Research direction

Read the linked Fluentd pull request and issue first to understand the intended keep-alive behavior. Then inspect this repository's connection-management entry point and tests; done means clients can rebalance connections to newly spawned Fluentd replicas without losing forwarding behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey 👋

There was a change to Fluentd's out_forward awhile ago to support keep alive behaviour https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/2393. Is there any chance of implementing this in this client as well? The use case is identical to the original issue in https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/issues/2188 where we'd like our clients to rebalance its connections over to newly spawned fluentd replicas.
