+ - `weights` (optional) - The worker weights to use in weighted round robin worker choice strategies: `{ 0: 200, 1: 300, ..., n: 100 }`.
- Default: `{ medRunTime: false }`
+ Default: `{ runTime: { median: false }, waitTime: { median: false }, elu: { median: false } }`

- Default: false
+ Default: `false`
- `tasksQueueOptions` (optional) - The worker tasks queue options object to use in this pool.
Properties:
Default: `{ concurrency: 1 }`
- #### Thread pool specific options
+#### `ThreadPoolOptions extends PoolOptions`
- - `workerOptions` (optional) - An object with the worker options. See [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_new_worker_filename_options) for more details.
+- `workerOptions` (optional) - An object with the worker options to pass to worker. See [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_new_worker_filename_options) for more details.
- #### Cluster pool specific options
+#### `ClusterPoolOptions extends PoolOptions`
- - `env` (optional) - An object with the environment variables to pass to the worker. See [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster_fork_env) for more details.
+- `env` (optional) - An object with the environment variables to pass to worker. See [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster_fork_env) for more details.
- - `settings` (optional) - An object with the cluster settings. See [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster_settings) for more details.
+- `settings` (optional) - An object with the cluster settings. See [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster_settings) for more details.
### `pool = new FixedThreadPool/FixedClusterPool(numberOfThreads/numberOfWorkers, filePath, opts)`
### `pool.execute(data, name)`
`data` (optional) An object that you want to pass to your worker implementation
+`name` (optional) A string with the task function name that you want to execute on the worker. Default: `'default'`
This method is available on both pool implementations and returns a promise.
-`name` (optional) A string with the task function name that you want to execute on the worker. Default: `default`
### `pool.destroy()`
The last active time of your worker unit will be updated when a task is submitted to a worker or when a worker terminate a task.
If `killBehavior` is set to `KillBehaviors.HARD` this value represents also the timeout for the tasks that you submit to the pool, when this timeout expires your tasks is interrupted and the worker is killed if is not part of the minimum size of the pool.
If `killBehavior` is set to `KillBehaviors.SOFT` your tasks have no timeout and your workers will not be terminated until your task is completed.
- Default: 60000
+ Default: `60000`
- `killBehavior` (optional) - Dictates if your async unit (worker/process) will be deleted in case that a task is active on it.
- **KillBehaviors.SOFT**: If `currentTime - lastActiveTime` is greater than `maxInactiveTime` but a task is still running, then the worker **won't** be deleted.
- **KillBehaviors.HARD**: If `currentTime - lastActiveTime` is greater than `maxInactiveTime` but a task is still running, then the worker will be deleted.
+ **KillBehaviors.SOFT**: If `currentTime - lastActiveTime` is greater than `maxInactiveTime` but a task is still executing or queued, then the worker **won't** be deleted.
+ **KillBehaviors.HARD**: If `currentTime - lastActiveTime` is greater than `maxInactiveTime` but a task is still executing or queued, then the worker will be deleted.
This option only apply to the newly created workers.
Default: `KillBehaviors.SOFT`
To choose your pool consider that with a FixedThreadPool/FixedClusterPool or a DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool (in this case is important the min parameter passed to the constructor) your application memory footprint will increase.
Increasing the memory footprint, your application will be ready to accept more tasks, but during idle time your application will consume more memory.
-One good choose from my point of view is to profile your application using Fixed/Dynamic worker pool, and to see your application metrics when you increase/decrease the num of workers.
+One good choice from poolifier team point of view is to profile your application using fixed or dynamic worker pool, and to see your application metrics when you increase/decrease the num of workers.
For example you could keep the memory footprint low choosing a DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool with 5 workers, and allow to create new workers until 50/100 when needed, this is the advantage to use the DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool.
But in general, **always profile your application**.
