Aljoscha Krettek updated FLINK-9202:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.6.0
> AvroSerializer should not be serializing the target Avro type class
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9202
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9202
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Type Serialization System
> Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> The {{AvroSerializer}} contains this field which is written when the
> serializer is written into savepoints:
> [https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/be7c89596a3b9cd8805a90aaf32336ec2759a1f7/flink-formats/flink-avro/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/formats/avro/typeutils/AvroSerializer.java#L78]
> This causes Avro schema evolution to not work properly, because Avro
> generated classes have non-fixed serialVersionUIDs. Once a new Avro class is
> generated with a new schema, that class can not be loaded on restore due to
> incompatible UIDs, and thus the serializer can not be successfully
> deserialized.
> A possible solution would be to only write the classname, and dynamically
> load the class into a transient field.
