> Basically, datahub uses some version of avro which is incompatible with avro
> confluent uses and if i put libs from confluent on cp to use that serializer
> then it will use avro from datahub instead of what it needs. So I just
> forcibly removed classes from datahub jar. Not sure what is the proper
> solution to this. Maybe some shadowing? Update of datahub to something newer?
> Confluent uses 1.12 Avro.
