Check if connection is open.

Hi, how can I check if the thrift connection is open/valid before I use the client method? Is there a way to know if the connection was established correctly when I'm creating a thrift client?

If I just do this:

var thrift_client = thriftPool(thrift, Service, {host: "localhost", port: 9090});

How can i guarantee that the connection is working before i call a method on the client?

Not the maintainer, but I can tell you what I've done.

I've implemented a "Ping" endpoint in my thrift service for healthchecks. So when I create the pool, i immediately run a "Ping" to ensure the pool was able to connect.

Yeah, guess I'll do that too. Thanks.
