Description

I see when running tests on the JDBC connector, I get a warning

Loading class `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. This is deprecated. The new driver class is `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'. The driver is automatically registered via the SPI and manual loading of the driver class is generally unnecessary.
 

I suggest we change the class to be loaded from the old to the new non deprecated class name.

 

I am happy to implement this and do testing on it.
