[Task]: Upgrade avro to the latest version after Java 8 is deprecated #34993

Description

@liferoad

What needs to happen?

#34968 shows that org.apache.avro:avro cannot be upgraded to the latest one (1.12.0) since it does not support Java 8 any more.

We should do this package upgrade after Java 8 is deprecated from Beam Java SDK.

    This Issue is marked as Beam 3 - Milestone 1: No Code and ML focus. Please help us burning down the open blocker tasks.

    • If this issue is solved, close it. If it is obsolete, close as not planned. If it is no longer necessary for Beam 3, move it out of the Milestone.

    • If the work is pending, please be reminded that Milestone 1 is targeted for completion by Beam 2.72 cut (Feb 18, 2026)

    • If this issue involves multiple milestones (e.g. remove a public API should first mark it as deprecated, scoped in Milestone 1; then finally remove it in Beam 3 release candidate, scoped in Milestone 3) and Milestone 1 portion has completed, consider move the Issue to Milestone 3.
