Heads up! Finally, all Avro-related code and Avro dependency, that was deprecated before (see a message above), has been removed from Beam Java SDK “core” module [1]. We believe that it was a sufficient number of Beam releases (six!) that passed after this code had been deprecated and users had an opportunity to switch to a new Avro extension as it was recommended before.
We did our best to make this transition as smooth as possible but, please, let me know you find any failed tests or any other strange behavior because of this change.
