AVRO-3208: Utf8 datum are Serializable (#1339)
> [Java] Utf8 strings should be Serializable

> It's a common pattern in big data execution engines like Beam, Spark, Flink
> to extract a key from an object and use it in a pipeline for later operations
> on grouping and aggregations. When the Avro string primitive is a Utf8
> datum, this adds unnecessary complexity because it's not serializable.
> This was mostly addressed in AVRO-200 and AVRO-1502 by making generated
> specific Avro objects Serializable or Externalizable, but using a STRING as a
> key is extremely common and worth addressing.
