Thanks for the reply, I think it's related. However, after using a fork of Flask-CQLAlchemy with postfork I'm still getting the NoHostAvailable error once per 4k requests. One strange thing is the error rate doesn't increase with the number of requests, since some uWSGI clients with ~20k requests over the same time period have an error rate of once per 20k requests. Both uWSGI hosts have the same number of worker processes.
