Creating custom connection pool in Spring Boot application

Question

I'm writing a Spring Boot application which connects with Snowflake Data Warehouse and execute SQL queries on it. I have written a Configuration class for configuring Datasource for connecting to Snowflake Data Warehouse as follows:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})
public class DBConfig {

    Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DBConfig.class);
    @Bean
    JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate() throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException {
        logger.info("-----Configuring JDBCTemplate------");
        SnowflakeBasicDataSource dataSource = new SnowflakeBasicDataSource();
        dataSource.setServerName("<myserver>.snowflakecomputing.com");
        dataSource.setUser("<my_username>");
        dataSource.setPassword("<my_password>");
        dataSource.setWarehouse("DEMO_WH");
        dataSource.setDatabaseName("DEMO_DB");
        dataSource.setSchema("PUBLIC");
        return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
    }
}

My pom.xml looks like as follows:

I have to use a connection pool for this data source in my Spring boot application.

How can I use HikariCP connection pool in my application which can work perfectly fine with my Customized DataSource?

------EDIT --- Thanks for providing solution, finally my working code looks like

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })
public class DBConfig {

    Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DBConfig.class);

    @Bean
    JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate() throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException {
        logger.info("-----Configuring JDBCTemplate------");

        HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
        config.setDriverClassName("net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeDriver");
        // config.setDataSourceProperties(properties);
        config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:snowflake://<myserver>.snowflakecomputing.com/?warehouse=DEMO_WH&db=DEMO_DB&schema=PUBLIC");
        config.setUsername("<my_username>");
        config.setPassword("<my_password>");
        HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(config);

        return new JdbcTemplate(ds);
    }
}

See setting SnowflakeDriver with Hikari:

  HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();    
  config.setDriverClassName("com.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeDriver");    
  config.setDataSourceProperties(properties);    
  config.setJdbcUrl(connectStr);    
  HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(config);
