Maintain Thrift Connection between Requests

[gummoe]

There may already be a way to accomplish this, but I was hoping there may be a way to maintain connection to a remote Thrift server in-between requests. We're developing a RESTful API to provide basic reads of our HBase cluster, but are experiencing slow response times because (we think) a new connection is established for each read. Are you able to recommend a solution to this?

I envision this solution looking similar to the massive_record gem or active_record approach.

Yeah, you definitely don't want to instantiate a new thrift connection on every request. You should create the connection and memoize/cache it somehow; in an initializer or as a class variable, etc.

I didn't, no. This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate your
help! Thanks for working on this awesome gem.
