Documentation is unclear about when actual server connection occurs

[robross0606]

Unless I'm missing it, the documentation is very unclear about when initial connection to the database occurs. The documentation for new Database() implies a connection pool is created, but doesn't state if an actual network connection is initialized at that point. But initializing a network connection in a constructor feels like a bit of a code smell to me. Which API calls initialize an actual network connection?

As ArangoDB uses HTTP and the driver currently uses HTTP1, connections are only opened as necessary rather than in advance. With keep-alive (the default), the connections will however be reused and may remain open after the first use.

I'm converting this to a discussion as this is not really an bug or feature request.
