Adding classes to assist with streaming from gRPC

[Careyjmac]

Please do not merge just yet, waiting on an update to the utils-java dependency that fixes a bug in gRPC that should make this work successfully on larger datasets.

This is very exciting! Will there be gRPC for Annotations too?

Hi Paul,

Not quite yet, we're waiting to see how the GA4GH discussions regarding an
official Annotations API coalesces.

Hi Dion,

I definitely would not wait too long - actually I would not wait at all.

It would definitely be better to just implement one or more proof-of-concept(s) to show their pro/cons, and then tweak them afterwards to GA4GH's preference. Things usually move faster that way, and then people have ideas to play with which are actually applied.

I'm not sure everyone there has the resources and wealth of ideas you would be exposed to at Google. This would be a great leadership opportunity to expand people's minds on how to think differently and/or bigger.

Ok, this should be good to merge now that I was able to update the utils-java version in the pom file.

LGTM! Thanks!

tiny nit (and please feel free to ignore): the function name ConvergeReadsList did not convey the function's purpose to me at first glance. I looked up the dictionary definition for "converge" and perhaps it is appropriate in this case because the scenario is many lists coming together as a collection of individual reads?

Alternative names could be ConvertReadsListToReads or EmitIndividualReads.

@Careyjmac these helper classes are great! Other than my minor comments, this LGTM.
