Yemdjih Kaze Nasser commented on FINERACT-982:
----------------------------------------------
If I'm not mistaken, the docker build from before allowed an option to use
mysql-connector for a containerized run. I think the issue with using
mysql/mariadb connector in dev environment like for running tests still
persists. Unless I've failed to really understand how FINERACT-1177 works, I
think this still persists to some extent.
> Completely ditch use of Drizzle JDBC Driver after all
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FINERACT-982
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-982
> Project: Apache Fineract
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael Vorburger
> Assignee: Yemdjih Kaze Nasser
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: scalability
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> Fineract's use of the un-maintained Drizzle JDBC driver continues to cause
> confusion and pains like FINERACT-980, and note e.g. the proposed removal of
> the alternative MySQL JDBC driver in
> [https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/887.]
> Some of the background to this is recorded e.g. in FINCN-26, FINERACT-761 and
> LEGAL-462.
> LEGAL-462 has clarified that the Fineract ZIP distribution must include
> Drizzle and cannot distribute the MariaDB or MySQL JDBC clients. We CAN, and
> currently (given the confusion in FINERACT-980 apparently do?!) use it for
> tests.
> What if to reduce variability we just removed that old Drizzle JDBC driver
> after all? We could run our tests using (preferably) the very well maintained
> MariaDB JDBC driver client (the actual DB server is a totally separate
> discussion, see FINERACT-896). We would (have to) distribute the ZIP for
> download without a JDBC driver, and just some documentation inviting users to
> DL and add one.
> But the exact situation about distributing in a Docker container image isn't
> clear, to me...
