Do we need to close DBCPConnectionPool object in Custom Processor Or Is it handled by Controller Service itself?

I have created a Custom processor which take care of saving some records in mysql database. For setting up mysql database i am using DBCPConnectionPool object in my custom processor which does work of saving data to database tables correctly, But i am worried of pooling mechanism i am not closing this connection after my logic of saving is completed. This is working for 2 to 3 flowfiles but when i send multiple flowfile will it work correctly?

DBCPService dbcpService = context.getProperty(DBCP_SERVICE).asControllerService(DBCPService.class);
Connection con = dbcpService.getConnection();

I am looking for clarification as my currently flow is working correctly with less number of flowfile

You should be returning it to the pool, most likely with a try-with-resource:

try (final Connection con = dbcpService.getConnection();
     final PreparedStatement st = con.prepareStatement(selectQuery)) {

}

You can always consult the standard processors to see what they do:
