Version

• Metabase Version: v0.53.9
• Doris Version: 4.0.5
• Driver Version: Latest [metabase-doris-driver.jar](https://velodb-bi-connector-1316291683.cos.ap-hongkong.myqcloud.com/Metabase/latest/doris.metabase-driver.jar)

Description

The current Doris Metabase driver is incompatible with recent Metabase releases (v0.50.x - v0.53.x). When attempting to initialize the driver or connect to a Doris instance, Metabase throws a FileNotFoundException because it can no longer find the legacy metabase.driver-api namespace.

Metabase has deprecated and removed metabase.driver-api in favor of a new driver structure in their recent versions.

Analysis

The error Could not locate metabase/driver_api/core__init.class indicates that the driver is trying to require metabase.driver-api, which was removed in Metabase's major internal refactoring (Migration to Driver API v2).

Affected File: metabase/driver/doris.clj
Root Cause:

;; The following line in the driver source is incompatible with Metabase v0.50+
(ns metabase.driver.doris
  (:require [metabase.driver-api :as driver-api] ...))

Expected Behavior

The driver should be updated to support the Metabase Shared Dependencies and the new Driver Namespace (metabase.driver) to be compatible with Metabase v0.50.0 and above.
