Thanks for your patch. Looks reasonable.
However I have one question. Before this patch if some
connection was down we perform wait_connected and in some
cases it could lead to successful reconnection. Currently we just skip
broken connections and don't try to reconnect.
Could it be a problem or we perform reconnection in another place?
What will be happen if all connections will be down?
