Review Comment:
   Please check my comment in the PR where it's introduced 
(https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/5629#discussion_r926262756), i don't think 
we should have this method and i believe we should be able to get away without 
it in any form.

+already used in production by Hudi users, we will provide a BWC-bridge in the 
form of instance of `HoodieRecordMerger` called `HoodieAvroRecordMerger`, that 
will 
 be using user-defined subclass of `HoodieRecordPayload` to combine the records.
 
 Leveraging such bridge will make provide for seamless BWC migration to the 
0.11 release, however will be removing the performance 
 benefit of this refactoring, since it would unavoidably have to perform 
conversion to intermediate representation (Avro). To realize
 full-suite of benefits of this refactoring, users will have to migrate their 
merging logic out of `HoodieRecordPayload` subclass and into
-new `HoodieMerge` implementation.
+new `HoodieRecordMerger` implementation.
+
+Precombine is used to merge records from logs or incoming records; 
CombineAndGetUpdateValue is used to merge record from log file and record from 
base file.
+these two merge logics are not exactly the same for some RecordPayload, such 
as OverwriteWithLatestAvroPaload. 
+We add an Enum in HoodieRecord to mark where it comes from(BASE, LOG or 
WRITE). `HoodieAvroRecordMerger`'s API will look like following:

Review Comment:
   I think we should qualify existing behavior as simply a bug and resolve it 
with this, instead of going out of the way to maintain BWC.
   
   What's your take folks @vinothchandar @prasannarajaperumal?
