## [2.3.0](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-j/tree/2.3.0) (06 Sep. 2018)
[Full Changelog](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-j/compare/2.2.6...2.3.0)

#### [CONJ-398] Improve deadlock debugging capabilities

MariaDB has now 2 new options to permit identifying deadlock :
New options

|Option|Description|
|---|---|
|includeInnodbStatusInDeadlockExceptions|add "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS" result to exception trace when having a deadlock exception.<br /><i>//Default: false</i>|
|includeThreadDumpInDeadlockExceptions|add thread dump to exception trace when having a deadlock exception.<br /><i>Default: false</i>|

#### [CONJ-639] the option "enabledSslProtocolSuites" now include TLSv1.2 by default
previous default value was "TLSv1, TLSv1.1", disabling TLSv1.2 by default, due to a corrected issue (MDEV-12190) with servers using YaSSL - not openSSL. Server error was .
Now, the default value is "TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2". So TLSv1.2 can be use directly.
Connecting MySQL community server use YaSSL without correction, and connection might result in SSLException: "Unsupported record version Unknown-0.0".


#### [CONJ-642] disable the option "useBulkStmts" by default
Using useBulkStmts permit faster batch, but cause one major issue : Batch return -1 = SUCCESS_NO_INFO

Different option use this information for optimistic update, and cannot confirm if update succeed or not.
This option still makes sense, since for big batch is way more faster, but will not be activated by default.


##= Minor change:
* CONJ-628 - optimization to read metadata faster
* CONJ-637 - java.sql.Driver class implement DriverPropertyInfo[] getPropertyInfo, permitting listing options on querying tools
* CONJ-639 - enabledSslProtocolSuites does not include TLSv1.2 by default
* CONJ-641 - update maven test dependencies for java 10 compatibility
* CONJ-643 - PreparedStatement::getParameterMetaData always returns VARSTRING as type resulting in downstream libraries interpreting values wrongly

##= Bug correction:
* CONJ-616 - correction on possible NPE on getConnection when using failover configuration and master is down, not throwing a proper exception
* CONJ-636 - Error in batch might throw a NPE and not the proper Exception

* MariaDbPoolDataSource : Connection pooling implementation. MariaDB Driver will keep a pool of connection and borrow Connections when asked for it.

New options

|Option|Description|
|---|---|
|pool|Use pool. This option is useful only if not using a DataSource object, but only connection object. <br /><i>Default: false. since 2.2.0</i>|
|poolName|Pool name that will permit to identify thread.<br />default: auto-generated as MariaDb-pool-<pool-index> <i>since 2.2.0</i>|
|maxPoolSize| The maximum number of physical connections that the pool should contain. <br /><i>Default: 8. since 2.2.0</i>|
|minPoolSize| When connection are removed since not used since more than "maxIdleTime", connections are closed and removed from pool. "minPoolSize" indicate the number of physical connections the pool should keep available at all times. Should be less or equal to maxPoolSize.<br /><i>Default: maxPoolSize value. Since 2.2.0</i>|
|poolValidMinDelay| When asking a connection to pool, Pool will validate connection state. "poolValidMinDelay" permit to disable this validation if connection has been borrowed recently avoiding useless verification in case of frequent reuse of connection. 0 meaning validation is done each time connection is asked.<br /><i>Default: 1000 (in milliseconds). Since 2.2.0</i>|
|maxIdleTime|The maximum amount of time in seconds that a connection can stay in pool when not used. This value must always be below @wait_timeout value - 45s <br /><i>Default: 600 in seconds (=10 minutes), minimum value is 60 seconds. Since 2.2.0</i>|
|staticGlobal|Indicate the following global variable (@@max_allowed_packet,@@wait_timeout,@@autocommit,@@auto_increment_increment,@@time_zone,@@system_time_zone,@@tx_isolation) values won't changed, permitting to pool to create new connection faster.<br /><i>Default: false. Since 2.2.0</i>|
|useResetConnection|When a connection is closed() (give back to pool), pool reset connection state. Setting this option, session variables change will be reset, and user variables will be destroyed when server permit it (MariaDB >= 10.2.4, MySQL >= 5.7.3), permitting to save memory on server if application make extensive use of variables<br /><i>Default: false. Since 2.2.0</i>|

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-j/compare/2.0.3...2.1.0)

##= CONJ-422 : verification of SSL Certificate Name Mismatch
When using ssl, driver check hostname against the server's identity as presented in the server's Certificate (checking alternative names or certificate CN) to prevent man-in-the-middle attack.

