It depends.

Could be good design, could be bad design. For example, reconnecting
is a simple way to handle certain error conditions (see Lazy Pirate
pattern), but frequent close/reconnect in normal situations may
exhaust system resources (running out of file handles or sockets).

General advice would be "never design anything that's not a precise
minimal answer to a problem you can identify and have to solve".
