Prometheus-rsocket-client seems to have issues with JDK17

[nightswimmings]

Looks like executing the prometheus-rsocket-client on Java 17 fails because of some runtime errors of snappy-java library

"Custom destroy method 'pushAndClose' on bean with name 'prometheusRSocketClient' threw an exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.xerial.snappy.pure.UnsafeUtil"

xerial/snappy-java#305

This is the evidence I collected, but I see no mention here so in case I am missing something I'll stand corrected

I tried with both 1.3.0 and 1.4.0, as soon as I use eclipse-temurin:17-jdk-alpine as my base image, some metrics (I guess those collected during runtime, and relying on pushAndClose) don't get into the proxy and I get this error in logs

Does what's suggested in this comment fix it? I suspect it's an issue of alpine not having a required dependency.

I never answered this! My apologies. But yes, the gcompat thing fixed it. is it still necessary in 2023?
