Description

Rework the design and implementation of database connection pooling in the Data Manager Library. Provide a callback mechanism for the calling application to manage its own connection pool. This should include a mechanism for returning a "Connection not available" status to the Data Manager so that it will know that it needs to wait until a connection is available. The Data Manager should generally use one connection per operation, though if the operation has several steps it could re-use the same connection in more than one step if it's safe to do so.

As part of the work done on bug #2979, it came to light that there was a significant bottleneck when hitting the database to look up entity/attribute names to generate SQL queries.
An alternative to the org.ecoinformatics.datamanager.database.DatabaseConnectionPoolInterfaceTest implementation of DatabaseConnectionPoolInterface was created: the org.ecoinformatics.datamanager.database.pooling.* classes along with [another] properties file (pooling.properties). The DatabaseConnectionPoolInterface implementations (currently HSQL and Postgres) use the connection pooling provided in their respective libraries and dramatically enhanced performance (~tenfold reduction). A calling app would rely on the DatabaseConnectionPoolInterfaceFactory (and correct settings in pool.properties) to provide a DatabaseConnectionPoolInterface instance.
Feedback on this approach is appreciated as I'm not certain it meets all the requirements originally specified in this bug.

We might also want to exploit third party connection pooling resources - web app containers and application context providers come to mind, maybe the apache commons pooling tool.
At one point I experimented with hooking into Metacat's existing (roll your own) connection pooling, but it proved more difficult than I'd anticipated and also blurred the lines between the different databases in a way that seemed slightly risky given the newness of DML.
As the DML is exercised, I think it'll be more obvious if and how additional connection pooling strategies can be used.
