title: HikariCP and Spring JPA
body: <p>I was reading the documentation of Spring Boot and HikariCP and would like to integrate it to my SB app, but I got a little confused when it comes to Hikari and JPA.<br>
  I'm currently using Spring Data (<code>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</code>) and my questions are: can I use HikariCP when using JPA? will it interfere on the way Hibernate connects to database? should I do some other configuration to make Hibernate using HikariCP? it wasn't really clear on documentations </p>
