   @openinx Thanks for following up on this issue, I haven't test nested field, 
but found another issue about Logical Types. Our ETL build on CDH-6.3.1 with 
Avro 1.8.2, which not support generate Java 8 time because of AVRO-2079, and 
without `converter`, Flink can't handle joda time properly.
   
   > I think we may need a `converter` which just like the flink's 
`DataFormatConverters.RowConverter` to convert the avro `GenericRecord` to 
`RowData` ?
   
   We really need that `converter`. All of our ETL job input and output data 
structures are present by Avro `GenericRecord` because it has `avrc` to define 
schema in Json, and provide `avro-maven-plugin` to generate Entity 
automatically. 
   
   PS: We only use avro to manage schemas, but store in ORC. And we are trying 
to migrate storage format to Iceberg. If iceberg provide schema management 
tools like avro, may be we can also manage schema by Iceberg.
