Using scala 2.12.17 I am trying to convert an Apache Flink 1.17.0 DataStream of Avro SpecificRecord (org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecord) to a DataStream of Flink's RowData (org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData) such that I can write the avro messages to storage using the Apache Flink Delta Connector (Apache Flink Delta Connector), which needs the RowData format to be able to write. Additionally, I also need to get the associated RowType (org.apache.flink.table.types.logical.RowType) of the RowData to supply to the Delta Connector writer method.
I have tried to use AvroRowDataDeserializationSchema (org.apache.flink.formats.avro.AvroRowDataDeserializationSchema) to do the conversion from a DataStream of SpecificRecord to a DataStream of RowData but I cannot wrap my head around how to do it in a generic way where I can do the conversion for any compiled avro schema of type SpecificRecord and at the same time get the associated RowType.
