1. What GitHub issue is this PR adressing? Make sure that there is an accompanying issue to your PR.

   Fixes SNOW-755767: snowflake-jdbc driver fails with JDK >= 16 #589 which relates directly to SNOW-340077: UnsupportedOperationException sun.misc.Unsafe or java.nio.DirectByteBuffer when running on JDK16 #484, both of which are the result of Project Jigsaw encapsulation.

2. Fill out the following pre-review checklist:

   • I am adding a new automated test(s) to verify correctness of my new code
   • I am adding new logging messages
   • I am modyfying authorization mechanisms
   • I am adding new credentials
   • I am modyfying OCSP code
   • I am adding a new dependency

3. Please describe how your code solves the related issue.

Netty (netty-common) is ultimately at fault for the JDK17 illegal access reported in both tickets. Arrow depends on that machinery by simple dependency. snowflake-jdbc pulls in and shades both arrow and netty components. This makes it impossible for users of snowflake-jdbc to directly override the packaged dependency and run a newer (fixed) netty.

Per the netty maintainers 4.1.52+ has fixes for JDK17 access restrictions. In my testing rolling a snowflake-jdbc jar which forces netty-* to 4.1.72.Final (latest) resolves these issues.

For future reference, this patch is sorta in the right direction. Netty is "at fault" here, but only inasmuch as it's gracefully degrading over a removed API which Arrow is trying to use. This means that a real JDK17 fix needs to live in Arrow and there's no "quick" fix to be had. Ultimately for snowflake this will "just" be version bumps, but this isn't it.

Closing this out since it doesn't solve the problem.

@arrdem - looks like Arrow may have resolved the issue on their end with the latest release which upgrades its Netty dependency:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11293/files
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14198

The dependency would need to be upgraded from 0.15.1 to 6.0.0 https://arrow.apache.org/release/6.0.0.html
