See especially: - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7420: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7420:> Move All Avro Code to flink-avro - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7997: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7997:> Avro should be always in the user code - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6022: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6022:> Improve support for Avro GenericRecord
