Description

  This ticket is intended to group all issues found to support Java 17 in the future.

Upgrade steps:

• Dependencies to be updated (not all but at least those that require an update in order to work with Java 17)
• More encapsulated JDK internal APIs. Some of the issues might be solved with the dependencies updates
• Currently trunk compiles if we remove the Nashorn dependency (ant script tag, used for the test environment; UDFs) . The oracle recommendation to use  Nashorn-core won't work for the project as it is under GPL 2.0. Most probably we will opt in for graal-sdk licensed under UPL
• All tests to be cleaned
• CI environment to be setup

NOTE: GC tuning, performance testing were never agreed to be part of this ticket.

Below is a snapshot of current CI failures with JDK17, it will be updated on a regular basis with a date of update
