Streaming two tables results in Communication Failure using JDBC connector mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga

[Man yam]

Hi all

I am trying to scan two large tables in parallel.
I open two connections and set the statement fetchsize to
Integer.MIN_VALUE to stream both the tables.

During the middle of the scanning one of the connection goes away
with the following error message.

java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: java.io.EOFException, underlying cause: null

java.io.EOFException
at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readFully(MysqlIO.java:1394)
at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.reuseAndReadPacket(MysqlIO.java:1570)

at com.mysql.jdbc.RowDataDynamic.next(RowDataDynamic.java:285)
at com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet.next(ResultSet.java:2490)

I am able to stream one table without a problem but not both
simultaneously even though I use two different connections.

Is this a bug in MySQL Driver or am
I doing something wrong ?

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
