I have one feature request though. Is it possible to enhance the ProducerManagerImpl's open and close operation such that they can be reused. Currently If I do pm.open() //do some work pm.close() I can't reuse the pm at a later execution, because pm.close() closes the connection objection but does not remove PM's reference to the connection, while pm.open() does not try to create a new connection (or reopen an existing connection that is closed) if PM has a reference to a connection object (regardless of the connection object's state).
