Description

These lines result in an index exception, trying to connect to the instance that actively applies DDL due to the race with the tarantool object creation:

https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool-python/blob/28310fc4e927c77d3be75e98360bf3b09f72482a/tarantool/connection.py#L1409-L1410

As these two fetches are non-transactional, the second one can return an index for space that is not fetched at the first fetch, resulting in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tarantool/connection.py", line 1097, in connect
    self.load_schema()
  File "/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tarantool/connection.py", line 1316, in load_schema
    self.schema.fetch_index_all()
  File "/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tarantool/schema.py", line 377, in fetch_index_all
    SchemaIndex(row, self.schema[row[0]])

Research direction

Start in tarantool/connection.py at the linked lines around 1409-1410, then follow load_schema into tarantool/schema.py and fetch_index_all at the failing call. Reproduce the concurrent Tarantool object-creation case and inspect how the two non-transactional fetches interact. Done means load_schema no longer raises an index exception and handles a consistent schema.
