Simple Mongoose program to facilitate testing MongoDB auto-reconnect in client

reconnect-mongoose.js

//
// Program to query a local mongodb every second. This should auto-reconnect.
//
// Instructions: 
//
// 1) start mongod
// 2) npm i [email protected] && node reconnect-mongoose.js
// 3) kill mongod
// 4) after a short interval, restart mongod
//
// Mongoose (3.6.9) should auto-reconnect when mongod has restarted,
// but doesn't appear to.
//
/*
Sample output:

$ node reconnect-mongoose.js
