Summary
The CMAP spec currently requires setting maxConnecting to 2. There are some user scenarios where this setting is not optimal, and degrades application performance.
Consider allowing users to configure maxConnecting setting.
Drivers should also provide documentation suggesting the default value of 2 (or other) for minimizing the risk of connection storms.
Motivation
Who is the affected end user?
Customers with workloads for which maxConnecting=2 causes degraded performance (see linked tickets).
How does this affect the end user?
Some users experience performance degradation, which is supposed to be addressed by this setting.
How likely is it that this problem or use case will occur?
Unclear, probably an edge case.
If the problem does occur, what are the consequences and how severe are they?
Degraded performance
Is this issue urgent?
This prevents some users from upgrading to the latest driver.
Is this ticket required by a downstream team?
No
Is this ticket only for tests?
No
