Question

Using Hikari pool with Spring boot. Properties:
HikariPool-1 - configuration:
allowPoolSuspension.............false

connectionTestQuery............."SELECT 2 FROM DUAL"
connectionTimeout...............60001
dataSource......................none
dataSourceClassName.............none

jdbcUrl.........................jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/xx?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8
leakDetectionThreshold..........0
maxLifetime.....................30001
maximumPoolSize.................10
metricRegistry..................none

DB connection used in service method that is using #Repository methods only, no direct usage of DataSource.
Service Class annotated with #Transactional.
The problem: A new connection requested for every method call, until maximum connections used and then pool stuck:

So, what i'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

The cause was class being annotated with #Transactional and other method used by server-sent-event from UI was returning Flux<ServerSentEvent<Data>>. So #Transactional caused connection to be opened and never closed.

Answer 2

Remove minimumIdle
minimumIdle
This property controls the minimum number of idle connections that HikariCP tries to maintain in the pool. If the idle connections dip below this value and total connections in the pool are less than maximumPoolSize, HikariCP will make a best effort to add additional connections quickly and efficiently. However, for maximum performance and responsiveness to spike demands, we recommend not setting this value and instead allowing HikariCP to act as a fixed size connection pool.
Remove dataSourceClassName
MySQL DataSource is known to be broken with respect to network timeout support. Use jdbcUrl configuration instead.
Also follow MySQL Configuration tips and Hibernate
