TDengine Java Connector

English | 简体中文

'taos-jdbcdriver' is TDengine's official Java language connector, which allows Java developers to develop applications that access the TDengine database. 'taos-jdbcdriver' implements the interface of the JDBC driver standard and provides two forms of connectors. One is to connect to a TDengine instance natively through the TDengine client driver (taosc), which supports functions including data writing, querying, subscription, schemaless writing, and bind interface. And the other is to connect to a TDengine instance through the REST interface provided by taosAdapter (2.4.0.0 and later). REST connections implement has a slight differences to compare the set of features implemented and native connections.

tdengine-connector

The preceding diagram shows two ways for a Java app to access TDengine via connector:

  • JDBC native connection: Java applications use TSDBDriver on physical node 1 (pnode1) to call client-driven directly (libtaos.so or taos.dll) APIs to send writing and query requests to taosd instances located on physical node 2 (pnode2).
  • JDBC REST connection: The Java application encapsulates the SQL as a REST request via RestfulDriver, sends it to the REST server of physical node 2 (taosAdapter), requests TDengine server through the REST server, and returns the result.

Using REST connection, which does not rely on TDengine client drivers.It can be cross-platform more convenient and flexible but introduce about 30% lower performance than native connection.

Note:

TDengine's JDBC driver implementation is as consistent as possible with the relational database driver. Still, there are differences in the use scenarios and technical characteristics of TDengine and relational object databases, so 'taos-jdbcdriver' also has some differences from traditional JDBC drivers. You need to pay attention to the following points when using:

  • TDengine does not currently support delete operations for individual data records.
  • Transactional operations are not currently supported.

Supported platforms

Native connection supports the same platform as TDengine client-driven support. REST connection supports all platforms that can run Java.

Version support

Please refer to Version Support List.

TDengine DataType vs. Java DataType

TDengine currently supports timestamp, number, character, Boolean type, and the corresponding type conversion with Java is as follows:

TDengine DataType JDBCType
TIMESTAMP java.sql.Timestamp
INT java.lang.Integer
BIGINT java.lang.Long
FLOAT java.lang.Float
DOUBLE java.lang.Double
SMALLINT java.lang.Short
TINYINT java.lang.Byte
BOOL java.lang.Boolean
BINARY byte array
NCHAR java.lang.String
JSON java.lang.String

Note: Only TAG supports JSON types

Installation steps

Pre-installation preparation

Before using Java Connector to connect to the database, the following conditions are required.

  • Java 1.8 or above runtime environment and Maven 3.6 or above installed
  • TDengine client driver installed (required for native connections, not required for REST connections), please refer to Installing Client Driver

Install the connectors

Build with Maven

Add following dependency in the pom.xml file of your Maven project:

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.taosdata.jdbc</groupId>
 <artifactId>taos-jdbcdriver</artifactId>
 <version>3.0.*</version>
</dependency>

Build with source code

You can build Java connector from source code after clone TDengine project:

git clone https://github.com/taosdata/taos-connector-jdbc.git
cd taos-connector-jdbc
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

After compilation, a jar package of taos-jdbcdriver-3.0.0-dist .jar is generated in the target directory, and the compiled jar file is automatically placed in the local Maven repository.

Establish a connection

TDengine's JDBC URL specification format is: jdbc:[TAOS| TAOS-RS]://[host_name]:[port]/[database_name]? [user={user}|&password={password}|&charset={charset}|&cfgdir={config_dir}|&locale={locale}|&timezone={timezone}]

For establishing connections, native connections differ slightly from REST connections.

Native connection

Class.forName("com.taosdata.jdbc.TSDBDriver");
String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:TAOS://taosdemo.com:6030/test?user=root&password=taosdata";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl);

In the above example, TSDBDriver, which uses a JDBC native connection, establishes a connection to a hostname taosdemo.com, port 6030 (the default port for TDengine), and a database named test. In this URL, the user name user is specified as root, and the password is taosdata.

