Description

Java 9 has introduced new classes and methods into java.sql. and javax.sql. At a minimum, we will need to stub these out and return an unimplemented feature exception. For instance, Java 9 introduces a new interface called java.sql.ShardingKey.

Right now, a Derby server built on Java 8 will fail the UnsupportedVetter test because of these new classes and methods.
