Useful methods getting deprecated

Hi Flink users,

I am a big fan of table API and we are extensively using it on petabytes
with ad-hoc queries. In our system, nobody goes and writes table creation
DDL, we inherit table schema from schema registry(avro data in Kafka)
dynamically and create temporary tables in the session.

I am using methods like `connect`, `registerTableSource` to generate my
tables dynamically which are now giving deprecation warnings. It is just
simply not practical to write SQL for table generation with schema. I may
end-up doing a lot of string operation for generating SQL statement from
Avro Schema for generating tables and use `executeSql`, but I don't think it
will be as cleaner as using `connect`, `registerTableSource`. I am little
bit worried about fetching new Flink releases to my application now.

Is there any specific reason low level support for creating tables are
getting deprecated?

Best regards,