Note: With JDBC native connections, taos-jdbcdriver relies on the client driver (libtaos.so on Linux; taos.dll on Windows).

The configuration parameters in the URL are as follows:

  • user: Log in to the TDengine username. The default value is 'root'.
  • password: User login password, the default value is 'taosdata'.
  • cfgdir: client configuration file directory path, default '/etc/taos' on Linux OS, 'C:/TDengine/cfg' on Windows OS.
  • charset: The character set used by the client, the default value is the system character set.
  • locale: Client locale, by default, use the system's current locale.
  • timezone: The time zone used by the client, the default value is the system's current time zone.
  • batchfetch: true: pulls result sets in batches when executing queries; false: pulls result sets row by row. The default value is: false. Enabling batch pulling and obtaining a batch of data can improve query performance when the query data volume is large.
  • batchErrorIgnore:true: When executing statement executeBatch, if there is a SQL execution failure in the middle, the following SQL will continue to be executed. false: No more statements after the failed SQL are executed. The default value is: false.

For more information about JDBC native connections, see Video Tutorial.

Connect using the TDengine client-driven configuration file

When you use a JDBC native connection to connect to a TDengine cluster, you can use the TDengine client driver configuration file to specify parameters such as firstEp and secondEp of the cluster in the configuration file as below:

  1. Do not specify hostname and port in Java applications.
public Connection getConn() throws Exception{
  Class.forName("com.taosdata.jdbc.TSDBDriver");
  String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:TAOS://:/test?user=root&password=taosdata";
  Properties connProps = new Properties();
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_CHARSET, "UTF-8");
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_LOCALE, "en_US.UTF-8");
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_TIME_ZONE, "UTC-8");
  Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, connProps);
  return conn;
}
  1. specify the firstEp and the secondEp in the configuration file taos.cfg
# first fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for TDengine system
firstEp               cluster_node1:6030

# second fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for TDengine system, for cluster only
secondEp              cluster_node2:6030

# default system charset
# charset               UTF-8

# system locale
# locale                en_US.UTF-8

In the above example, JDBC uses the client's configuration file to establish a connection to a hostname cluster_node1, port 6030, and a database named test. When the firstEp node in the cluster fails, JDBC attempts to connect to the cluster using secondEp.

In TDengine, as long as one node in firstEp and secondEp is valid, the connection to the cluster can be established normally.

Note: The configuration file here refers to the configuration file on the machine where the application that calls the JDBC Connector is located, the default path is /etc/taos/taos.cfg on Linux, and the default path is C://TDengine/cfg/taos.cfg on Windows.

REST connection

Class.forName("com.taosdata.jdbc.rs.RestfulDriver");
String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:TAOS-RS://taosdemo.com:6041/test?user=root&password=taosdata";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl);

In the above example, a RestfulDriver with a JDBC REST connection is used to establish a connection to a database named test with hostname taosdemo.com on port 6041. The URL specifies the user name as root and the password as taosdata.

There is no dependency on the client driver when Using a JDBC REST connection. Compared to a JDBC native connection, only the following are required: 1.

  1. driverClass specified as "com.taosdata.jdbc.rs.RestfulDriver".
  2. jdbcUrl starting with "jdbc:TAOS-RS://".
  3. use 6041 as the connection port.

The configuration parameters in the URL are as follows.

