share instances across threads. In multiprocessing scenarios, the best
practice is to create client instances *after* the invocation of
[`os.fork()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.fork) by [`multiprocessing.pool.Pool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.Pool) or
[`multiprocessing.Process`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.Process).