A new option "disableSslHostnameVerification" permit to deactivate this validation.
|=disableSslHostnameVerification| When using ssl, driver check hostname against the server's identity as presented in the server's Certificate (checking alternative names or certificate CN) to prevent man-in-the-middle attack. This option permit to deactivate this validation.<br />//Default: false. Since 2.1.0//

##= CONJ-400 - Galera validation
When configuration with multi-master, Connection.isValid() will not only validate connection, but primary state.
A connection to a node that is not in primary mode will return false (then for pool, connection will be discarded)

##= CONJ-322 - ResultSet.update* methods implementation
ResultSet.update* methods aren't implemented
statement using ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE must be able to update record.

                                  ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT age FROM TABLE2");
    // rs will be scrollable, will not show changes made by others,
    // and will be updatable
    while(rs.next()){
        //Retrieve by column name
        int newAge = rs.getInt(1) + 5;

(batch without Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS and streams) to have faster batch.
(significant only if server MariaDB &ge; 10.2.7)

A new option "useBulkStmts" permit to deactivate this functionality.
|=useBulkStmts| Use dedicated COM_STMT_BULK_EXECUTE protocol for batch insert when possible. (batch without Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS and streams) to have faster batch. (significant only if server MariaDB &ge; 10.2.7)<br />//Default: true. Since 2.1.0//

Since 1.6.0//|

* CONJ-468 - autoIncrementIncrement value loaded during connection, avoiding a query for first statement for rewrite


## [2.0.0-RC](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-j/tree/2.0.0-RC) (20 Apr. 2017)

Release candidate version.

Java 8 is now minimum required version.

##= CONJ-318 : Handle CLIENT_DEPRECATE_EOF flag
Implement some protocol changes that permit to save some bytes.(part of https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-8931).

##= CONJ-341 : handle SERVER_SESSION_STATE_CHANGE status flag
With server with version MariaDB 10.2, MySQL 5.7, ensure driver state :
- driver does now always get current database, even database is changed by query.
- when using rewriteBatchedStatements does return correct autoincrement ids even when session variable @auto_increment_increment has change during session.


##= CONJ-393 : improve setQueryTimeout to use SET STATEMENT max_statement_time

Previous implementation of query timeout handling (using Statement.setQueryTimeout) will create an additional thread with a scheduler.
When timeout is reached, a temporary connection will be created to permit executing "KILL QUERY <current connection id>", then closing the temporary connection.
When query ended before timeout, the scheduled task will be canceled.

If server is > 10.1.2, query timeout will be handle server side using "SET MAX_STATEMENT_TIME FOR" command.

##= [CONJ-315]

Closing a Statement that was fetching a result-set (using Statement.setFetchSize) and all rows where not read at the time of closing, a kill query command
will be executed on close, to avoid having to parse all remaining results.

##= [CONJ-442]
Memory optimization : streaming query.
Very big command now doesn't use any intermediate buffer. Commands are send directly to socket avoiding using memory, This permit to send very large object (1G) without using any additional memory.

##= [CONJ-366]
Faster connection : bundle first commands in authentication packet
Driver execute different command on connection. Those queries are now send using pipeline (all queries are send, then only all results are reads).

New Options :
 |=usePipelineAuth|Fast connection creation.//Default: true. Since 2.0.0//|

##= [CONJ-368]
Parsing row result optimisation to avoid creating byte array to the maximum for faster results and less memory use.

##= Remaining JDBC 4.2 missing implementation :
- CONJ-414 - support for large update count [CONJ-414]
- CONJ-409 - PrepareStatement.setObject(...) support for with java 8 temporal temporal object.

Release candidate version
### Evolution
#### Aurora host auto-discovery
(CONJ-325)

Aurora now auto discover nodes from cluster endpoint.

##### Aurora endpoints

Every aurora instance has a specific endpoint, i.e. an URL that identify the host. Those endpoints look like `xxx.yyy.zzz.rds.amazonaws.com`.

There is another endpoint named "cluster endpoint" (format `xxx.cluster-yyy.zzz.rds.amazonaws.com`) which is assigned to the current master instance and will change when a new master is promoted.

In previous version, cluster endpoint use was discouraged, since when a failover occur, this cluster endpoint can point for a limited time to a host that isn't the current master anymore. Old recommandation was to list all specific end-points, like : <br />
{{{
jdbc:mariadb:aurora://a.yyy.zzz.rds.amazonaws.com.com,b.yyy.zzz.rds.amazonaws.com.com/db
}}}
This kind of url string will still work, but now, recommended url string has to use only cluster endpoint :<br/>
{{{
jdbc:mariadb:aurora://xxx.cluster-yyy.zzz.rds.amazonaws.com/db
}}}

Driver will automatically discover master and slaves of this cluster from current cluster end-point during connection time. This permit to add new replicas to the cluster instance will be discovered without changing driver configuration.

