Max lifetime parameter about node-pool HOT 6 CLOSED

What exactly do you mean by max lifetime parameter? Could you give an example of where it would feature in the api?

from node-pool.

var pool = poolModule.Pool({
  name: 'pool',
  create: function (cb) {
    //set this client's timer to 0
  },
  destroy: function (client) {
  },
  max: 30,
  lifetime: 2 * 3600 //2 hours max clients' lifetime, after we recreate it.
})

Every 2 hours your module will call ".destroy" method and after will call ".create" method to recreate all old clients.
I can't do it by "idleTimeoutMillis" parameter because my clients have no idle time. They are working always and I have to restart they because of memory leak in clients (Firefox under Selenium server).

Ok, Let me have a think about this, off the top of my head there should be a way to achieve this with the current version of node-pool

from node-pool.

We are facing the same problem, I think we can solve this by using the "validate" callback.
In create function, attach a timestamp to the resource. In validate make sure resource in not older than
xyz.
@sandfox that should do it. =)

@jtsoi that sounds like a good solution. Let me know if it's not workable with the current code.

from node-pool.

@sandfox The POC is working well.

Both with TTL and "max_number_of_requests".

A note: If using this, make sure the TTL/max_number_of_requests is randomized, or all resources will expire at once.

I suggest we close this issue.

SOLUTION:
Use "validate" callback: https://github.com/coopernurse/node-pool#documentation
