```
public abstract void addAvroSerializersIfRequired(ExecutionConfig reg,
                                                  Class<?> type)
```
    Loads the utility class from flink-avro and adds Avro-specific serializers. This method will throw an exception if we see an Avro type but flink-avro is not in the classpath.
  - addAvroGenericDataArrayRegistration
```
public abstract void addAvroGenericDataArrayRegistration(LinkedHashMap<String,KryoRegistration> kryoRegistrations)
```
    Registers a special Serializer for GenericData.Array.
  - createAvroSerializer
```
public abstract <T> TypeSerializer<T> createAvroSerializer(Class<T> type)
```
    Creates an AvroSerializer if flink-avro is present, otherwise throws an exception.
  - createAvroTypeInfo
```
public abstract <T> TypeInformation<T> createAvroTypeInfo(Class<T> type)
```
    Creates an AvroTypeInfo if flink-avro is present, otherwise throws an exception.
