Patching the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver

Patching the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver

摘要

This blog post describes a recent contribution from Zalando to the Postgres JDBC driver to address a long-standing issue with the driver’s integration with Postgres’ logical replication that resulted in runaway Write-Ahead Log (WAL) growth. We will describe the issue, how it affected us at Zalando, and detail the fix made upstream in the JDBC driver that fixes the issue for Debezium and all other clients of the Postgres JDBC driver.
