ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-5790: -------------------------------------- Github user colindean commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3133 > What if you exposed the number of active and idle connections in the connection pool as properties on the DBCPConnectionPool? These are available by calling getNumActive() and getNumIdle(). Or you could call listAllObjects() and get back the full pool on the dataSource object. I started down this track but I couldn't actually seem to trigger idle within a reasonable test setup. I can't for the life of me tell what actually makes a connection go idle, only really what removes it _when_ it's idle. Thoughts on how to proceed? > DBCPConnectionPool configuration should expose underlying connection idle and > eviction configuration > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-5790 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5790 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Extensions > Affects Versions: 1.8.0 > Reporter: Colin Dean > Priority: Major > Labels: DBCP, database > > While investigating a fix for NIFI-5789, I noticed in the [DBCPConnectionPool > documentation|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-dbcp-service-nar/1.8.0/org.apache.nifi.dbcp.DBCPConnectionPool/index.html] > that NiFi appears _not_ to have controller service configuration options > associated with [Apache > Commons-DBCP|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/configuration.html] > {{BasicDataSource}} parameters like {{minIdle}} and {{maxIdle}}, which I > think should be both set to 0 in my particular use case. > Alternatively, I think I could set {{maxConnLifetimeMillis}} to something > even in the minutes range and satisfy my use case (a connection need not be > released _immediately_ but within a reasonable period of time), but this > option is also not available. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