  • user: Login TDengine user name, default value 'root'.
  • password: user login password, default value 'taosdata'.
  • batchfetch: true: pull the result set in batch when executing the query; false: pull the result set row by row. The default value is true. batchfetch uses HTTP for data transfer. The JDBC REST connection supports bulk data pulling function. taos-jdbcdriver and TDengine transfer data via WebSocket connection. Compared with HTTP, WebSocket enables JDBC REST connection to support large data volume querying and improve query performance.
  • charset: specify the charset to parse the string, this parameter is valid only when set batchfetch to true.
  • batchErrorIgnore: true: when executing executeBatch of Statement, if one SQL execution fails in the middle, continue to execute the following SQL. false: no longer execute any statement after the failed SQL. The default value is: false.
  • httpConnectTimeout: REST connection timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 5000 ms.
  • httpSocketTimeout: socket timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 5000 ms. It only takes effect when batchfetch is false.
  • messageWaitTimeout: message transmission timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 3000 ms. It only takes effect when batchfetch is true.
  • useSSL: connecting Securely Using SSL. true: using SSL conneciton, false: not using SSL connection.

Note: Some configuration items (e.g., locale, timezone) do not work in the REST connection.

  • Unlike the native connection method, the REST interface is stateless. When using the JDBC REST connection, you need to specify the database name of the table and super table in SQL. For example.
INSERT INTO test.t1 USING test.weather (ts, temperature) TAGS('beijing') VALUES(now, 24.6);
  • If dbname is specified in the URL, JDBC REST connections will use /rest/sql/dbname as the URL for REST requests by default, and there is no need to specify dbname in SQL. For example, if the URL is jdbc:TAOS-RS://127.0.0.1:6041/test, then the SQL can be executed: insert into t1 using weather(ts, temperature) tags('beijing') values(now, 24.6);

Specify the URL and Properties to get the connection

In addition to getting the connection from the specified URL, you can use Properties to specify parameters when the connection is established.

Note:

  • The client parameter set in the application is process-level. If you want to update the parameters of the client, you need to restart the application. This is because the client parameter is a global parameter that takes effect only the first time the application is set.
  • The following sample code is based on taos-jdbcdriver-3.0.0.
public Connection getConn() throws Exception{
  Class.forName("com.taosdata.jdbc.TSDBDriver");
  String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:TAOS://taosdemo.com:6030/test?user=root&password=taosdata";
  Properties connProps = new Properties();
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_CHARSET, "UTF-8");
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_LOCALE, "en_US.UTF-8");
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_TIME_ZONE, "UTC-8");
  connProps.setProperty("debugFlag", "135");
  connProps.setProperty("maxSQLLength", "1048576");
  Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, connProps);
  return conn;
}

public Connection getRestConn() throws Exception{
  Class.forName("com.taosdata.jdbc.rs.RestfulDriver");
  String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:TAOS-RS://taosdemo.com:6041/test?user=root&password=taosdata";
  Properties connProps = new Properties();
  connProps.setProperty(TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_BATCH_LOAD, "true");
  Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, connProps);
  return conn;
}

In the above example, a connection is established to taosdemo.com, port is 6030/6041, and database named test. The connection specifies the user name as root and the password as taosdata in the URL and specifies the character set, language environment, time zone, and whether to enable bulk fetching in the connProps.

The configuration parameters in properties are as follows.

  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_USER: Login TDengine user name, default value 'root'.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_PASSWORD: user login password, default value 'taosdata'.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_BATCH_LOAD: true: pull the result set in batch when executing query; false: pull the result set row by row. The default value is: false.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_BATCH_ERROR_IGNORE: true: when executing executeBatch of Statement, if there is a SQL execution failure in the middle, continue to execute the following sq. false: no longer execute any statement after the failed SQL. The default value is: false.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_CONFIG_DIR: Only works when using JDBC native connection. Client configuration file directory path, default value /etc/taos on Linux OS, default value C:/TDengine/cfg on Windows OS.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_CHARSET: The character set used by the client, the default value is the system setting.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_LOCALE: this only takes effect when using JDBC native connection. Client language environment, the default value is system current locale.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_TIME_ZONE: only takes effect when using JDBC native connection. In the time zone used by the client, the default value is the system's current time zone.
  • TSDBDriver.HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT: REST connection timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 5000 ms. It only takes effect when using JDBC REST connection.
  • TSDBDriver.HTTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT: socket timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 5000 ms. It only takes effect when using JDBC REST connection and batchfetch is false.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_MESSAGE_WAIT_TIMEOUT: message transmission timeout in milliseconds, the default value is 3000 ms. It only takes effect when using JDBC REST connection and batchfetch is true.
  • TSDBDriver.PROPERTY_KEY_USE_SSL: connecting Securely Using SSL. true: using SSL conneciton, false: not using SSL connection. It only takes effect when using using JDBC REST connection. For JDBC native connections, you can specify other parameters, such as log level, SQL length, etc., by specifying URL and Properties. For more detailed configuration, please refer to Client Configuration.

