Description

Due to backward compatibility issue, I am forced to use proto2. I am not sure if my clients can keep on using proto2 and I can move to proto3. Also it is recommended to keep using proto2 as proto3 doesn't have many new features.

So, if I am supposed to use proto2 only, is there a workaround for it given bytes_type and enums are not supported?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the `proto2ConvertFuncs` definition in the grpc gateway codebase and implement handlers for bytes and enum field types by following the pattern used for other types.
