Hi Marubun,
The JDBC drivers got changed from 11.0 version as compared to the previous versions. So you need to update the driver class names.
As far as the JDBC connection pool is concerned its nothing related to the metadata. Connection pooling helps in reusing the existing connection rather than making connection for every request . Using pool helps in performance.
No criteria for selecting the JDBC Pool with respect to Metadata.
The pool size properties default values, can be edited from the cluster properties:
jdbcConnection.pooling.minPoolSize.defaultValue
=3
jdbcConnection.pooling.maxPoolSize.defaultValue=15
Logs can be seen in gateway log file.
