Cassandra Connection Pool

The Cassandra Connection Pool is derived from the jdbc-pool project developed by Filip Hanik as part of Tomcat 7. Its purpose is to provide a flexible and scalable method for pooling connections to a Cassandra cluster. It provides the following features:

• possibility to define the maximum number of active connections, maximum and minimum number of idle connections
• connection validation on create, borrow, release and periodically on idle connections
• host failover policy (fail fast, single host, all hosts)
• automatic retrieval of the addresses of the hosts belonging to a Cassandra cluster
• JMX bean for monitoring and configuring via management consoles
• configurable via IoC containers (e.g. Spring)