Priority of configuration parameters

If the configuration parameters are duplicated in the URL, Properties, or client configuration file, the priority of the parameters, from highest to lowest, are as follows:

  1. JDBC URL parameters, as described above, can be specified in the parameters of the JDBC URL.
  2. Properties connProps
  3. the configuration file taos.cfg of the TDengine client driver when using a native connection

For example, if you specify the password as taosdata in the URL and specify the password as taosdemo in the Properties simultaneously. In this case, JDBC will use the password in the URL to establish the connection.

Usage examples

Create database and tables

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

// create database
stmt.executeUpdate("create database if not exists db");

// use database
stmt.executeUpdate("use db");

// create table
stmt.executeUpdate("create table if not exists tb (ts timestamp, temperature int, humidity float)");

Note: If you do not use use db to specify the database, all subsequent operations on the table need to add the database name as a prefix, such as db.tb.

Insert data

// insert data
int affectedRows = stmt.executeUpdate("insert into tb values(now, 23, 10.3) (now + 1s, 20, 9.3)");

System.out.println("insert " + affectedRows + " rows.");

now is an internal function. The default is the current time of the client's computer. now + 1s represents the current time of the client plus 1 second, followed by the number representing the unit of time: a (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks), n (months), y (years).

Querying data

// query data
ResultSet resultSet = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tb");

Timestamp ts = null;
int temperature = 0;
float humidity = 0;
while(resultSet.next()){

    ts = resultSet.getTimestamp(1);
    temperature = resultSet.getInt(2);
    humidity = resultSet.getFloat("humidity");

    System.out.printf("%s, %d, %s\n", ts, temperature, humidity);
}

The query is consistent with operating a relational database. When using subscripts to get the contents of the returned fields, starting from 1, it is recommended to use the field names to get them.

Handling exceptions

After an error is reported, the error message and error code can be obtained through SQLException.

try (Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) {
    // executeQuery
    ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sql);
    // print result
    printResult(resultSet);
} catch (SQLException e) {
    System.out.println("ERROR Message: " + e.getMessage());
    System.out.println("ERROR Code: " + e.getErrorCode());
    e.printStackTrace();
}

There are three types of error codes that the JDBC connector can report:

  • Error code of the JDBC driver itself (error code between 0x2301 and 0x2350)
  • Error code of the native connection method (error code between 0x2351 and 0x2400)
  • Error code of other TDengine function modules

For specific error codes, please refer to.

Writing data via parameter binding

TDengine's native JDBC connection implementation has significantly improved its support for data writing (INSERT) scenarios via bind interface. Writing data in this way avoids the resource consumption of SQL syntax parsing, resulting in significant write performance improvements in many cases.

Note.

  • JDBC REST connections do not currently support bind interface
  • The following sample code is based on taos-jdbcdriver-3.0.0
  • The setString method should be called for binary type data, and the setNString method should be called for nchar type data
  • both setString and setNString require the user to declare the width of the corresponding column in the size parameter of the table definition
public class ParameterBindingDemo {

Schemaless Writing

TDengine has added the ability to schemaless writing. It is compatible with InfluxDB's Line Protocol, OpenTSDB's telnet line protocol, and OpenTSDB's JSON format protocol. See schemaless writing for details.

Note.

