: Support MYSQL_TYPE_JSON datatype
: buffering available socket buffer for faster results (specifically for huge resultset)
: improve text performance parsing date/time/timestamp resultset
: ability to always refresh SSL certificate
: possible NullPointerException when connection lost to database using aurora configuration with one node
: batch using multi-send can hang when using query timeout
