3482651e0c HTTP/2 Non Active Stream RFC Corrections
Motivation:
codec-http2 couples the dependency tree state with the remainder of the stream state (Http2Stream). This makes implementing constraints where stream state and dependency tree state diverge in the RFC challenging. For example the RFC recommends retaining dependency tree state after a stream transitions to closed [1]. Dependency tree state can be exchanged on streams in IDLE. In practice clients may use stream IDs for the purpose of establishing QoS classes and therefore retaining this dependency tree state can be important to client perceived performance. It is difficult to limit the total amount of state we retain when stream state and dependency tree state is combined.

Modifications:
- Remove dependency tree, priority, and weight related items from public facing Http2Connection and Http2Stream APIs. This information is optional to track and depends on the flow controller implementation.
- Move all dependency tree, priority, and weight related code from DefaultHttp2Connection to WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor. This is currently the only place which cares about priority. We can pull out the dependency tree related code in the future if it is generally useful to expose for other implementations.
- DefaultHttp2Connection should explicitly limit the number of reserved streams now that IDLE streams are no longer created.

Result:
More compliant with the HTTP/2 RFC.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6206.

e13da218e9 HTTP/2 revert Http2FrameWriter throws API change
Motivation:
2fd42cfc6b fixed a bug related to encoding headers but it also introduced a throws statement onto the Http2FrameWriter methods which write headers. This throws statement makes the API more verbose and is not necessary because we can communicate the failure in the ChannelFuture that is returned by these methods.

Modifications:
- Remove throws from all Http2FrameWriter methods.

Result:
Http2FrameWriter APIs do not propagate checked exceptions.

3344cd21ac Wrap operations requiring SocketPermission with doPrivileged blocks
Motivation:

Currently Netty does not wrap socket connect, bind, or accept
operations in doPrivileged blocks. Nor does it wrap cases where a dns
lookup might happen.

This prevents an application utilizing the SecurityManager from
isolating SocketPermissions to Netty.

Modifications:

I have introduced a class (SocketUtils) that wraps operations
requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivileged blocks.

Result:

A user of Netty can grant SocketPermissions explicitly to the Netty
jar, without granting it to the rest of their application.

2fd42cfc6b HTTP/2 Max Header List Size Bug
Motivation:
If the HPACK Decoder detects that SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE has been violated it aborts immediately and sends a RST_STREAM frame for what ever stream caused the issue. Because HPACK is stateful this means that the HPACK state may become out of sync between peers, and the issue won't be detected until the next headers frame. We should make a best effort to keep processing to keep the HPACK state in sync with our peer, or completely close the connection.
If the HPACK Encoder is configured to verify SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE it checks the limit and encodes at the same time. This may result in modifying the HPACK local state but not sending the headers to the peer if SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is violated. This will also lead to an inconsistency in HPACK state that will be flagged at some later time.

Modifications:
- HPACK Decoder now has 2 levels of limits related to SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The first will attempt to keep processing data and send a RST_STREAM after all data is processed. The second will send a GO_AWAY and close the entire connection.
- When the HPACK Encoder enforces SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE it should not modify the HPACK state until the size has been checked.
- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.5.2 states that the initial value of SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is "unlimited". We currently use 8k as a limit. We should honor the specifications default value so we don't unintentionally close a connection before the remote peer is aware of the local settings.
- Remove unnecessary object allocation in DefaultHttp2HeadersDecoder and DefaultHttp2HeadersEncoder.

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6209.

b701da8d1c HTTP/2 HPACK Integer Encoding Bugs
Motivation:
- Decoder#decodeULE128 has a bounds bug and cannot decode Integer.MAX_VALUE
- Decoder#decodeULE128 doesn't support values greater than can be represented with Java's int data type. This is a problem because there are cases that require at least unsigned 32 bits (max header table size).
- Decoder#decodeULE128 treats overflowing the data type and invalid input the same. This can be misleading when inspecting the error that is thrown.
- Encoder#encodeInteger doesn't support values greater than can be represented with Java's int data type. This is a problem because there are cases that require at least unsigned 32 bits (max header table size).

