Settings "avro.specific.reader" via Spring results in a class cast exception

[gonozalviii]

AbstractAvroSnapshotDeserializer assumes type boolean for the property entry in its config map. It uses the following line in its doInit()-Method

useSpecificAvroReader = (boolean) getValue(config, SPECIFIC_AVRO_READER, false);

Settings this property using Spring results in its type being a String. Changing that to:

useSpecificAvroReader = Boolean.valueOf(getValue(config, SPECIFIC_AVRO_READER, false));

would fix the issue.

@gonozalviii: Can you raise a PR for this?

I'm facing the same issue, using com.hortonworks.registries.schemaregistry.serdes.avro.kafka.KafkaAvroDeserializer with Spring Boot.

As mentioned by @gonozalviii , would it be possible to get the given fix for this ?
