   Rather than add another illegal reflective access to the codebase, can we take a step back? Why do we need to add the URL to `PluginClassLoader`'s `ClassLoader`? Presumably to create a delegation relationship between them, so what prevents a parent-child relationship here? I do appreciate this is addressing a regression, so there will be some desire for a "quick fix" but this needs to be balanced against making it harder for pinot to run on recent JDKs.
   
   Regardless of my future-proofing concerns, there should be a regression test which would have caught the regression in the first place, since it will cause cause some inconvenience if it regresses again.
