Hi all,

in the past we had a "ConnectionPool" ... but in reality, we don't have a pool 
of multiple connection to one target, like in databases, but usually we have 
only one connection to each source in the "pool". But we can have multiple 
connections to multiple targets.

I guess that's why Julian named the new version of the Pool "Connection Cache". 
This sort of comes closer to what it technically is.

So now the question is: How should we generally name this thing?

I would opt to stick with ConnectionPool despite it being more a 
ConnectionCache. The reason for this is that people looking for something with 
the functionality, will probably start looking for a ConnectionPool and not a 
ConnetionCache. I think the inside nature of the component is more a 
context-detail and we should rather provide people with what they intuitively 
would look for.

But I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Chris
