Looking at the Jiras that were released between 1.8.1 (our current version) and 1.9.2 (the current GA version of Avro) [1], it appears that if we were to upgrade Avro, we definitely should go to the latest (there are a number of regressions in 1.8.2 and 1.9.0 for example). However I'm a little leery of [2], it shouldn't affect anything we do inside NiFi, but I wonder if it's a dealbreaker for upgrade. What are your thoughts? For reference, [3] is the list of open issues against 1.9.2 specifically, of course there may be some that are to be fixed in 1.9.3 but there aren't any yet with 1.9.3 set as a fix version, and I'm not a member of the Avro community so I don't know when/if 1.9.3 will be released (or if [2] will be in it).
I also haven't tried just upgrading on my local branch and running all tests, will do that shortly.
