    Description

      I have tried to use MariaDB 10.3 with NiFi Registry, with no luck. Although there should be a way to enable MariaDB as a backend service instead of H2.

       

      Environment:

      NiFi Registry 0.3.0 (inside Docker, but this does not really affect the output)

      MariaDB Java Client 2.3.0 - mariadb-java-client-2.3.0.jar (not 2.4.1 due to https://github.com/flyway/flyway/issues/2289#issuecomment-459481080)

      Configuration:

      nifi-registry.properties:

      nifi.registry.db.url=jdbc:mariadb://database:3306/db
      nifi.registry.db.driver.class=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
      nifi.registry.db.driver.directory=/opt/nifi-registry/libs/
      nifi.registry.db.username=root
      nifi.registry.db.password=myPassword

      The mariadb-java-client-2.3.0.jar was placed to

      /opt/nifi-registry/libs/

       

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. unpack nifi registry to /opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-0.3.0
      2. set the nifi-registry.properties as above
      3. add mariadb-java-client-2.3.0.jar to /opt/nifi-registry/libs/
      4. start

      Or alternatively, use the Docker image I was developping and during which I found this issue.

      The docker-compose file is https://github.com/michalklempa/docker-nifi-registry/blob/master/docker-compose.mariadb.yml

       

      Expected behavior: working Registry

      Actual behavior:

      There are various SQL dialect differences.

      I was able to shorten TENANT_IDENTITY varchar to 1096:

      SIGNING_KEY.TENANT_IDENTITY VARCHAR(1096)

      Then there was mariadb complaining about lenght of constraint name UNIQUE__BUNDLE_VERSION_DEPENDENCY_BUNDLE_ID_GROUP_ARTIFACT_VERSION

      and finally the DROP CONSTRAINT for FOREIGN KEY syntax is different.

      Reverse diff of my changes can be seen here:

      https://github.com/michalklempa/docker-nifi-registry/commit/2a78f5f6df0b00fa3011da9ee49c65a412012fcc

       

      I am unsure is such changes are compatible or not with the Registry codebase. Further work is required. And since I was creating the schema manually, NiFi Registry did not start up either - since it found existing schema without some required metadata.
