BigQuery native compilation fails due to unresolved field io.netty.buffer.PoolArena.chunkSize

[jamesnetherton]

Bug description

Quarkus has upgraded Netty to 4.1.103.Final. The version of Apache Arrow used by google-cloud-biqqueryis not compatible with this. See apache/arrow#39265.

The workaround for now was to copy the updated Arrow Netty classes to the BigQuery extension. However, given the simple nature of the original fix:

apache/arrow@a4a3d3f

I wonder if we could have a BuildStep to do some bytecode hackery and avoid having to carry the additional sources. It could even be activated conditionally based on the version of arrow that we detect.

@jamesnetherton any hint to create a tranformer of bytecode? I tried such things before but it seems hard to work.

Yeah, it's tricky. I was actually just thinking about this and whether it's worth trying to do it.

java-bigquery has upgraded to Arrow 15.x now:

googleapis/java-bigquery@4d4cbae

So maybe we'll get a release with that change incorporated soon and we could remove the hacks.
