Advice on cacheing producers

Is there a best practice on how to handle producer objects for long running apps?

Right now I have an app that is long running and will sit for large stretches of time (days/weeks) with next to none load and then get slammed. In that case I'd like to cache the producer so I don't incur  a hit in creating a producer connection. Is it a problem to keep that producer cached? Or should I create a new producer every batch of messages I send?

Thanks,
Karl

You don't want to create a new producer for every batch of messages.
Keeping the producer connection open should be fine.

Thanks,

Jun
