title: What are disadvantages in disabling reactor-netty connection pool?
body: <p>Recently in our application we are facing the below error quite frequently.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Error :</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>

  <p>When I searched online for this error, it was <a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/22464" rel="nofollow noreferrer">reported</a> as a bug in reactor-netty  and some suggested to disable reactor-netty client connection pool to prevent this error as a workaround.</p>
  
  <p>So I just wanted to understand what will be the disadvantages to disable the connection pool??</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
