If the database was shut off,
bolt.hasMultiDbSupport
will throw which we don't handle properly. This PR catches whenever it could throw.Our the metadata check running every 20 seconds is supposed to detect when a database connection is lost but it doesn't work properly (in part because of hasMultiDbSupport throwing). I spent a few hours trying to understand why/how it doesn't work, but didn't get anywhere and I think the whole file requires heavy refactoring. I ended up including a another call to
onConnectionLost
as part of the metadata check instead, so that we don't retry the websocket in eternity. It's somewhat of a scope creep and not a perfect solution, so I'm happy to drop it.Preview @ http://crash_on_db_switch.surge.sh
