   @rdblue that is fair. we will keep the Avro writer locally then. We can revisit the decision if there are more askings.
   
   I definitely see a need for Iceberg GenericRecord upstream. E.g. we have a user asking for non-string Map key for Flink writer.
   
   But since we are using Avro for Kafka data, I would rather avoid the type conversion btw Avro GenericRecord and Iceberg GenericRecord. In a nutshell, internally we probably would need both Avro and Iceberg Record support.
