Is there any hooks for .on('error') to remove a driver from the pool? about node-pool HOT 8 CLOSED

hey there,

Yep, try using pool.destroy(obj) instead of pool.release(obj) - destroy()
will decrement the usage count on the resource and call
factory.destroy(obj) so you can attempt to close it.

does that help?

Hi,

Great module - I didn't see it from briefly scanning your code: it's
pretty common that with various drivers (especially stateful/long-lived
ones), I'd want to have the pool auto-purge a client that emits an error
event, so it can recreate another one to replace it. Is there a way to do
that?

Thanks!

Oh ok - so just do it "outside" of the pool. I was asking if pool could just manage this automatically (that would be a nice new feature).

ah.. yeah, I guess I'm open to it. Feel free to propose a design. Are
you asking for the pool to do a health check on acquire and/or release? Or
some other way?

Well, I guess we could do that too (health check on acquire). I was actually thinking more of .on('error') it could go into a "destroy -> create". I dunno, maybe it's not worth it if it's wrapped outside of the pool. Because either way (health check or error-based), it does feel like you'd have to do retry/backoff, otherwise you could end up in a "spin" when the backend resource is out.

right, exactly. .on(error) seems similar to .destroy(obj) -- in either
case factory.create() will get called if all pool objects are in use.

DBCP for Java has health check hooks, so I'd be open to adding something
like that. In particular you could have removeIdle() execute the health
check hook on the factory (if defined).. Would that be useful for you? or
is that unrelated to your use case?

Yeah I think a health check hook like jakarta's that's executed outside of my normal code flows would actually get me the same thing - so sold :)

Sweet. I'll keep this issue open as a placeholder. swamped a bit at the
moment

Going to close due to age reasons. Feel free to re-open if this issue is still relevant anyone.
