Matthias Pohl updated FLINK-32582:
----------------------------------
Description:
The externalization of connectors caused problems with the Flink's test data
generation. The Kafka connector relied on TypeSerializerUpgradeTestBase for
some test cases which was fine prior to FLINK-27518 where the test data
generation was handled individually.
With FLINK-27518 the process was automated in Flink 1.18. For now, the
TypeSerializerUpgradeTestBase class was just copied over into the Kafka
connector since it was the only connector that would utilize this test base.
But we might want to provide a more generalized solution where the test base is
provided by {{flink-connector-common}} to offer a generalized approach for any
connector.