  • JDBC REST connections do not currently support schemaless writes
  • The following sample code is based on taos-jdbcdriver-3.0.0
public class SchemalessInsertTest {
    private static final String host = "127.0.0.1";
    private static final String lineDemo = "st,t1=3i64,t2=4f64,t3=\"t3\" c1=3i64,c3=L\"passit\",c2=false,c4=4f64 1626006833639000000";
    private static final String telnetDemo = "stb0_0 1626006833 4 host=host0 interface=eth0";
    private static final String jsonDemo = "{\"metric\": \"meter_current\",\"timestamp\": 1346846400,\"value\": 10.3, \"tags\": {\"groupid\": 2, \"location\": \"Beijing\", \"id\": \"d1001\"}}";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
        final String url = "jdbc:TAOS://" + host + ":6030/?user=root&password=taosdata";
        try (Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url)) {
            init(connection);

            SchemalessWriter writer = new SchemalessWriter(connection);
            writer.write(lineDemo, SchemalessProtocolType.LINE, SchemalessTimestampType.NANO_SECONDS);
            writer.write(telnetDemo, SchemalessProtocolType.TELNET, SchemalessTimestampType.MILLI_SECONDS);
            writer.write(jsonDemo, SchemalessProtocolType.JSON, SchemalessTimestampType.NOT_CONFIGURED);
        }
    }

    private static void init(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
        try (Statement stmt = connection.createStatement()) {
            stmt.executeUpdate("drop database if exists test_schemaless");
            stmt.executeUpdate("create database if not exists test_schemaless");
            stmt.executeUpdate("use test_schemaless");
        }
    }
}

Subscriptions

The TDengine Java Connector supports subscription functionality with the following application API.

Create subscriptions

Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate("create topic if not exists topic_speed as select ts, speed from speed_table");

The two parameters of the subscribe() method have the following meanings.

  • topic_speed: the subscribed topic (i.e., name). This parameter is the unique identifier of the subscription
  • sql: the query statement of the subscription, this statement can only be select statement, only the original data should be queried, and you can query only the data in the positive time order

The above example will use the SQL command select ts, speed from speed_table to create a subscription named topic_speed. If the subscription exists.

Create Consumer

Properties config = new Properties();
config.setProperty("enable.auto.commit", "true");
config.setProperty("group.id", "group1");
config.setProperty("value.deserializer", "com.taosdata.jdbc.tmq.ConsumerTest.ResultDeserializer");

TaosConsumer consumer = new TaosConsumer<>(config);
  • enable.auto.commit: whether to allow auto commit.
  • group.id: group id of consumer
  • value.deserializer: The result set deserialization method, you can implement com.taosdata.jdbc.tmq.ReferenceDeserializer, and specify the result set bean to achieve deserialization. You can also inherit com.taosdata.jdbc.tmq.Deserializer to customize the deserialization method according to the resultSet of SQL. For other parameters, please refer to: Consumer parameters

poll data

while(true) {
    ConsumerRecords<ResultBean> records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100));
        for (ResultBean record : records) {
            process(record);
        }
}

pollgets one message per call. Please choose a reasonable frequency of callingpollas needed (such asDuration.ofMillis(100)` in the example), otherwise it will cause unnecessary pressure on the server.

Close subscriptions

consumer.close();

example:

public abstract class ConsumerLoop {
    private final TaosConsumer<ResultBean> consumer;
    private final List<String> topics;
    private final AtomicBoolean shutdown;
    private final CountDownLatch shutdownLatch;

    public ConsumerLoop() throws SQLException {
        Properties config = new Properties();
        config.setProperty("msg.with.table.name", "true");
        config.setProperty("enable.auto.commit", "true");
        config.setProperty("group.id", "group1");
        config.setProperty("value.deserializer", "com.taosdata.jdbc.tmq.ConsumerTest.ResultDeserializer");

        this.consumer = new TaosConsumer<>(config);
        this.topics = Collections.singletonList("topic_speed");
        this.shutdown = new AtomicBoolean(false);
        this.shutdownLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);
    }

