Overview

ConnectionHandler is a collection of ConnectionPool objects. It is used for keeping separate connection pools for Active Record models that connect to different databases.

For example, suppose that you have 5 models, with the following hierarchy:

|
+-- Book
|    |
|    +-- ScaryBook
|    +-- GoodBook
+-- Author
+-- BankAccount

Suppose that Book is to connect to a separate database (i.e. one other than the default database). Then Book, ScaryBook and GoodBook will all use the same connection pool. Likewise, Author and BankAccount will use the same connection pool. However, the connection pool used by Author/BankAccount is not the same as the one used by Book/ScaryBook/GoodBook.

Normally there is only a single ConnectionHandler instance, accessible via ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler. Active Record models use this to determine the connection pool that they should use.

  # instances of the class would stay in memory.

Instance Method Details

#active_connections? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if there are any active connections among the connection pools that the ConnectionHandler is managing.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb', line 515

def active_connections?
  connection_pool_list.any?(&:active_connection?)
end

#clear_active_connections! ⇒ Object

Returns any connections in use by the current thread back to the pool, and also returns connections to the pool cached by threads that are no longer alive.

#connected?(klass) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if a connection that’s accessible to this class has already been opened.

Returns:

    "(An array of pools, rather than a hash mapping specs to pools.)"

Raises:

  raise RuntimeError, "Anonymous class is not allowed." unless owner.name
  owner_to_pool[owner.name] = ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool.new(spec)
end

#remove_connection(owner) ⇒ Object

Remove the connection for this class. This will close the active connection and the defined connection (if they exist). The result can be used as an argument for establish_connection, for easily re-establishing the connection.

  end
end

#retrieve_connection(klass) ⇒ Object

Locate the connection of the nearest super class. This can be an active or defined connection: if it is the latter, it will be opened and set as the active connection for the class it was defined for (not necessarily the current class).

def retrieve_connection(klass) #:nodoc:
  pool = retrieve_connection_pool(klass)
  (pool && pool.connection) or raise ConnectionNotEstablished
end

#retrieve_connection_pool(klass) ⇒ Object

Retrieving the connection pool happens a lot so we cache it in @class_to_pool. This makes retrieving the connection pool O(1) once the process is warm. When a connection is established or removed, we invalidate the cache.

Ideally we would use #fetch here, as class_to_pool may sometimes be nil. However, benchmarking (gist.github.com/jonleighton/3552829) showed that #fetch is significantly slower than #[]. So in the nil case, no caching will take place, but that’s ok since the nil case is not the common one that we wish to optimise for.
