A developer here accidentally flooded a server with connection opens and closes, essentially one per transaction during a multi-threaded data migration process. We were curious if this suggests that connection clean up is more expensive than creation thereby exhausting resources, or if perhaps the server wasn't returning to the essentially backgrounded clean-up task adroitly (enough)? Don't worry we are now using a connection pool for the migration, but the situation was, um, er, entertaining. The server side said eof-from-client, the client side said many variations of cannot-connect, then they would work out their differences briefly and do the same dance over again after sufficient connections.
