Chris Vest 4a409d2458 Add benchmark for closing pooled buffers
Motivation:
Pooled buffers are a very important use case, and they change the cost dynamics around shared memory segments, so it's worth looking into in detail.

Modification:
Add another explicit close of pooled direct buffers to MemorySegmentClosedByCleanerBenchmark

Result:
Explicitly closing of pooled buffers is even out-performing cleaner close on the "heavy" workload, so this is currently the fastest way to run that workload:

Benchmark                                                  (workload)  Mode  Cnt   Score   Error  Units
MemorySegmentClosedByCleanerBenchmark.cleanerClose              heavy  avgt  150  14,194 ± 0,558  us/op
MemorySegmentClosedByCleanerBenchmark.explicitClose             heavy  avgt  150  40,496 ± 0,414  us/op
MemorySegmentClosedByCleanerBenchmark.explicitPooledClose       heavy  avgt  150  12,723 ± 0,134  us/op

Netty Incubator Buffer API

This repository is incubating a new buffer API proposed for Netty 5.

Building and Testing

Short version: just run make.

The project currently relies on snapshot versions of the Panama Foreign fork of OpenJDK. This allows us to test out the must recent version of the jdk.incubator.foreign APIs, but also make building and local development more involved. To simplify things, we have a Docker based build, controlled via a Makefile with the following commands:

  • image build the docker image. This includes building a snapshot of OpenJDK, and download all relevant Maven dependencies.
  • test run all tests in a docker container. This implies image. The container is automatically deleted afterwards.
  • dbg drop into a shell in the build container, without running the build itself. The debugging container is not deleted afterwards.
  • clean remote the debugging container created by dbg.
  • build build binaries and run all tests in a container, and copy the target directory out of the container afterwards. This is the default build target.
