0:55 <vicmargar> Hello, what is the best way to use the protocol buffers client? 

10:55 <vicmargar> If I have thousands of processes that want to access riak,
 should I have a pool of connections? 

12:06 <rtilder> vicmargar: Generally speaking, yes. 

12:07 <vicmargar> what do you mean? 

12:15 <vicmargar> I've been running some benchmarks with basho_bench and I see that 
when I increase the number of concurrent workers the CPU usage of the machines increseases. 

12:16 <vicmargar> So I'm assuming that I'll have to make the same number of concurrent 
requests from my code to get similar performance to what I got in the test. 

12:20 <benblack> yes. 

12:21 <benblack> you will not see maximum performance on a single connection. 

12:29 <vicmargar> benblack: yes but I guess also I have to make sure that the number 
of connections distributed across all my nodes to riak isn't higher than the optimal maximum 

12:30 <vicmargar> I guess it's just a matter of testing different combinations 
and seeing what works better. 

12:30 <benblack> correct
