### **Search before asking**
* [x] I had searched in the [[issues](https://github.com/apache/doris/issues)](https://github.com/apache/doris/issues) and found no similar issues.
### **Version**
* **Metabase Version:** v0.53.9
* **Doris Version:** 4.0.5
* **Driver Version:** Latest [[metabase-doris-driver.jar](https://velodb-bi-connector-1316291683.cos.ap-hongkong.myqcloud.com/Metabase/latest/doris.metabase-driver.jar)](https://velodb-bi-connector-1316291683.cos.ap-hongkong.myqcloud.com/Metabase/latest/doris.metabase-driver.jar)
### **Description**
The current Doris Metabase driver is incompatible with recent Metabase releases (v0.50.x - v0.53.x). When attempting to initialize the driver or connect to a Doris instance, Metabase throws a `FileNotFoundException` because it can no longer find the legacy `metabase.driver-api` namespace.
Metabase has deprecated and removed `metabase.driver-api` in favor of a new driver structure in their recent versions.
### **Logs**
```text

```
### **Analysis**
The error `Could not locate metabase/driver_api/core__init.class` indicates that the driver is trying to require `metabase.driver-api`, which was removed in Metabase's major internal refactoring (Migration to Driver API v2).
**Affected File:** `metabase/driver/doris.clj`
**Root Cause:**
```clojure
;; The following line in the driver source is incompatible with Metabase v0.50+
(ns metabase.driver.doris
(:require [metabase.driver-api :as driver-api] ...))
```
### **Expected Behavior**
The driver should be updated to support the Metabase Shared Dependencies and the new Driver Namespace (`metabase.driver`) to be compatible with Metabase v0.50.0 and above.
