   @massdosage I see it that Avro is not part of the public API of Iceberg. There are two ways around this - both of which have issues.
   1. Use thin artifacts [iceberg-api, iceberg-core] instead of the shaded artifacts, where Avro will be unshaded.  This can have potential class-path conflicts if you use these  instead of the shaded runtime artifacts in compute engines Spark, Pig, Presto etc.
   1. You can convert the Avro Schema object to a string and then parse it with the shaded Avro api in Iceberg, but then u risk these internal apis changing underneath you with future versions of Iceberg.
