spring boot 2 and Redshift connectivity. - spring-boot

Question

I'm trying to connect spring boot2 with redshift ,
Since spring boot 2 have uses hikariCP by default and hikariCP doesn't have explicit support . Does any one have successfully connected to redshift ?
Here is my Spring boot 2 properties
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.amazon.redshift.jdbc41.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:redshift://<someHost>.redshift.amazonaws.com:5439/XXX
spring.datasource.username=xxxxxx
spring.datasource.password=xxxxxx
spring.datasource.testWhileIdle = true
spring.datasource.validationQuery = SELECT 1
spring.jpa.show-sql = true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=validate
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL9Dialect
Maven POM.XML

When i start the server i get below warning and error

Answer 1

Actually, this is not an exception. This is a log generated by LobCreatorBuilderImpl:124. This notifies you that the Redshift implementation of the Connection class does not support the createClob() operation.
What you can do is set spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation to true.
Once you do, you will now have a different log which says:
HHH000421: Disabling contextual LOB creation as hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation is true
That is much cleaner. And you will have to deal with Redshift not being able to create clobs anyway.