Modifications:
- Correct the above issues and add unit tests.

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6210.

06e7627b5f Read Only Http2Headers
Motivation:
A read only implementation of Http2Headers can allow for a more efficient usage of memory and more performant combined construction and iteration during serialization.

Modifications:
- Add a new ReadOnlyHttp2Headers class

Result:
ReadOnlyHttp2Headers exists and can be used for performance reasons when appropriate.

edc4842309 Fix cookie date parsing, close #6016
Motivation:
* RFC6265 defines its own parser which is different from RFC1123 (it accepts RFC1123 format but also other ones). Basically, it's very lax on delimiters, ignores day of week and timezone. Currently, ClientCookieDecoder uses HttpHeaderDateFormat underneath, and can't parse valid cookies such as Github ones whose expires attribute looks like "Sun, 27 Nov 2016 19:37:15 -0000"
* ServerSideCookieEncoder currently uses HttpHeaderDateFormat underneath for formatting expires field, and it's slow.

Modifications:
* Introduce HttpHeaderDateFormatter that correctly implement RFC6265
* Use HttpHeaderDateFormatter in ClientCookieDecoder and ServerCookieEncoder
* Deprecate HttpHeaderDateFormat

Result:
* Proper RFC6265 dates support
* Faster ServerCookieEncoder and ClientCookieDecoder
* Faster tool for handling headers such as "Expires" and "Date"

c9918de37b http2: Make MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE exceeded a stream error when encoding.
Motivation:

The SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE limit, as enforced by the HPACK Encoder, should be a stream error and not apply to the whole connection.

Modifications:

Made the necessary changes for the exception to be of type StreamException.

Result:

A HEADERS frame exceeding the limit, only affects a specific stream.

540c26bb56 HTTP/2 Ensure default settings are correctly enforced and interfaces clarified
Motivation:
The responsibility for retaining the settings values and enforcing the settings constraints is spread out in different areas of the code and may be initialized with different values than the default specified in the RFC. This should not be allowed by default and interfaces which are responsible for maintaining/enforcing settings state should clearly indicate the restrictions that they should only be set by the codec upon receipt of a SETTINGS ACK frame.

Modifications:
- Encoder, Decoder, and the Headers Encoder/Decoder no longer expose public constructors that allow the default settings to be changed.
- Http2HeadersDecoder#maxHeaderSize() exists to provide some bound when headers/continuation frames are being aggregated. However this is roughly the same as SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE (besides the 32 byte octet for each header field) and can be used instead of attempting to keep the two independent values in sync.
- Encoding headers now enforces SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE at the octect level. Previously the header encoder compared the number of header key/value pairs against SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE instead of the number of octets (plus 32 bytes overhead).
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder#onData calls shouldIgnoreHeadersOrDataFrame but may swallow exceptions from this method. This means a STREAM_RST frame may not be sent when it should for an unknown stream and thus violate the RFC. The exception is no longer swallowed.

Result:
Default settings state is enforced and interfaces related to settings state are clarified.

67d3a78123 Reduce bytecode size of PlatformDependent0.equals.
Motivation:

PP0.equals has a bytecode size of 476. This is above the default inlining threshold of OpenJDK.

Modifications:

Slightly change the method to reduce the bytecode size by > 50% to 212 bytes.

Result:

The bytecode size is dramatically reduced, making the method a candidate for inlining.
The relevant code in our application (gRPC) that relies heavily on equals comparisons,
runs some ~10% faster. The Netty JMH benchmark shows no performance regression.

