Setting the value will help PostgreSQL free up memory by recycling the connections in the connection pool.

I would not set a default value for now but allow testing this as an experimental feature.

Possibly fixes #9182

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
  • Pull request includes a sign off
  • Code style is correct (run the linters)

Copy-paste from some discussion in #-dev:

As far as I see it, this’ll add a bit of overhead with some transactions as the database driver needs to find a new connection, the better way to do it would be to keep a connection “reserve” at all times (newly created, and untouched), and switch to it when one connection has exceeded its transaction limit (and thus has to be closed), so a new connection gets created in the background asynchronously instead of it becoming a head-of-the-line blocker for new transactions.

a potential optimization

It's quite a bit of more work to do that. I have doubts the connection time is actually meaningful enough to warrant that (when adding up all the other delays) unless it can be proven that this has more negative effects than positive given the reconnection itself is reliable.

Testing this in scale would need to be done with good metrics anyway. I only have access to a small instance.

this seems like a sensible improvement; I'd be happy to merge this after a bit of clean-up.

I'm worried that the new code doesn't have any test coverage at all, and is therefore very likely to break in the future. Maybe you could add something to tests.storage.test_database? There is some vaguely related stuff in tests.storage.test_base, though I think it mocks things out at the wrong level.

The code here looks good, though you'll need to run scripts-dev/generate_sample_config to update the sample config file (and thus make CI happy).

I'm still a bit dubious about merging this without the new code being used in CI at all. Did you get anywhere with looking into writing some tests for this? Maybe we could at least run a couple of SELECT 1-type commands with the config option enabled and check that it doesn't blow up?

I tried a few different methods but nothing seems to go between the right stuff without mocking the whole adbapi ConnectionPool including connections. reconnect() is called on the raw Twisted Connection so there's very little I can do otherwise to track it's being actually called.

Added trivial test to see it doesn't break.
