The connection pool included with the driver is pretty bare bones. It's
functional, but not a whole lot more. In general we've steered people who
need more than basic pooling to other projects like DBCP because it
doesn't make sense to replicate all of that functionality in the driver's
pool when DBCP is driver independent.
