PoolFactory (Apache Geode 1.15.1)

```
public interface PoolFactory
```
This interface provides for the configuration and creation of instances of Pool.
Every pool needs to have at least one locator or server added to it. Locators should be added unless direct connections to cache servers are desired.
The setter methods are used to specify non-default values for the other pool properties.
Once it is configured create(java.lang.String) will produce an instance.
The factory can be restored to its default configuration by calling reset().
Instances of this interface can be created by calling PoolManager.createFactory().
If a subscription is going to be made using a pool then subscriptions must be enabled on the pool. Subscriptions are made using these APIs:

- Method Detail
  - setSocketConnectTimeout
```
PoolFactory setSocketConnectTimeout(int socketConnectTimeout)
```
    Sets the socket connect timeout for this pool. The number of milli seconds specified as socket timeout when the client connects to the servers/locators. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. The connection will then block until established or an error occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    
    socketConnectTimeout - timeout in milliseconds when the client connects to the servers
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if socketConnectTimeout is less than or equal to -1.
  - setFreeConnectionTimeout
```
PoolFactory setFreeConnectionTimeout(int connectionTimeout)
```
    Sets the free connection timeout for this pool. If the pool has a max connections setting, operations will block if all of the connections are in use. The free connection timeout specifies how long those operations will block waiting for a free connection before receiving an AllConnectionsInUseException. If max connections is not set this setting has no effect.
    
    Parameters:
    
    connectionTimeout - the connection timeout in milliseconds
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if connectionTimeout is less than or equal to 0.
    
    See Also:
    
    setMaxConnections(int)
  - setServerConnectionTimeout
```
PoolFactory setServerConnectionTimeout(int serverConnectionTimeout)
```
    Sets the server connection timeout for this pool. If the pool has a max connections setting, operations will block if there is no free connection towards specific server. The server connection timeout specifies how long those operations will block waiting for a free connection towards specific server before receiving an AllConnectionsInUseException. If max connections is not set this setting has no effect. It differs from "setFreeConnectionTimeout" which sets wait time for any server connection in the pool, where this sets wait time for a free connection to a specific server.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serverConnectionTimeout - the connection timeout in milliseconds
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if serverConnectionTimeout is less than 0.
    
    See Also:
    
    setMaxConnections(int)
  - setLoadConditioningInterval
```
PoolFactory setLoadConditioningInterval(int loadConditioningInterval)
```
    Sets the load conditioning interval for this pool. This interval controls how frequently the pool will check to see if a connection to a given server should be moved to a different server to improve the load balance.
    A value of -1 disables load conditioning
    
    Parameters:
    
    loadConditioningInterval - the connection lifetime in milliseconds
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if connectionLifetime is less than -1.
  - setSocketBufferSize
```
PoolFactory setSocketBufferSize(int bufferSize)
```
    Sets the socket buffer size for each connection made in this pool. Large messages can be received and sent faster when this buffer is larger. Larger buffers also optimize the rate at which servers can send events for client subscriptions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bufferSize - the size of the socket buffers used for reading and writing on each connection in this pool.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if bufferSize is less than or equal to 0.
  - setThreadLocalConnections
```
@Deprecated
PoolFactory setThreadLocalConnections(boolean threadLocalConnections)
```
    Deprecated. Since Geode 1.10.0. Thread local connections are ignored. Will be removed in future major release.
    
    Sets the thread local connections policy for this pool. If true then any time a thread goes to use a connection from this pool it will check a thread local cache and see if it already has a connection in it. If so it will use it. If not it will get one from this pool and cache it in the thread local. This gets rid of thread contention for the connections but increases the number of connections the servers see.
    If false then connections are returned to the pool as soon as the operation being done with the connection completes. This allows connections to be shared amonst multiple threads keeping the number of connections down.
    
    Parameters:
    
    threadLocalConnections - if true then enable thread local connections.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this

    Parameters:
    
    timeout - number of milliseconds to wait for a response from a server
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if timeout is less than 0.
  - setMinConnections
```
PoolFactory setMinConnections(int minConnections)
```
    Set the minimum number of connections to keep available at all times. When the pool is created, it will create this many connections. If 0 then connections will not be made until an actual operation is done that requires client-to-server communication.
    
    Parameters:
    
    minConnections - the initial number of connections this pool will create.
    
    Returns:

    IllegalArgumentException - if minConnections is less than 0.
  - setMaxConnections
```
PoolFactory setMaxConnections(int maxConnections)
```
    Set the max number of client to server connections that the pool will create. If all of the connections are in use, an operation requiring a client to server connection will block until a connection is available.
    
