Use Case

As a... user of the V6 driver
I want... the client backpressure changes to be in v6
So that... I can get the improved availability experience without upgrading a major driver version

User Experience

• V6 users connecting to new server clusters with load shedding enabled have client backpressure applied.

Dependencies

• NODE-7105 has to be completed first

Risks/Unknowns

• What could go wrong while implementing this change? (e.g., performance, inadvertent behavioral changes in adjacent functionality, existing tech debt, etc)
• Is there an opportunity for better cross-driver alignment or testing in this area?
• Is there an opportunity to improve existing documentation on this subject?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Backport all backpressure changes made in NODE-7105 to V6

Testing Requirements

• Backport all relevant testing done in NODE-7105 to V6

Documentation Requirements

• DOCSP ticket, API docs, etc

Follow Up Requirements

• additional tickets to file, required releases, etc
• if node behavior differs/will differ from other drivers, confirm with dbx devs what standard to aim for and what plan, if any, exists to reconcile the diverging behavior moving forward
