             Summary: Avro should be always in the user code
                 Key: FLINK-7997
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7997
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.4.0


Having Avro in the user code space makes it possible for users to use different 
Avro versions that the ones pulled in by an overloaded classpath (for example 
when having Hadoop in the classpath)

This is possible through the new child-first classloading in Flink 1.4.

Also, this should fix the problem of "X cannot be cast to X", because Avro 
classes will be scoped to the user code class loader, and the Avro schema cache 
will not be JVM-wide-
