JBPM issue with Maria DB Galera were Primary key mandatory

Question

JBPM issue with Maria DB Galera were Primary key mandatory. Some tables in JBPM db schema have no primary key.

If I add a primary key column along with them what will be the impact?
Is there nay other way I can get ride of this problem?

Currently we have Mariadb as the only database option to use.

create table EventTypes (
    InstanceId bigint not null,
    element varchar(255)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
create table PeopleAssignments_PotOwners (
        task_id bigint not null,
        entity_id varchar(255) not null
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Please help.

PeopleAssignments_PotOwners looks like a many:many mapping table between tasks and entities?? If so, then the 'natural' PRIMARY KEY would be

PRIMARY KEY(task_id, entity_id)

(in either order).

Perhaps ditto for the other table?

If you don't have a 'natural' primary key composed of one (or more) columns, add

id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
