> The AvroDeserializationSchema supports both generic and specific records, with dedicated factory methods.
> It does however not validate in any way whether the classes passed to the factories methods are actually generic/specific records respectively, which can result in Flink attempting to read generic records (and failing with an NPE) even though the user told us to read specific records.
> We should validate this eagerly and fail early.
