Jing Ge updated FLINK-25702:
----------------------------
    Description: 
It is hard to understand the reason of using {{Configurable}} for 
KafkaRecordDeserializationSchema, since Deserializer already has the similar 
method for configuring.

It assumes that users might have defined a deserializerA as a subclass of both 
Configurable and Deserializer, where 
(Configurable){{{}deserializerA::configure(Map<String, ?>){}}} could have 
user-defined configuration logic. Since this subclass could be defined by user 
outside the Flink project, we want to continue to support this this 
user-defined deserializer for backward compatibility. 

This backward compatibility has been considered. This idea is to just reduce 
the type control of the input parameter DeserializationSchema a little bit from 
{{Configurable & Deserializer<V>}} to {{{}Deserializer<V>{}}}. The wrapper will 
check internally and call {{org.apache.kafka.common.Configurable.configure}} if 
the schema implements {{{}Configurable{}}}. In this way, old cases due to the 
backward compatibility will be supported implicitly without confusing users who 
use {{Deserializer.configure}}
