Description

The new major release 1.10.0 of Avro is out.

Moving Avro from 1.8 to 1.9 requires significant efforts from the components using it and we already introduced 1.9 in the parquet release 1.11.0. We cannot step backward (downgrading Avro) and the Avro release 1.10.0 does not contain too many additional breaking changes so we should do the upgrade for the next 1.12.0 parquet release.
