Stillwater

A simple connection pool, that allows connections to different servers (or anything else)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'stillwater'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install stillwater

Usage

pool = Stillwater::ConnectionPool.new
%q{ host1.com host2.com }.each do |host|
  pool.add { MyConnectionClass.new(host) }
end

# Basic connection handling
pool.with_connection do |connection|
  # Do some stuff with your connection
end

# Retry connections
# This will retry your code with a new connection and mark the tried
# connection as bad. The bad connection will be put back in the pool
# at the default period of 5 minutes.
pool.retry_connection_from(ServerConnectionFailed) do |connection|
  # Do some stuff with your connection
end
