hikari-cp

A Clojure wrapper to HikariCP - "zero-overhead" production ready JDBC connection pool.

Disclaimer

hikari-cp targets only Java version 8.

Installation

Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:

[hikari-cp "1.2.2"]

Plus, add the database driver you want to use.

Configuration options

Option	Required	Default value	Description
:auto-commit	No	true	This property controls the default auto-commit behavior of connections returned from the pool. It is a boolean value.
:read-only	No	false	This property controls whether Connections obtained from the pool are in read-only mode by default.
:connection-timeout	No	30000	This property controls the maximum number of milliseconds that a client will wait for a connection from the pool. If this time is exceeded without a connection becoming available, a SQLException will be thrown. 1000ms is the minimum value.
:validation-timeout	No	5000	This property controls the maximum amount of time that a connection will be tested for aliveness. This value must be less than the :connection-timeout. The lowest accepted validation timeout is 1000ms (1 second).
:idle-timeout	No	600000	This property controls the maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) that a connection is allowed to sit idle in the pool.
:max-lifetime	No	1800000	This property controls the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool. A value of 0 indicates no maximum lifetime (infinite lifetime).
:minimum-idle	No	10	This property controls the minimum number of idle connections that HikariCP tries to maintain in the pool.
:maximum-pool-size	No	10	This property controls the maximum size that the pool is allowed to reach, including both idle and in-use connections. Basically this value will determine the maximum number of actual connections to the database backend.
:pool-name	No	Auto-generated	This property represents a user-defined name for the connection pool and appears mainly in logging and JMX management consoles to identify pools and pool configurations.
:adapter	Yes	None	This property sets the database adapter. Please check Adapters and corresponding datasource class names for the full list of supported adapters and their datasource class names.
:username	No	None	This property sets the default authentication username used when obtaining Connections from the underlying driver.
:password	No	None	This property sets the default authentication password used when obtaining Connections from the underlying driver.
:database-name	No	None	This property sets the database name.
:server-name	No	Depends on the adapter	This property sets the hostname client connects to.
:port-number	No	Depends on the adapter	This property sets the port clients connects on.
:connection-test-query	No	None	If your driver supports JDBC4 we strongly recommend not setting this property. This is for "legacy" databases that do not support the JDBC4 Connection.isValid() API. This is the query that will be executed just before a connection is given to you from the pool to validate that the connection to the database is still alive.

You can also add other datasource-specific configuration options. Keywords will be converted to the camelCase format add added as a datasource property:

;; {:tcp-keep-alive true} will be:
(.addDataSourceProperty config "tcpKeepAlive" true)

Please note: All time values are specified in milliseconds.

Usage

PostgreSQL example

(ns hikari-cp.example
  (:require [hikari-cp.core :refer :all]
            [clojure.java.jdbc :as jdbc]))

(def datasource-options {:auto-commit        true
                         :read-only          false
                         :connection-timeout 30000
                         :validation-timeout 5000
                         :idle-timeout       600000
                         :max-lifetime       1800000
                         :minimum-idle       10
                         :maximum-pool-size  10
                         :pool-name          "db-pool"
                         :adapter            "postgresql"
                         :username           "username"
                         :password           "password"
                         :database-name      "database"
                         :server-name        "localhost"
                         :port-number        5432})

(def datasource
  (make-datasource datasource-options))

(defn -main [& args]
  (jdbc/with-db-connection [conn {:datasource datasource}]
    (let [rows (jdbc/query conn "SELECT * FROM table")]
      (println rows)))
  (close-datasource datasource))

H2 minimal config example

(def datasource-options {:adapter "h2"
                         :url     "jdbc:h2:~/test"})

Notice

make-datasource will throw IllegalArgumentException when invalid arguments are provided:

(make-datasource (dissoc config :username :database-name))
;; IllegalArgumentException: Invalid configuration options: (:username :database-name)
