how to check HikariCP connection pooling is working or not in Java?

Question

I have written following properties in my configuration files I am using Log4j in my application When I am running a project.

I am getting following message.does that mean connection pooling is configured in my project? if not then how it will be?

INFO: internal.ConnectionProviderInitiator - HHH000130: Instantiating explicit connection provider: com.zaxxer.hikari.hibernate.HikariConnectionProvider

I have referred following link also

Datasource settings

hibernate.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
hibernate.datasource.username=root
hibernate.datasource.password=root

HikariCP Settings

hibernate.hikari.dataSource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout=10
hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize=30
hibernate.hikari.minimumIdle=15
hibernate.connection.provider_class=com.zaxxer.hikari.hibernate.HikariConnectionProvider
hibernate.hikari.dataSourceClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource

May be this will useful:#5135015 – Marita

@Marita INFO: internal.ConnectionProviderInitiator - HHH000130: Instantiating explicit connection provider: com.zaxxer.hikari.hibernate.HikariConnectionProvider does this means connection pooling is established.? – Treacherous

Please add poolname and check weather its initiating or not . Obviously initialize connection pool one time only. – Marita

@Marita yes right after loading I am getting INFO: internal.ConnectionProviderInitiator - HHH000130.... into console – Treacherous

Look like your configuration fine for me . – Marita

@Marita yes I am not getting any error while loading application but how I will know that connection pooling is properly configured in my project. – Treacherous

Did you add poolname in properties? once you add you could see started and completed message . – Marita

what's your hibernate version? – Tile

@user7294900 hibernate version is 4 – Treacherous

So … was all of this prior to Springboot 2.0+? I read elsewhere that basically hikari is used essentially by default in 2.0+ – Gadroon

@Gadroon Thanks for replying , sometimes what we read on internet is not always right and in spring boot project with minimal configuration changes we can add HikariCp . – Treacherous

Thanks Tejal, but I suppose from your question and its answers that you were not using springboot nor spring at all. – Gadroon

@Gadroon you are right . – Treacherous

Answer 1

First, configuration is no consistent since maximum < minimumIdle. Those should be set at most to the same value.

hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize=10
hibernate.hikari.minimumIdle=10

If the pools is working you should see 10 ESTABLISHED connections to port 3306 (or mssql 1433 in the example below).

lsof -nP -i :1433 -sTCP:ESTABLISHED

Using ss (socket statistics)

Using netstat (deprecated on some distros in favor of ss)

An excellent way to test. Thanks a lot. – Schall

Answer 2

See HikariCP note about MySQL:

The MySQL DataSource is known to be broken with respect to network timeout support. Use jdbcUrl configuration instead.

You need to remove the below line and Hikari will find the driver

hibernate.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbcUrl This property directs HikariCP to use "DriverManager-based" configuration. We feel that DataSource-based configuration (above) is superior

Also try adding the following as suggested when using Hibernate4:

hibernate.hikari.dataSource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/database
hibernate.hikari.dataSource.user=bart
hibernate.hikari.dataSource.password=51mp50n

Tile

For posterity, I found what appears to be the originating MySQL ticket behind that "known to be broken" comment: Incorrect implementation of Connection.setNetworkTimeout(). The ticket is in limbo. The most recent commentary I could find was this thread from 3 years ago: MySQL datasource: "If in doubt, use JDBC-URL based configuration, instead of DataSource configurations." – Alanson

Answer 3

1. Have you tried using the app to insert/update something in the database? If it fails then it's not working.

2. Another way to test it is change the datasource you provided here: hibernate.hikari.dataSource.url to a non-existing database.

3. Finally, change the <Configuration status="WARN"> to <Configuration status="DEBUG">

1. yes I tried inserting data into db its working fine but how I will know connection pooling is established? 2) .can you elaborate more 3).yes I tried this also – Treacherous

Try changing hibernate.hikari.dataSource.url from jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb to jdbc:mysql://idontexisthost:3306/mydb to check if everything goes down. Also, do you see stuff logging when you insert something into the database? – Valvulitis

Answer 4

You can open MYSQL console and query by typing this query. as an example, I have added 10 connections for the pool. the username of the connection is mafei_connection_test. then you can see the all connection that the MySQL server created and currently opening.
