Hello,

I'm curious if there is a way to search the archives for this list - I couldn't find one, so I think I'm about to ask a simple question, but here goes:

I noticed the MariaDB connector/J docs give an example using the HikariCP connection pool. Was there any reason for this?

I saw they filed bugs in the mariadb jira, so they have put some effort into working with the community - and they have pretty graphs showing how fast they are.

We're not really too worried about optimizing it yet - just adding a connection pool as a best practice kind of thing to a rest service hitting mariadb. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any caveats to using it with connector/J or if it was picked as the example for any particular reason.

Also - any thoughts on pooling being a best practice to start off with or an optimization you should put in when you need it, and feel like tweaking pool lifetimes, etc...

Thanks!

Take care,

-stu
