The configuration option db-pool-acquisition-timeout
specifies the time in seconds to wait for the pool to
free up a connection slot. Otherwise, a 504 error is
returned. By default, there is no timeout.
This version of hasql-pool is a simplified rewrite that doesn't use
the resource-pool package. The major API changes are that idle
connections are no longer timed out (and the corresponding setting
is gone), and that `release` makes the pool unusable, where it used
to remain usable and only flushed idle connections.
We depend on a PostgREST fork of 0.7.2 that gives us reliable
flushing, compare https://github.com/PostgREST/hasql-pool/pull/1
- hasql-pool 0.7 removes timing out of idle connections, so
this change removes the db-pool-timeout option.
Given that we were typically running with very high
timeout settings, I don't anticipate the lack of timeout
to introduce new issues, though we might want to consider
introducing some retry-logic down the line when we
encounter connection failures.
- See https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/2422 for a
discussion on depending on a forked dependency. Besides adding
the dependency to the nix overlay, we're also adding it to
stack.yaml and a new cabal.project to allow stack/cabal users
to build the project.