This discovery append at connection time, so if you are using pool framework, check if this framework as a property that controls the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool, and set a value to avoid infinite lifetime. When this lifetime is reached, pool will discarded the current connection, and create a new one (if needed). New connections will use the new replicas.
(If connections are never discarded, new replicas will begin be used only when a failover occur)


### Bugfix
* CONJ-329 and CONJ-330 : rewriteBatchedStatements execute single query exceptions correction.
<br /><br />

## 1.5.0
Release candidate version
### Use native SSPI windows implementation
CONJ-295.<br />

Java kerberos implementation is not well implemented with windows :
* need a windows registry entry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters\AllowTGTSessionKey) so windows shared current ticket to java.
* java kinit must be executed to create a Ticket.
* restriction when client with local admin rights
* ...

[see openJDK issue](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6722928) for more informations

Kerberos GSSAPI implementation on windows in now based on [Waffle](https://github.com/dblock/waffle) that support windows SSPI based on [JNA](https://github.com/java-native-access/jna).<br />
if waffle-jna (and dependencies) is on classpath, native implementation will automatically be used.

This removes all those problems

### Support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2
CONJ-249/CONJ-301<br />

Driver before version 1.5 support only TLSv1.<br /> 
Default supported protocol are now TLSv1 and TLSv1.1, other protocols can be activated by options.

MariaDB and MySQL community server permit TLSv1 and TLSv1.1.<br />
MariaDB server from version 10.0.15 is using the openSSL library permitting TLSv1.2 (>= 5.5.41 for the 5.5 branch).
//YaSSL doesn't support TLSv1.2, so if MariaDB server is build from sources with YaSSL, only TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 will be available, even for version > 10.0.15//

TLSv1.2 can be enabled by setting option {{{enabledSslProtocolSuites}}} to values {{{"TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"}}}.

A new option {{{enabledSslCipherSuites}}} permit to set specific cipher.

New Options :
 |=enabledSslProtocolSuites|Force TLS/SSL protocol to a specific set of TLS versions (comma separated list). <br />Example : "TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"<br />//Default: TLSv1, TLSv1.1. Since 1.5.0//|
 |=enabledSslCipherSuites|Force TLS/SSL cipher (comma separated list).<br /> Example : "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384"<br />//Default: use JRE ciphers. Since 1.5.0//|

### Performance improvement
[CONJ-291]<br />

Different performance improvement have been done :
* Using PreparedStatement on client side use a simple query parser to identify query parameters. This parsing was taking up to 7% of query time, reduced to 3%.
* Better UTF-8 decoding avoiding memory consumption and gain 1-2% query time for big String.
* client parsing optimization : rewriteBatchedStatements (insert into ab (i) values (1) and insert into ab (i) values (2) rewritten as insert into ab (i) values (1), (2))
    is now 19% faster (Depending on queries 40-50% of CPU time was spend testing that buffer size is big enough to contain query).
* there was some memory wastage when query return big resultset (> 10kb), slowing query.
* ...

[CONJ-320]
Send X well established MySQL protocol without reading results, and read those X results afterwhile.
Basically that permit to avoid a lot of 'ping-pong' between driver and server.

New Options :
 |=useBatchMultiSend|PreparedStatement.executeBatch() will send many QUERY before reading result packets.//Default: true. Since 1.5.0//|
 |=useBatchMultiSendNumber|When using useBatchMultiSend, indicate maximum query that can be send at a time.<br />//Default: 100. Since 1.5.0//|

### Prepare + execute in one call
CONJ-296

When using MySQL/MariaDB prepared statement, there will be 3 exchanges with server :
* PREPARE - Prepares statement for execution.
* EXECUTE - Executes a prepared statement preparing by a PREPARE statement.
* DEALLOCATE PREPARE - Releases a prepared statement.

See [Server prepare documentation](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/prepare-statement/) for more
 information.

PREPARE and DEALLOCATE PREPARE are 2 additional client-server round-trip.
Since MariaDB 10.2, a new functionality named COM-MULTI to permitting to send different task to server in one round-trip.
Driver is using this functionality to PREPARE and EXECUTE in one client-server round-trip.

### Client logging

Client logging can be enable, permitting to log query information, execution time and different failover information.
This implementation need the standard SLF4J dependency.

New Options :
 |=log|Enable log information. require Slf4j version > 1.4 dependency.<br />//Default: false. Since 1.5.0//|
 |=maxQuerySizeToLog|Only the first characters corresponding to this options size will be displayed in logs<br />//Default: 1024. Since 1.5.0//|
 |=slowQueryThresholdNanos|Will log query with execution time superior to this value (if defined )<br />//Default: 1024. Since 1.5.0//|
 |=profileSql|log query execution time.<br />//Default: false. Since 1.5.0//|


### "LOAD DATA INFILE" Interceptors
CONJ-305
LOAD DATA INFILE The fastest way to load many datas is using query [LOAD DATA INFILE](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/load-data-infile/).
<br />Problem is using "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" (ie : loading a file from client), may be a security problem :
* A "man in the middle" proxy server can change the actual file asked from server so client will send a Local file to this proxy.
* If someone has can execute query from client, he can have access to any file on client (according to the rights of the user running the client process).

