   I found the discussion on https://stackoverflow.com/q/71129297/196405 
helpful to explain how HttpClient reuses (or doesn't) the connections.
   
   One answer suggested `jdk.httpclient.connectionPoolSize` to limit the number 
of keep-alive connections, which is further documented at 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/core/java-networking.html
   
   Another answer clarified that won't work, because it's only the limit of 
idle keep-alive connections, not the number of concurrent active ones. So, you 
have to limit it in the application. It says you also can't limit it by 
controlling the size of the executor's thread pool, because the client is fully 
async. They suggested using a Semaphore in the application to impose a max.
   
   If the proposed implementation in 
https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/4982#issuecomment-2417960681 works, 
then we don't really have to fix this, but we'd have to change the 
implementation to collect the logs for later retrieval, as that comment 
proposes.
   
   However, my concern over that approach is that the current design allows 
other components to use this Appender. An implementation that queues the logs 
for later retrieval by the monitor via Thrift will not be able to be reused by 
other components, and that was one of my originally intended uses with the 
creation of this Appender. So, I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is 
here.
   
   Ideally, I would prefer to just eliminate log collection in the monitor 
entirely. Users who need to collect and monitor logs for alerting or later 
analysis should really be using a log collection and aggregation system that is 
appropriate for that, and we shouldn't be baking this into the monitor at all. 
Removing it entirely would save us a lot of grief.
