scala-pool

This library provides classes for dealing with object pooling that allow:

• blocking/non-blocking object acquisition
• object invalidation
• capping the number of pooled objects
• creating new objects lazily, as needed
• health checking
• time-based pool eviction (idle instances)
• GC-based pool eviction (soft and weak references)
• efficient thread-safety

==Overview== In order create a new io.github.andrebeat.pool.Pool the constructor method should be used like so

scala> val pool = Pool(4, () => new Object)
pool: io.github.andrebeat.pool.SimplePool[Object] = _
scala> val lease = pool.acquire()
lease: io.github.andrebeat.pool.Lease[Object] = _
scala> lease.release()

Additionally, in order to avoid manually releasing the lease after its used, you can use the use method on the lease:

scala> val pool = Pool(4, () => new Object)
pool: io.github.andrebeat.pool.SimplePool[Object] = _
scala> val lease = pool.acquire()
lease: io.github.andrebeat.pool.Lease[Object] = _
scala> lease(println) // the lease is released automatically after its used
