Hi Everyone,
I was trying to understand mysql as connector, under the integration runner  i couldn't locate where is the read method defined.
<https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/766ddab895b625d49927d0ed7baa7ad9ae55b607/airbyte-integrations/bases/base-java/src/main/java/io/airbyte/integrations/base/IntegrationRunner.java#L48|https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/766ddab895b625d49927d0ed7baa7ad9ae55b607[…]c/main/java/io/airbyte/integrations/base/IntegrationRunner.java>

Line 107, i could see multiple definitions of read() method, but if someone can point me to the exact definition it would be great.

Have  been hustling since days.

The right place to start would be the `MySqlSource` class. If you see the main method of `MySqlSource`,
```public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    final Source source = new MySqlSource();
    <http://LOGGER.info|LOGGER.info>("starting source: {}", MySqlSource.class);
    new IntegrationRunner(source).run(args);
    <http://LOGGER.info|LOGGER.info>("completed source: {}", MySqlSource.class);
  }```
You will see that the read method of `MySqlSource` is being triggered. `MySqlSource` extends `AbstractJdbcSource` which further extends `AbstractRelationalDbSource` and thats where the `read` method is present.
