What's the ETA for supporting Java 21 in the JDBC Driver ?

[Fabich]

Hello,

I have seen this other post about the Java JDBC driver not working in Java 21.

The post is now 3 months old and Java 21 has been available for even longer, is there any update on the topic ?

Can you communicate any ETA of when we can expect the driver to work with Java 21 ?

I know there is a workaround of disabling the Arrow features with EnableArrow=0, but that's not a good solution for us as it decreases the performance when downloading the result.

Thanks

As of now, there is still no official timeline for Java 21 support with Databricks JDBC driver, and the latest version of the JDBC driver (2.34) still uses Arrow 9.0.0. However, Databricks is actively working to update the JDBC driver to support the latest Arrow version, which includes support for Java 21.

Hi,
Any news on this topic?
We recently upgraded to Java 21 (which is out since 1 months) and we had to disable Arrow which is not good for performance.

Hello, unfortunately as of now there is still no ETA of support of JAVA 32 with the Arrow functionality, the team is working on this but still no information of release has been provided

Hi Walter @Walter_C,
This thread was open 13(!) months ago, and there's still no update about Arrow support that will allow upgrading to Java 21. 
Java 17 is outdated. We must get this support ASAP.
Can you please update on ETA?

Thanks in advance,
