amoeba 的安装和配置参考http://docs.hexnova.com/amoeba/index.html
安装和配置的过程比较简单，在此记录一个使用过程中遇到的问题：

查了一些资料，修改了以下三个参数，重启后依然没起作用。
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/error-lost-connection.html
mysql>show variables like 'connect_timeout';
mysql>show variables like 'net_read_timeout';
mysql>show variables like 'max_allowed_packet';

仔细检查dbServers.xml配置后发现factoryConfig中
<property name="password">password</property>
默认是被注释掉的，注释取消后正常。
<factoryConfig class="com.meidusa.amoeba.mysql.net.MysqlServerConnectionFactory">
<property name="manager">${defaultManager}</property>
<property name="sendBufferSize">64</property>
<property name="receiveBufferSize">128</property>
