> Avro objects store text values as `java.lang.CharSequence`. Right now, these
> fields are treated as `ANY` type by Calcite (`GenericType` by Flink). So,
> importing a `DataStream` or `DataSet` of Avro objects results in Table where
> the text values cannot be used as String fields.
> We should convert `CharSequence` fields to `String` when importing /
> converting to a Table.
