I am looking for information about serialization compatibility across different 
Avro versions. I was looking for a compatibility matrix kind of information in 
Avro documentation but did not see one.

I found following post in the archive related to same question but it is 5+ 
years old.

https://sematext.com/opensee/m/Avro/F2svI1FP3E2BxhAI?subj=Avro+cross+version+serialization+format+compatibility

My specific question is: Can the object serialized with Avro 1.7.7 always be 
deserialized with version 1.8.2 and vice-versa.

Based on the response in the old post since the major version is the same we 
should be able to do that. But because of the time gap between the old post and 
now I wonder if anyone has current information about any incompatibility issues 
or yet to be resolved open issues surrounding any format compatibility between 
the above two versions. Confirmation that the response from the old post still 
stands true for versions 1.7.7 and 1.8.2 would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Sanjay
