I don’t have a specific link for the sharding feature. I just took a quick look at the JDBC 4.3 spec. The overview of changes lists the following changes regarding sharding:
* Added support for Sharding. Sharding is a scaling technique in which data is horizontally partitioned across independent databases. * Addition of the java.sql.ShardigKey interface This interface is used to indicate that this object represents a Sharding Key. A ShardingKey instance is only guaranteed to be compatible with the data source instance that it was derived from. * Addition of the java.sql.ShardingKeyBuilder interface A builder created from a DataSource or XADataSource object, used to create a ShardingKey with sub-keys of supported data types. Just for completeness, there are other new interfaces that cause similar problems: * Addition of the java.sql.ConnectionBuilder interface A builder created from a DataSource object, used to establish a connection to the database that the data source object represents. * Addition of the javax.sql.XAConnectionBuilder interface A builder created from a XADataSource object, used to establish a connection to the database that the data source object represents. * Addition of the javax.sql.PooledConnectionBuilder interface A builder created from a PooledConnectionDataSource object, used to establish a connection to the database that the data source object represents. It looks like the HANA JDBC driver team will most likely go with multi-release JARs. If everything goes as planned we’ll also publish the driver on Maven Central soon. - Jonathan From: Steve Ebersole [mailto:st...@hibernate.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2018 4:21 PM To: Bregler, Jonathan <jonathan.breg...@sap.com> Cc: Sanne Grinovero <sa...@hibernate.org>; hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate support for JDBC drivers targeting multiple JVM versions Out of curiosity, do you have a link to this new java.sql.ShardingKey feature? Other than that, I agree with Sanne - multiple jars (with proper classifier once y'all publish your drivers) is the best option On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 11:35 AM Bregler, Jonathan <jonathan.breg...@sap.com<mailto:jonathan.breg...@sap.com>> wrote: Hi Sanne, Multi-release JARs sound promising.

That would be safer, and also avoid issues with other tools beyond Hibernate ORM. - http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238 Thanks, Sanne On 12 March 2018 at 15:27, Bregler, Jonathan <jonathan.breg...@sap.com<mailto:jonathan.breg...@sap.com>> wrote: > Hi, > > in a recent version of the HANA JDBC driver the new JDBC 4.3 features that > came with Java 9 have been implemented.
