I am running a java application with MySQL as the DB server. DB is a AWS RDS. The MySQL connector is published under GNU/GPL so it has to be substituted with something more lenient. Maria DB client claimed to be compatible. But ever since MariaDB client is being used we are seeing the below intermittent issue during DB intensive activities:
Excption:-

I have tried increasing the time_wait and max_allowed_packet to the maximum allowed but the issue still exists.
Versions:- MySQL - 5.7.26 MariaDB connector - 2.6.2
