+### Ability to patch Pool.DEFAULT_POOL_NAME in BaseOperator
+It was not possible to patch pool in BaseOperator as the signature sets the default value of pool
+as Pool.DEFAULT_POOL_NAME.
+While using subdagoperator in unittest(without initializing the sqlite db), it was throwing the
+following error:
+```
+sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such table: slot_pool.
+```
+Fix for this, https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/8587

   The client library uses multipart upload automatically if the object/blob size is more than 8 MB - [source code](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/blob/11c543ce7dd1d804688163bc7895cf592feb445f/storage/google/cloud/storage/blob.py#L989-L997).

+* the `generation` parameter is deprecated in `GoogleCloudStorageHook.delete` and `GoogleCloudStorageHook.insert_object_acl`.
 
 Updating to `google-cloud-storage >= 1.16` changes the signature of the upstream `client.get_bucket()` method from `get_bucket(bucket_name: str)` to `get_bucket(bucket_or_name: Union[str, Bucket])`. This method is not directly exposed by the airflow hook, but any code accessing the connection directly (`GoogleCloudStorageHook().get_conn().get_bucket(...)` or similar) will need to be updated.
