Code Review
This automated pull request updates the io.netty:netty-transport-native-epoll dependency. My review found a significant issue with how this dependency is managed. The pom.xml explicitly pins a very old version of Netty, overriding the much newer version managed by the grpc-bom. This creates a risk of runtime errors and security vulnerabilities. I've provided a critical review comment with a suggestion to remove the explicit version pin and let the BOM manage the dependency, which will improve the project's stability and security.

This pull request updates netty-transport-native-epoll to version 4.2.9.Final. However, this version appears to be very old (from ~2017) and is being explicitly defined, which overrides the version managed by the grpc-bom. The grpc-bom (version 1.77.0) in your dependencyManagement section manages Netty 4.1.112.Final, which is much more recent and secure.
Pinning an old version of a critical networking library like Netty can cause several problems:
- Runtime Instability: Mismatched versions between gRPC and Netty can lead to subtle bugs or runtime errors like
NoSuchMethodError. - Security Risks: Old library versions often contain known security vulnerabilities that have been patched in newer releases.
To resolve this and improve dependency management, it's best to let the grpc-bom control the Netty version. This ensures compatibility across your gRPC dependencies.
I recommend removing the explicit <version> tag for this dependency and letting the BOM manage it.
