No. I meant to use Pulsar schema. However you don't need to use the avro dependencies introduced by pulsar since those dependencies are shaded. You can include both pulsar-client and avro dependency in your application, then you will use the version of Avro you include.
I've put up an example on how to use Avro schema. https://github.com/sijie/pulsar-avro-schema-example Feel free to check it out.
