Can one of the admins verify this patch?

Hi @mmyslyvtsev,

many thanks for your contribution.

Before we can review your pull request, we need you to sign Oracle Contributor Agreement. Please note, that it takes a while until the OCA is officially approved and listed on the page linked above (which is a relevant list for us). Furthermore, nowadays we unfortunately cannot spend as much time with the PRs and review as we'd like to, so there are some delays to be expected even from our side.

Also to have the things nicely organised, every pull request should have a issue opened in our bugtracker. And it is a good practice to place mutually links from github to JIRA and vice versa.

And also provide e2e tests with connectors with native async/nio support.

Thanks, Libor

I'd be very interested in seeing this merged, or else finding out what changes need to be made to get it into a mergeable state.

What is needed to revive this pull request? It would be very valuable.
