Description

The documentation of flink-avro format claims hadoop is a required dependency the user should provide, which is incorrect. The required dependencies include avro and its transitive dependencies.

https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/dev/table/connectors/formats/avro.html

You can download flink-avro from Download, and requires additional Hadoop dependency for cluster execution.
