So, you confirm that the current implementation of nginx doesn't pipeline
towards upstream, and there is no way to enable that functionality?

Which configuration parameter of upstream server can be used for that?
According to the documentation, we have max_fails. Is that what you were
referring to? max_conns is for connections (not for the requests) and it is
present only on nginx plus.
