I am using springboot application talking to mysql database. I have also enabled hystrix threadpool in it.

1 API requests is making 10 db requests.

Now since i have hystrix threadpool enabled, 1 http thread comes and uses 1 hystrix thread from the hystrix threadpool.

Now this hystrix thread is creating 10 new database requests. I wanted it should create only 1 database connection and talk to db 10 times and then release the connection.

May I know why hystrix thread is creating new database connection 10 times for the same thread?

I have tried hystrix semaphore which will use the http thread and creates only 1 db connection for 10 db request.

But I cant leverage the benefits of hystrix threadpool this way.
