Client Mocking

For testing purposes it is often useful to replace the client used for communication with the crate server with a stub or mock.

This can be done by passing a object of the Client class when calling the connect method:

>>> from crate import client
>>> class MyConnectionClient:
...     def __init__(self):
...         pass
...     def sql(self, stmt=None, parameters=None):
...         pass
>>> connection = client.connect([crate_host], client=MyConnectionClient())
