Description

We have user reports that DatastoreIO does not work when they try to use it.

We believe this is a result of our effort to minimize our dependencies in the core SDK (protobuf in this case). ProtoCoder is not registered by default, so a user would need explicitly include 'beam-sdks-java-extensions-protobuf' in their maven dependencies to get it.

We need to confirm it, but if so, we will probably need to fix this in the next release to have ProtoCoder when using DatastoreIO.
