We may want to add 1.11.3 here for avro compatibility test

Looks like Avro 1.12 dropped Java 8 support:

Task :sdks:java:extensions:avro:compileTestJava FAILED
/runner/_work/beam/beam/sdks/java/extensions/avro/src/test/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/extensions/avro/coders/AvroCoderTest.java:50: error: cannot access AvroRuntimeException

class file has wrong version 55.0, should be 52.0

after this change https://github.com/apache/beam/actions/workflows/beam_PreCommit_Java_Spark3_Versions.yml started failing due to test cannot be compiled on Java8

The test can be fixed by #34985. However we may still need to rollback this change as it effectively dropped Beam Java 8 support.

Alternatively one can pin avro version as

beam/sdks/java/io/expansion-service/build.gradle

Line 35 in 75cf7e1

resolutionStrategy.force 'org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients:3.9.0'

in expansion service build.gradle in both io/expansion-service and io/gcp/expansion-service. This resolves the vulnerability in apache/beam_java_expansion_service docker image released by us
