Test 3rd party applications integration

[ajnavarro]

To be sure that we keep compatibility with 3rd party applications, we need to create some integration tests for that.

• They should be executed on a separated job after unit tests.
• All supported drivers used to connect should be added as a new integration test.
• We should add on docs a new entry called integrations or supported applications.
• Add tests for the following clients (they are in priority order):
  • JDBC (MariaDB)
    • Query set that is executed by Spark (we don't need to start a spark instance for that, just send that queries over a JDBC connection)
    • Query set executed by Tableau
  • Python Mysql driver
  • pymysql Python driver
  • Go mysql driver
    • Query set that is executed by Grafana.
    • Query set executed by mysqldump (add when the mysqldump is supported, we can ignore before that).
  • MySQL Javascript driver
  • MySQL PHP driver
  • MySQL Ruby driver
  • MySQL .NET driver

@ajnavarro Should we do this in this repo or in another one?

[ajnavarro]

I would say to do on this repo. We need to be sure that we don't break any backward compatibility on any new functionality.

This was done
