We can use a specific record here. We have the class for it.
```
this.record = (SpecificRecord) SpecificData.newInstance(recordClazz,
schema);

> Add Kafka TableSource with Avro serialization
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3871
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk
>
> Add a Kafka TableSource which supports Avro serialized data.
> The KafkaAvroTableSource should support two modes:
> # SpecificRecord Mode: In this case the user specifies a class which was
> code-generated by Avro depending on a schema. Flink treats these classes as
> regular POJOs. Hence, they are also natively supported by the Table API and
> SQL. Classes generated by Avro contain their Schema in a static field. The
> schema should be used to automatically derive field names and types. Hence,
> there is no additional information required than the name of the class.
> # GenericRecord Mode: In this case the user specifies an Avro Schema. The
> schema is used to deserialize the data into a GenericRecord which must be
> translated into possibly nested {{Row}} based on the schema information.
> Again, the Avro Schema is used to automatically derive the field names and
> types. This mode is less efficient than the SpecificRecord mode because the
> {{GenericRecord}} needs to be converted into {{Row}}.
> This feature depends on FLINK-5280, i.e., support for nested data in
> {{TableSource}}.
