Description

Protocol Buffers was created by Google as a way of describing messages to use on communication between systems. Each message could be interpreted like a rows.Table (some of them can be nested). Creating such a plugin for protocol buffers would be handy for logging the messages sent and received, for example (you can import data from protocol buffers, then export using another format, for example).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing rows plugin system for importing/exporting data. Study the Protocol Buffers Python tutorial and understand how to parse .proto files and convert messages to rows.Table. Look at similar plugins in the repository for patterns.
