Migration of dialect to Hibernate 6

Hibernate ORM
27

About the function contributor: I have a custom dialect class and want to add the “match” function to MariaDB, which is basically the same requirement as the initial post.
It seems it is possible without a “org.hibernate.boot.model.FunctionContributor” file. I could do it by overriding “initializeFunctionRegistry”:


public class MariaDBDialectCustom extends org.hibernate.dialect.MariaDBDialect
{
    ...

    @Override
    public void initializeFunctionRegistry(FunctionContributions functionContributions) {
        super.initializeFunctionRegistry(functionContributions);
        
        functionContributions.getFunctionRegistry().registerPattern("match", "match (?1) against (?2 in boolean mode)", 
                functionContributions.getTypeConfiguration().getBasicTypeRegistry().resolve(StandardBasicTypes.DOUBLE));
    }
}

But according to this thread, custom dialects are discouraged?