    public abstract void process(ResultBean result);

    public void pollData() throws SQLException {
        try {
            consumer.subscribe(topics);

            while (!shutdown.get()) {
                ConsumerRecords<ResultBean> records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100));
                for (ResultBean record : records) {
                    process(record);
                }
            }
        } finally {
             consumer.close();
            shutdownLatch.countDown();
        }
    }

    public void shutdown() throws InterruptedException {
        shutdown.set(true);
        shutdownLatch.await();
    }

    static class ResultDeserializer extends ReferenceDeserializer<ResultBean> {

    }

    static class ResultBean {
        private Timestamp ts;
        private int speed;

        public Timestamp getTs() {
            return ts;
        }

        public void setTs(Timestamp ts) {
            this.ts = ts;
        }

        public int getSpeed() {
            return speed;
        }

        public void setSpeed(int speed) {
            this.speed = speed;
        }
    }
}

Use with connection pool

HikariCP

Example usage is as follows.

 public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
    HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
    // jdbc properties
    config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:TAOS://127.0.0.1:6030/log");
    config.setUsername("root");
    config.setPassword("taosdata");
    // connection pool configurations
    config.setMinimumIdle(10);           //minimum number of idle connection
    config.setMaximumPoolSize(10);      //maximum number of connection in the pool
    config.setConnectionTimeout(30000); //maximum wait milliseconds for get connection from pool
    config.setMaxLifetime(0);       // maximum life time for each connection
    config.setIdleTimeout(0);       // max idle time for recycle idle connection
    config.setConnectionTestQuery("select server_status()"); //validation query

    HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(config); //create datasource

    Connection  connection = ds.getConnection(); // get connection
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); // get statement

    //query or insert
    // ...

    connection.close(); // put back to connection pool
}

getConnection(), you need to call the close() method after you finish using it. It doesn't close the connection. It just puts it back into the connection pool. For more questions about using HikariCP, please see the official instructions.

Druid

Example usage is as follows.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    DruidDataSource dataSource = new DruidDataSource();
    // jdbc properties
    dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.taosdata.jdbc.TSDBDriver");
    dataSource.setUrl(url);
    dataSource.setUsername("root");
    dataSource.setPassword("taosdata");
    // pool configurations
    dataSource.setInitialSize(10);
    dataSource.setMinIdle(10);
    dataSource.setMaxActive(10);
    dataSource.setMaxWait(30000);
    dataSource.setValidationQuery("select server_status()");

    Connection  connection = dataSource.getConnection(); // get connection
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); // get statement
    //query or insert
    // ...

    connection.close(); // put back to connection pool
}

For more questions about using druid, please see Official Instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why is there no performance improvement when using Statement's addBatch() and executeBatch() to perform batch data writing/update?

    Cause: In TDengine's JDBC implementation, SQL statements submitted by addBatch() method are executed sequentially in the order they are added, which does not reduce the number of interactions with the server and does not bring performance improvement.

    Solution: 1. splice multiple values in a single insert statement; 2. use multi-threaded concurrent insertion; 3. use parameter-bound writing

  2. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no taos in java.library.path

    Cause: The program did not find the dependent native library taos.

    Solution: On Windows you can copy C:\TDengine\driver\taos.dll to the C:\Windows\System32 directory, on Linux the following soft link will be created ln -s /usr/local/taos/driver/libtaos.so.x.x.x.x /usr/lib/libtaos.so will work.

  3. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: taos.dll Can't load AMD 64 bit on an IA 32-bit platform

    Cause: Currently, TDengine only supports 64-bit JDK.

    Solution: Reinstall the 64-bit JDK.

  4. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: setByteArray

    Cause: taos-jdbcdriver version 3.* only supports TDengine 3.0 or above.

    Solution: connect TDengine 2.* using taos-jdbcdriver 2.* version.
