👍
Btw, now users have to manually depend on `flink-avro` in their projects
where before they didn't necessarily have to, right? If yes, we should also put
it in the release notes.
> Improve support for Avro GenericRecord
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6022
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6022
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Type Serialization System
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> Currently, Flink is serializing the schema for each Avro GenericRecord in the
> stream.
> This leads to a lot of overhead over the wire/disk + high serialization costs.
> Therefore, I'm proposing to improve the support for GenericRecord in Flink by
> shipping the schema to each serializer through the AvroTypeInformation.
> Then, we can only support GenericRecords with the same type per stream, but
> the performance will be much better.
