CONNECTION POOLS FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS ACCESSING DISTRIBUTED DATABASES

Abstract:

A server system provided according to an aspect of the present disclosure provides a shared connection pool to parallel execution entities accessing database instances of a distributed database when processing requests. A shared connection pool implies that each pool connection of the connection pool may be used for serving different execution entities requiring access to different database instances. In an embodiment, the database instances correspond to shards together implementing a distributed database, and the parallel execution entities correspond to threads.
