Still getting the cassandra.cluster.NoHostAvailable error periodically from uWSGI hosts. Setting up the connection with postfork: https://github.com/alanhamlett/flask-cqlalchemy/blob/653ed3298af7dd617a972e9f87437f6e53f741b9/flask_cqlalchemy/__init__.py#L56
Lazy connection is False, Retry connection is True. Could this be a bug in cassandra-driver's connection pooling? P.S. Blocking a web app when connection isn't available (default non-lazy connect) is really bad. With a web app you want requests that don't depend on Cassandra to complete, but cassandra-driver blocks all requests when there's no Cassandra connection even if it's not needed for the current web app's request. This design decision gives me very low confidence in the Python cassandra-driver.
