Class PingingPool (3.8.0)

PingingPool(size=10, default_timeout=10, ping_interval=3000, labels=None)

Concrete session pool implementation:

  • Pre-allocates / creates a fixed number of sessions.

  • Sessions are used in "round-robin" order (LRU first).

  • "Pings" existing sessions in the background after a specified interval via an API call (session.ping()).

  • Blocks, with a timeout, when get is called on an empty pool. Raises after timing out.

  • Raises when put is called on a full pool. That error is never expected in normal practice, as users should be calling get followed by put whenever in need of a session.

The application is responsible for calling ping at appropriate times, e.g. from a background thread.
