Proposal: descriptor (.pb) to .proto files

[Alex Van Boxel]

Hi,

I'm currently prototyping a Descriptor to .proto files dumper. I'm wondering if it would be something that would be of interest to include in the java-utils part of grpc-java?

We're planning to use it for dynamically generated schema's, that we then dump on a filesystem to check into git.

(it's work in progress, but already generates pretty complete proto files)

https://github.com/anemos-io/metastore/blob/master/server/src/main/java/io/anemos/metastore/ProtoFileWriter.java

If this is something that could be included I'll do the effort of getting an environment up that is able to build grpc-java.

FWIW, I have a Go implementation of the same functionality here: https://godoc.org/github.com/jhump/protoreflect/desc/protoprint

For Java, I wrote a library for generating protobuf source files using a builder style pattern here:
