How to use spring data jpa with redshift - spring-boot

Question

We have a redshift database with all the necessary data.
We are building materialized views on a MySQL database for our application, but until that is done I want to use the redshift DB for development.
My problem is that once I add the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency, spring boot cant load the redshift driver.
I opened a new project to recreate the problem.
gradle.build:
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '2.1.2.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-
plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-
data-jpa'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-redshift:1.11.482'
compile 'com.amazon.redshift:redshift-jdbc42-no-
awssdk:1.2.18.1036'
}
application.properties:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:redshift://redshift.url.com:5439/dbName
spring.datasource.username=user
spring.datasource.password=******
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.amazon.redshift.jdbc42.Driver
The Error I'm getting:
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceConfiguration$Hikari.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.amazon.redshift.jdbc42.Driver

Answer 1

You also need to add Amazon's Redshift repository to your build.gradle file alongwith the dependency for downloading the respective jar.
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "http://redshift-maven-repository.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/release"
}
}
