-> If you want the old values with Update or Delete events, you can use other protocols.
+> The Avro protocol does not encode the old values for Update and Delete events. Additionally, in order to be compatible to most Confluent sink connectors which only recognizes `null` record for deletion (`"delete.on.null"`), a Delete event cannot carry extension information such as `_tidb_commit_ts` even when enabling `enable-tidb-extension`. If you need these features, consider using other protocols such as Canal-JSON or Debezium.
