Subject: [PATCH] [HUDI-617] Add support for types implementing CharSequence
 (#1339)

- Data types extending CharSequence implement a #toString method which provides an easy way to convert them to String.
- For example, org.apache.avro.util.Utf8 is easily convertible into String if we use the toString() method. It's better to make the support more generic to support a wider range of data types as partitionKey.
