Hello Jeremy, Sorry for the slow response as well. I've just now managed to cut down my mailbox to a manageable size again, so I'm going through some mails in the past month that went unhandled.

You seem to have a use case that we haven't considered so far. What's your motivation for: 1) Reducing the number of connections open to the database server. You mention you have a large project, but so far the large projects we've been in touch with want to do precisely the opposite: keeping a number of connections open so that the handling time for a given request is as reduced as possible. Connections open are not generally an expensive resource when talking about app => SQL database server communication. 2) Closing and reopening the same Store, rather than simply recreating a new one when you want a Store again. 3) Not reflecting the fact that you want to close unused connections in the wait_time option of mysqld. I don't understand details about this option, but if it merely closes idle connections after a given period, it looks like Storm would deal well with it. I hope this gives you some ideas for how to solve the problem. If you still think that Storm should be extended, answering these questions will help me understanding why. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net -- storm mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/storm
