary (serializable) data type to be included and take advantage of the Beam portable schema framework
https://s.apache.org/beam-portable-raw-type It aims to solve https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/23374 (as well as https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19817) as part of schema improvement for Beam 3 (https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/34672). It also includes an appendix of term disambiguation between Beam/Flink/Avro schema systems that might find useful in general. I proposed two alternative designs. Any feedback is welcome!
