No way to know when reconnected about helenus

[devdazed]

currently we don't emit connect when connecting to a host. The only time the queries will error due to connections is if you don't have enough connections to make the CONSISTENCY_LEVEL requirement. It's up to the app to decide to drop the CL to make the query. If there are no hosts available then it will keep trying until it succeeds.

Well, my issue is if the entire cassandra cluster is down for some reason. So not just 1 or more nodes. In that case I want to notify my users properly that the system is not functioning, which I can do because of the error emitted. But after that I don't know when to return to normal operation again because it is unknown whether queries will be successful again.

That's not the responsibility of the client. Does a relational database inform you once it comes back online? You have to hit it, to know.

To help, we now emit connect once the driver has reconnected.
