-Previously, we used to install Python and Java MySQL connectors using the official MySQL packages repository.

-it's advised to disable installing these packages from the MySQL repository (which we previously added)
-and install older versions instead.

-Edit the file ``/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community.repo`` to add the line
-"exclude=mysql-connector-python,mysql-connector-java" under the ``[mysql-connectors-community]``
