Comment 6 for bug 954971

I'm not sure this is actually fixed the issue anymore and perhaps has regressed if the MySQLPingListener did in fact reconnect after servers have 'gone away' As a test, I'm starting glance, running 'glance index' and restarting the mysql server. The next run of 'glance index' produces a traceback on the client and server side, dumping the "Mysql server has gone away" error. I believe the functions in get_session + get_engine are not enough to catch the error when executed against the database connection. If someone else can confirm, this bug should be reopenned.