    Parameters:
    
    maxConnections - the maximum number of connections in the pool. this pool will create. -1 indicates that there is no maximum number of connections
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this

    IllegalArgumentException - if retryAttempts is less than -1.
  - setPingInterval
```
PoolFactory setPingInterval(long pingInterval)
```
    How often to ping servers to verify that they are still alive. Each server will be sent a ping every pingInterval if there has not been any other communication with the server.

```
PoolFactory addServer(String host,
                      int port)
```
    Add a server, given its host and port, to this factory. The server must be a cache server and this client will directly connect to without consulting a server locator. Note that if the host is unknown at the time of this call the server will still be added. When the pool is used for an operation if the host is still unknown an exception will be thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    host - the host name or ip address that the server is listening on.
    
    port - the port that the server is listening on

    Parameters:
    
    enabled - whether the created pool will have server-to-client subscriptions enabled
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
  - setSubscriptionRedundancy
```
PoolFactory setSubscriptionRedundancy(int redundancy)
```
    Sets the redundancy level for this pools server-to-client subscriptions. If 0 then no redundant copies will be kept on the servers. Otherwise an effort will be made to maintain the requested number of copies of the server-to-client subscriptions. At most one copy per server will be made up to the requested level.
    
    Parameters:

    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if redundancyLevel is less than -1.
  - setSubscriptionMessageTrackingTimeout
```
PoolFactory setSubscriptionMessageTrackingTimeout(int messageTrackingTimeout)
```
    Sets the messageTrackingTimeout attribute which is the time-to-live period, in milliseconds, for subscription events the client has received from the server. It's used to minimize duplicate events. Entries that have not been modified for this amount of time are expired from the list
    
    Parameters:
    
    messageTrackingTimeout - number of milliseconds to set the timeout to.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Throws:

  - setSubscriptionTimeoutMultiplier
```
PoolFactory setSubscriptionTimeoutMultiplier(int multiplier)
```
    A server has an inactivity monitor that ensures a message is sent to a client at least once a minute (60,000 milliseconds). If a subscription timeout multiplier is set in the client it enables timing out of the subscription feed with failover to another server.
    The client will time out it's subscription connection after a number of seconds equal to this multiplier times the server's subscription-timeout.
    Set this to 2 or more to make sure the client will receive pings from the server before the timeout.
    A value of zero (the default) disables timeouts
    The resulting timeout will be multiplied by 1.25 in order to avoid race conditions with the server sending its "ping" message.
    
    Parameters:
    
    multiplier - the subscription timeout multiplier to set
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this

  - create
```
Pool create(String name)
```
    Create a new Pool for connecting a client to a set of GemFire Cache Servers. using this factory's settings for attributes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the pool, used when connecting regions to it
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly created pool.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if a pool with name already exists
    
    IllegalStateException - if a locator or server has not been added.
  - setPRSingleHopEnabled
```
PoolFactory setPRSingleHopEnabled(boolean enabled)
```
    By default setPRSingleHopEnabled is true in which case the client is aware of the location of partitions on servers hosting regions with DataPolicy.PARTITION. Using this information, the client routes the client cache operations directly to the server which is hosting the required partition for the cache operation using a single network hop. This mode works best when setMaxConnections(int) is set to -1 which is the default. This mode causes the client to have more connections to the servers.
    If setPRSingleHopEnabled is false the client may need to do an extra network hop on servers to go to the required partition for that cache operation. The client will use fewer network connections to the servers.
    Caution: for partition regions with local-max-memory equal to zero, no cache operations mentioned above will be routed to those servers as they do not host any partitions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - whether Partitioned Region single hop is enabled
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Since:
    
    GemFire 6.5
  - setMultiuserAuthentication
```
PoolFactory setMultiuserAuthentication(boolean enabled)
```
    If set to true then the created pool can be used by multiple authenticated users.
    This setting should only be used for applications that require the client to authenticate itself with the server multiple users.
    Note: If set to true, all the client side regions must have their data-policy set to empty.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - whether the created pool can be used by multiple authenticated users
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this
    
    Since:
    
    GemFire 6.5

  - setSocketFactory
```
PoolFactory setSocketFactory(SocketFactory socketFactory)
```
    Set the socket factory used by this pool to create connections to both locators (if configured using addLocator(String, int)) and servers. see SocketFactory See ProxySocketFactories
    
    Parameters:
    
    socketFactory - The SocketFactory to use
