Constant Summary collapse

MAX_CONCURRENCY =

Maximum concurrency when communicating with instances.

Means that you should connect to MAX_CONCURRENCY instances at a time while iterating through them.

MIN_PAGES_PER_INSTANCE =

Minimum pages per instance.

Prevents slaves from having fewer than MIN_PAGES_PER_INSTANCE pages each, the last slave could of course have less than that if the page count isn’t a multiple of MIN_PAGES_PER_INSTANCE.
