Description

HikariCP (https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP) is an alternative JDBC connection pooling library, and according to https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/tomcat-hikaricp is many times faster than Apache DBCP, which is what we use in NiFi today for DBCPConnectionPool.

This Jira proposes the addition of a DBCPService implementation using HikariCP as the connection pooling library.
