/**
 * Implement this interface to provide a new load balancing strategy for URLs of the form "jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://..", and provide the implementation class
 * name as the configuration parameter "loadBalanceStrategy".
 * 
 * The driver will not pass in a Connection instance when calling init(), but it will pass in the Properties, otherwise it acts like a normal Extension.
 * 
 * One instance of a strategy *per* JDBC connection instance will be created. If you need singleton-like behavior, you're on your own to provide it.

     *            the JDBC connection, and serves as a factory for new
     *            connections for this strategy via the

     *            for each host in the configured hosts list.
     * @param numRetries
     *            the number of times the driver expects this strategy to re-try
     *            connection attempts if creating a new connection fails.
     * @return the physical JDBC connection for the application to use, based
     *         upon the strategy employed.
