This replaces the existing round-robin. It gives us better performance with clusters composed of different machine capacities. Lease connected load balancing strategy selects start index in round robin fashion to avoid always selecting same machine when cluster does not have any running transactions or all machines have same number of active connections.

It is possible to go back to previous round-robin load balancing strategy using an experimental config setting:

  {loadBalancingStrategy: 'round_robin'}

It will now track count of active (checked out of the pool) resources
per key. Where key is a server address in the driver. Counter is
incremented when resource is acquired from the pool and decremented
when resource is released back to the pool.

Also added JSDocs in the `Pool` class.

const strategy = RoutingDriver._createLoadBalancingStrategy({loadBalancingStrategy: 'round_robin'}, new Pool());
expect(strategy instanceof RoundRobinLoadBalancingStrategy).toBeTruthy();
});
