Description

Currently, Avro dates are converted to Beam datetimes.  With this change, we can retain the original date field type.

I discovered this issue when further converting the Beam schema to a BigQuery TableSchema.  The BigQuery field ended up as a TIMESTAMP instead of the desired DATE type.
