319319JDBC driver class to load, for example, "org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"
320- NB per https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-jdbc/issues/43 if you are using
321- the Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc6.jar) the correct `jdbc_driver_class` is `"Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"`
320+ 
321+ NOTE: Per https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-jdbc/issues/43, prepending `Java::` to the driver class
322+  may be required if it appears that the driver is not being loaded correctly despite relevant jar(s) being provided by
323+  either via the `jdbc_driver_library` setting or being placed in the Logstash  Java classpath. This is known to be the
324+  case for the Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc6.jar), where the correct `jdbc_driver_class` is
325+  `"Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"`, and may also be the case for other JDBC drivers.
