> Reconnect and try again? Sorry what do you mean by "Reconnect and try again?" -- You mean to shut down the old pool and create a new pool of connections?I don't have the possibility to handle the single connection using Pelops ... >From Dominic Williams Blog "To work with a Cassandra cluster, you need to start off by defining a connection pool. This is typically done once in the startup code of your application"[...] "One of the key design decisions that at the time of writing distinguishes Pelops, is that the data processing code written by developers does not involve connection pooling or management. Instead, classes like Mutator and Selector borrow connections to Cassandra from a Pelops pool for just the periods that they need to read and write to the underlying Thrift API. This has two advantages.
Firstly, obviously, code becomes cleaner and developers are freed from connection management concerns. But also more subtly this enables the Pelops library to completely manage connection pooling itself, and for example keep track of how many outstanding operations are currently running against each cluster node. This for example, enables Pelops to perform more effective client load balancing by ensuring that new operations are performed against the node to which it currently has the least outstanding operations running. Because of this architectural choice, it will even be possible to offer strategies in the future where for example nodes are actually queried to determine their load." TIA -- - Carlo -
