URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/15100

   ### Feature Request / Improvement
   
   
   #14125 set the version of the hadoop libraries iceberg is built with to 3.4.2
   However, spark 3.4.4 and 3.5.8 are built with Hadoop 3.3.5.
   There's a risk of accidental use of APIs, enum values, overridden methods 
and the like such that
   iceberg doesn't actually run properly in these versions. And while the 
iceberg testing _should_ find problems, there's inevitably code paths, which 
don't get tested, especially those related to
   different deployment scenarios.
   
   That's independent of the challenge of using new APIs (#12055) in the code.
   
   It would be much safer to fix the hadoop version in builds to be that of the 
oldest supported
   spark release. Those developers who want to adopt new features will have to 
use reflection.
   
   Easy to fix
   * Downgrade hadoop3 version in gradle/libs.versions.toml
   * Add a comment saying "must be in sync with oldest supported spark release"
