/**
 * Interface for validating database connections.
 * This interface can be implemented by a class in order to provide custom
 * database connection validation. To use the custom validator class make
 * sure you call the {@code setValidator} method in either the
 * {@code ConnectionPool} object or the {@code ConnectionPoolManager}
 * in your code (or use the properties file version with the pool manager).
 * NOTE: The connection passed to the validator is the
 * raw connection from the driver, and has none of the wrapper protection
 * afforded by the pooling mechanism. Implementations should take care to
 * only check the connection's viability, and never make unexpected alterations.
 * Failure to follow this could result in unpredictable pool behaviour.
