Comment (by karsten):

 Can you try this out in a branch and use a jar file produced by that for
 the distributed/cloud data frameworks you have in mind?

 I'd also think that most classes are serializable. The issue is that by
 adding the `Serializable` interface we ''are'' declaring all descriptors
 as serializable in the API. We should only do that if we are confident
 that it will very likely not break anything. Maybe your test can give us
 that confidence?
