defmodule Vaultx.Transport.Pool do
@moduledoc """
Enterprise-grade connection pool for HashiCorp Vault HTTP transport.
This module provides sophisticated connection pooling functionality optimized
for high-throughput Vault operations. It manages connection lifecycle, health
monitoring, load balancing, and automatic failover across multiple Vault
instances in a cluster.
## Enterprise Features
- Connection Pooling: Efficient HTTP connection reuse and management
- Health Monitoring: Continuous connection health checks and recovery
- Load Balancing: Intelligent request distribution across Vault nodes
- Connection Limits: Configurable pool sizing with overflow protection
- Timeout Management: Comprehensive timeout handling and recovery
- Performance Metrics: Detailed pool performance and health metrics
- Circuit Breaker: Automatic failover for unhealthy connections
## Configuration
config :vaultx, :pool,
size: 10, # Base pool size per Vault instance
max_overflow: 5, # Additional connections when pool is full
timeout: 30_000, # Connection timeout in milliseconds
max_idle_time: 300_000, # Maximum idle time before cleanup
health_check_interval: 60_000 # Health check interval in milliseconds
## Usage Examples
# Get a connection from the pool
{:ok, conn} = Vaultx.Transport.Pool.get_connection()
# Return connection to the pool
:ok = Vaultx.Transport.Pool.return_connection(conn)
# Execute request with automatic connection management
{:ok, response} = Vaultx.Transport.Pool.request(:get, "/v1/sys/health", nil, [])
# Get pool statistics
{:ok, stats} = Vaultx.Transport.Pool.stats()

## Pool Statistics
# Get pool statistics
stats = Vaultx.Transport.Pool.stats()
# Returns: %{
# total_connections: 10,
# active_connections: 3,
# idle_connections: 7,
# pending_requests: 0,
# total_requests: 1234,
# failed_requests: 5
# }
## Health Monitoring
The pool automatically monitors connection health by:
- Sending periodic health check requests
- Removing connections that fail health checks
- Tracking connection error rates
- Implementing circuit breaker patterns for failing endpoints
