Пул соединений Cassandra Pycassa, как правильно использовать?

Чтобы ускорить вставку Cassandra, я использую многопоточность, она работает нормально, но если я добавлю больше потоков, это не будет иметь никакого значения, я думаю, что не генерирую больше соединений, я думаю, может быть, мне следует использовать пул. execute(f, *args, **kwargs) но я не знаю как им пользоваться, документация довольно скудная. Вот мой код до сих пор..