See [load-data-infile documentation](./documentation/use-mariadb-connector-j-driver.creole#load-data-infile) for more information.
Interceptors can now filter LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE query's file location to validate path / file name.
Those interceptors:
* Must implement interface {{{org.mariadb.jdbc.LocalInfileInterceptor}}}.
* Use [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html|ServiceLoader]] implementation, so interceptors classes must be listed in file META-INF/services/org.mariadb.jdbc.LocalInfileInterceptor.

Example:
{{{
package org.project;
public class LocalInfileInterceptorImpl implements LocalInfileInterceptor {
    @Override
    public boolean validate(String fileName) {
        File file = new File(fileName);
        String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
        String filePath = absolutePath.substring(0,absolutePath.lastIndexOf(File.separator));
        return filePath.equals("/var/tmp/exchanges");
    }
}
}}}
file META-INF/services/org.mariadb.jdbc.LocalInfileInterceptor must exist with content {{{org.project.LocalInfileInterceptorImpl}}}.

You can get ride of defining the META-INF/services file using [[https://github.com/google/auto/tree/master/service|google auto-service]] framework, permitting to use annotation {{{@AutoService(LocalInfileInterceptor.class)}}} that will register the implementation as a service automatically.  

Using the previous example: 
{{{
@AutoService(LocalInfileInterceptor.class)
public class LocalInfileInterceptorImpl implements LocalInfileInterceptor {
    @Override
    public boolean validate(String fileName) {
        File file = new File(fileName);
        String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
        String filePath = absolutePath.substring(0,absolutePath.lastIndexOf(File.separator));
        return filePath.equals("/var/tmp/exchanges");
    }
}
}}}

## 1.4.0

### Complete implementation of fetch size.
CONJ-26
JDBC allows to specify the number of rows fetched for a query, and this number is referred to as the fetch size
Before version 1.4.0, query were loading all results or row by row using Statement.setFetchSize(Integer.MIN_VALUE).
Now it's possible to set fetch size according to your need. 
Loading all results for large result sets is using a lot of memory. This functionality permit to save memory without having performance decrease.

### Memory footprint improvement
CONJ-125
Buffers have been optimized to reduced memory footprint

### CallableStatement  performance improvement.
CONJ-209
Calling function / procedure performance is now optimized according to query. Depending on queries, difference can be up to 300%.

### Authentication evolution
CONJ-251 Permit now new authentication possibility : [[https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/pam-authentication-plugin/|PAM authentication]], and GSSAPI/SSPI authentication.

GSSAPI/SSPI authentication authentication plugin for MariaDB permit a passwordless login.

On Unix systems, GSSAPI is usually synonymous with Kerberos authentication. Windows has slightly different but very similar API called SSPI, that along with Kerberos, also supports NTLM authentication.
See more detail in [[https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-j/blob/master/documentation/plugin/GSSAPI|GSSAPI/SSPI configuration]]

### Connection attributes
CONJ-217
Driver information informations are now send to [[https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/performance-schema-session_connect_attrs-table/|connection attributes tables]] (performance_schema must be activated).
A new option "connectionAttributes" permit to add client specifics data.

For example when connecting with the following connection string {{{"jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/testj?user=root&connectionAttributes=myOption:1,mySecondOption:'jj'"}}},
if performance_schema is activated, information about this connection will be available during the time this connection is active :
{{{

## Minor evolution
* CONJ-210 : adding a "jdbcCompliantTruncation" option to force truncation warning as SQLException.
* CONJ-211 : when in master/slave configuration, option "assureReadOnly" will ensure that slaves are in read-only mode ( forcing transaction by a query "SET SESSION TRANSACTION READ ONLY"). 
* CONJ-213 : new option "continueBatchOnError". Permit to continue batch when an exception occur : When executing a batch and an error occur, must the batch stop immediatly (default) or finish remaining batch before throwing exception.

## Bugfix
* CONJ-236 : Using a parametrized query with a smallint -1 does return the unsigned value
* CONJ-250 : Tomcat doesn't stop when using Aurora failover configuration
* CONJ-260 : Add jdbc nString, nCharacterStream, nClob implementation
* CONJ-269 : handle server configuration autocommit=0
* CONJ-271 : ResultSet.first() may throw SQLDataException: Current position is before the first row
