Code Review

This pull request updates the netty-transport-native-epoll dependency version in spannerlib/wrappers/spannerlib-java/pom.xml from 4.2.10.Final to 4.2.11.Final. The reviewer noted that explicitly defining this version overrides grpc-bom, which is a risky practice that could lead to runtime issues due to version incompatibilities. Furthermore, the 4.2.11.Final version appears to be incorrect, as official Netty 4.x releases are typically in the 4.1.x series. It is recommended to remove this explicit version declaration to ensure compatibility and allow grpc-bom to manage the dependency.

[gemini-code-assist]

The version for io.netty:netty-transport-native-epoll is explicitly defined, overriding the version managed by grpc-bom. This is a risky practice that can lead to NoSuchMethodError and other runtime issues due to version incompatibilities with other gRPC components. As per dependency management best practices, especially when dealing with BOMs, it's crucial to ensure versions are current and compatible. Furthermore, the version 4.2.11.Final appears to be incorrect. The official Netty 4.x releases are under the 4.1.x series. To ensure compatibility and maintainability, it is recommended to remove this explicit version declaration. This will allow the grpc-bom to manage the Netty version, guaranteeing it is compatible with the rest of the gRPC stack.
