```
public interface Pool
```
A pool for connections from a client to a set of GemFire Cache Servers.
A single instance of this interface can be created using ClientCacheFactory.create(). Multiple instances may also be created using PoolFactory.create(java.lang.String). A PoolFactory instance is created by calling PoolManager.createFactory(). So to create a default Pool do this:
```
 new ClientCacheFactory().create();
 
```
or this:
```
 PoolManager.createFactory().create("myPool");
 
```
Instances may also be created by declaring them in cache.xml with a pool element.
Existing Pool instances can be found using PoolManager.find(String) and PoolManager.getAll().
The pool name must be configured on the client regions that will use this pool by calling RegionFactory.setPoolName(java.lang.String).
Since:

GemFire 5.7

  - destroy
```
void destroy(boolean keepAlive)
```
    Destroys this pool closing any connections it produced.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keepAlive - whether the server should keep the durable client's subscriptions alive for the timeout period
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the pool is still in use
  - destroy
```
void destroy()
```
    Destroys this pool closing any connections it produced.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the pool is still in use
  - isDestroyed
```
boolean isDestroyed()
```
    Indicates whether this Pool has been destroyed.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the pool has been destroyed
  - getQueryService
```
QueryService getQueryService()
```
    Returns the QueryService for this Pool. The query operations performed using this QueryService will be executed on the servers that are associated with this pool.
    
    Returns:
    
    the QueryService
  - getPendingEventCount
```
int getPendingEventCount()
```
    Returns the approximate number of pending subscription events maintained at server for this durable client pool at the time it (re)connected to the server. Server would start dispatching these events to this durable client pool when it receives ClientCache.readyForEvents() from it.
    Durable clients can call this method on reconnect to assess the amount of 'stale' data i.e. events accumulated at server while this client was away and, importantly, before calling ClientCache.readyForEvents().
    Any number of invocations of this method during a single session will return the same value.
    It may return a zero value if there are no events pending at server for this client pool. A negative value returned tells us that no queue was available at server for this client pool.
    A value -1 indicates that this client pool reconnected to server after its 'durable-client-timeout' period elapsed and hence its subscription queue at server was removed, possibly causing data loss.
    A value -2 indicates that this client pool connected to server for the first time.
    
    Returns:
    
    int The number of subscription events maintained at server for this durable client pool at the time this pool (re)connected. A negative value indicates no queue was found for this client pool.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - If called by a non-durable client or if invoked any time after invocation of ClientCache.readyForEvents().

  - getSubscriptionTimeoutMultiplier
```
int getSubscriptionTimeoutMultiplier()
```
    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 multipler is set in the client it enables timing out of the subscription feed with failover to another server.
    
    Returns:
    
    The timeout multiplier
    
    See Also:
    
    PoolFactory.setSubscriptionTimeoutMultiplier(int)
  - getSocketFactory
```
SocketFactory getSocketFactory()
```
    The socket factory used by this pool to create socket connections to servers and locators.
    
    Returns:
    
    the socket factory used by this pool to create socket connections to servers and locators
    
    See Also:
    
    PoolFactory.setSocketFactory(SocketFactory)
