> It is hard to understand the reason of using {{Configurable}} for KafkaRecordDeserializationSchema, since Deserializer already has the similar method for configuring.
> It assumes that users might have defined a deserializerA as a subclass of both Configurable and Deserializer, where (Configurable){{{}deserializerA::configure(Map<String, ?>){}}} could have user-defined configuration logic. Since this subclass could be defined by user outside the Flink project, we want to continue to support this this user-defined deserializer for backward compatibility. 
> This backward compatibility has been considered. This idea is to just reduce the type control of the input parameter DeserializationSchema a little bit from {{Configurable & Deserializer<V>}} to {{{}Deserializer<V>{}}}. The wrapper will check internally and call {{org.apache.kafka.common.Configurable.configure}} if the schema implements {{{}Configurable{}}}. In this way, old cases due to the backward compatibility will be supported implicitly without confusing users who use {{Deserializer.configure}}
