Avoid trapped in db connecting state if mistakenly call db.open first and server connect afterward.

Avoid trapped in db connecting state if mistakenly call db.open first and server connect afterward.

Client insert command will keep pushing to commands list if db._state is always connecting and set to autoreconnect.

Line 1886 in db.js method Db.prototype._executeInsertCommand:
if(self._state == 'connecting' && this.serverConfig.autoReconnect)

Why are you calling db.open and server.connect. Server connect should never be called by your code

Hi Christian,

Thanks for confirming me that Server connect should never be called by our
code.
This issue is found when I am using the connect-mongodb(
https://github.com/masylum/connect-mongodb) and hit that.

I think I might also submit fix to them or notify the owner.
However, I also think that because this method in reality now can be
mistakenly called by others, if that is your design decision, maybe it's
better to state in document more clearly or make the Server connect private
to outside.

BTW, I would like to ask you a question regarding what is the most
appropriate way for mongodb connection management in nodejs.
I saw your reply in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10307994/where-can-i-find-complete-documentation-concerning-node-mongodb-native/10349450#10349450
:
DO NOT call open on each request

I think then we should wrap the nodejs app server startup in the callback
of db.open method for connection pool sharing?

But I saw another reply in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10656574/how-to-manage-mongodb-connections-in-a-nodejs-webapp
This looks strange and make me confusing.

I wonder whether the document for nodejs-mongodb-native should document
this issue more clearly.
Thanks.
