原因分析

当数据库重启或数据库空闲连接超过设置的最大timemout时间，数据库会强行断开已有的链接，最大timeout时间可以通过一下命令查询：

show global variables like "wait_timeout";

解决办法

为了避免空闲时间过长超过最大空闲时间而被断开，我们设置三个配置：

validationQuery: SELECT 1
testWhileIdle: true
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis: 28000

其中timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis需要小于mysql的wait_timeout

但是这种方法无法避免重启的情况，不过一般数据库不会频繁重启，影响不大，如果非得频繁重启，可以通过设置testOnBorrow，即申请连接的时候先试一试连接是否可用，不过带来的影响就是性能降低，需要根据实际需求合理取舍
