This method is called to test if an idle object in the pool should be
evicted or not.

Params:
  • config –    The pool configuration settings related to eviction
  • underTest – The pooled object being tested for eviction
  • idleCount – The current number of idle objects in the pool including
                     the object under test
Returns:true if the object should be evicted, otherwise
            false
