🔵 Needs a closer look
The implementation appears coherent, but its intentional public API break still requires the documented maintainer decision on release targeting.
Pull request overview
Makes host_id the stable canonical identity for hosts and host-keyed runtime state.
Changes:
- Defines Host equality, hashing, and ordering by immutable UUID.
- Preserves pool and topology behavior across endpoint changes.
- Adds regression coverage and documents the breaking API change.

The checklist says "I have split my patch into logically separate commits", but this is one commit doing three independent things: the Host identity change, the same-endpoint/new-host_id reconciliation, and the _on_timeout control-connection fix. The last one is a pre-existing bug that doesn't depend on host_id identity at all — pulling it into its own commit would make it much easier to review, backport and revert.

One Minor on the new reconciliation path, the rest are nits. +1 on splitting the _on_timeout fix into its own commit — it stands on its own as a bug fix and reads much better separated from the identity change.
Not approving yet: waiting on @sylwiaszunejko's open threads to be resolved. No objection to the direction — host_id as the canonical identity is the right call.

Use immutable UUID host IDs for equality, hashing, and ordering while retaining Host-keyed session pools. Reconcile reused endpoints through the existing lifecycle without overlapping control reconnects, fence pool publication after lifecycle removal, and preserve replacement recovery across partial failures and reconnector handoffs. Keep control-timeout cleanup separate from data pools and update unit and integration coverage.

Closes #867.
Part of #921.
Motivation
Hostcurrently derives equality and hashing from its endpoint even thoughtopology refresh can change that endpoint. Once a
Hostis used as a dictionarykey or set member, an IP change can therefore make pools and policy state
unreachable. The legacy
Host == addressbehavior also violates Python'sequality/hash contract.
Change
uuid.UUIDthe required, read-onlyHost.host_id.Hostequality, hashing, and ordering solely byhost_id.Hostand an address.Session._poolskeyed byHost; stable host-ID hashing keeps lookup andremoval valid after endpoint changes.
pool.host, including the publicSession.get_pool_state()result, so an equal replacement exposes thecurrent Host rather than Python's retained dictionary key object.
a control connection cannot be returned through a session pool for the same
host.
Hostobject is removedthrough the cluster lifecycle, pool creation already in flight for that object
closes and discards its result instead of publishing a stale session pool.
row reports a different ID at an already-known endpoint, remove the old host
through the existing cluster lifecycle before adding its replacement. Avoid
starting a nested topology refresh during that reconciliation.
Scope boundary
This PR establishes stable host identity; it does not redesign endpoint
transitions.
In particular, it does not:
host_idendpoint transition acrossmetadata, pools, policies, listeners, and client routes;
Host.endpointimmutable; orpool or connection failures, shard-connection work, request completion, or
same-host endpoint changes.
The removal-publication check above is intentionally narrower than that deferred
fencing work. It only makes lifecycle removal terminal for that
Hostobject andprevents a pool construction that finishes later from inserting it into
Session._pools. It does not cancel the task, introduce topology generations, orfence its other side effects.
That work remains in #922, #923, #924, and #925. The endpoint-transition owner
belongs specifically to #923. The broader single-owner cluster/pool-manager
architecture proposed by #382 is intentionally not part of this PR.
The small different-ID/same-endpoint guard in this PR is required to avoid a
regression when
host_idbecomes read-only; it is not intended to establishthe general endpoint-transition design.
Lifecycle cleanup for topology-discovered removals with host-ID-bearing
endpoint types remains tracked separately by #1007.
Compatibility
This is an intentional API compatibility break:
Hostaccepts only a non-niluuid.UUIDashost_id.Host.host_idcan no longer be reassigned.Host == addressis now false.The private
Session._poolsrepresentation remains keyed byHost. There areno CQL protocol or wire-format changes.
Although these are technically public API incompatibilities, their practical
impact is limited to code that directly constructs
Host, reassignshost_id,compares a
Hostwith an address, or depends on endpoint-based Host ordering.Normal
ClusterandSessionusage receives Host objects from the driver and isnot affected by those construction details. The stable identity semantics also
fix incorrect dictionary and set behavior that cannot be preserved compatibly.
Given this limited surface and the correctness benefit, this PR will not pursue a
major-version bump solely for these changes.