Current 4.1:

PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual      10  avgt   20     7.836 ±   0.113  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual      50  avgt   20    16.889 ±   4.284  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual     100  avgt   20    15.601 ±   0.296  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual    1000  avgt   20    95.885 ±   1.992  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual   10000  avgt   20   824.429 ±  12.792  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual  100000  avgt   20  8907.035 ± 177.844  ns/op

With this change:

PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual      10  avgt   20      5.616 ±   0.102  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual      50  avgt   20     17.896 ±   0.373  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual     100  avgt   20     14.952 ±   0.210  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual    1000  avgt   20     94.799 ±   1.604  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual   10000  avgt   20    834.996 ±  17.484  ns/op
PlatformDependentBenchmark.unsafeBytesEqual  100000  avgt   20   8757.421 ± 187.555  ns/op

208893aac9 HTTP/2 Hpack Encoder Cleanup
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 HPACK Encoder class has some code which is only used for test purposes. This code can be removed to reduce complexity and member variable count.

- Other minor cleanup

Result:
Test code is removed from operational code.

21e8d84b79 HTTP/2 Simplify Headers Decode Bounds Checking
Motivation:
The HPACK decoder keeps state so that the decode method can be called multiple times with successive header fragments. This decoder also requires that a method is called to signify the decoding is complete. At this point status is returned to indicate if the max header size has been violated. Netty always accumulates the header fragments into a single buffer before attempting to HPACK decode process and so keeping state and delaying notification that bounds have been exceeded is not necessary.

Modifications:
- HPACK Decoder#decode(..) now must be called with a complete header block
- HPACK will terminate immediately if the maximum header length, or maximum number of headers is exceeded
- Reduce member variables in the HPACK Decoder class because they can now live in the decode(..) method

Result:
HPACK bounds checking is done earlier and less class state is needed.

82b617dfe9 retainSlice() unwrap ByteBuf
Motivation:
retainSlice() currently does not unwrap the ByteBuf when creating the ByteBuf wrapper. This effectivley forms a linked list of ByteBuf when it is only necessary to maintain a reference to the unwrapped ByteBuf.

Modifications:
- retainSlice() and retainDuplicate() variants should only maintain a reference to the unwrapped ByteBuf
- create new unit tests which generally verify the retainSlice() behavior
- Remove unecessary generic arguments from AbstractPooledDerivedByteBuf
- Remove unecessary int length member variable from the unpooled sliced ByteBuf implementation
- Rename the unpooled sliced/derived ByteBuf to include Unpooled in their name to be more consistent with the Pooled variants

Result:

6af56ffe76 HPACK Encoder headerFields improvements
Motivation:
HPACK Encoder has a data structure which is similar to a previous version of DefaultHeaders. Some of the same improvements can be made.

Motivation:
- Enforce the restriction that the Encoder's headerFields length must be a power of two so we can use masking instead of modulo
- Use AsciiString.hashCode which already has optimizations instead of having yet another hash code algorithm in Encoder

Result:

a7f7d9c8e0 Remove unsafe char[] access in PlatformDependent
Motivation:
PlatformDependent attempts to use reflection to get the underlying char[] (or byte[]) from String objects. This is fragile as if the String implementation does not utilize the full array, and instead uses a subset of the array, this optimization is invalid. OpenJDK6 and some earlier versions of OpenJDK7 String have the capability to use a subsection of the underlying char[].

Modifications:
- PlatformDependent should not attempt to use the underlying array from String (or other data types) via reflection

Result:
PlatformDependent hash code generation for CharSequence does not depend upon specific JDK implementation details.

70651cc58d HpackUtil.equals performance improvement
Motivation:
PR #5355 modified interfaces to reduce GC related to the HPACK code. However this came with an anticipated performance regression related to HpackUtil.equals due to AsciiString's increase cost of charAt(..). We should mitigate this performance regression.

Modifications:
- Introduce an equals method in PlatformDependent which doesn't leak timing information and use this in HpcakUtil.equals

b4d4c0034d Optimize HPACK usage to align more with Netty types and remove heavy object creations. Related to [#3597]
Motivations:

The HPACK code was not really optimized and written with Netty types in mind. Because of this a lot of garbage was created due heavy object creation.

This was first reported in [#3597] and https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/1872 .

Modifications:

- Directly use ByteBuf as input and output
- Make use of ByteProcessor where possible
- Use AsciiString as this is the only thing we need for our http2 usage

Result:

Less garbage and better usage of Netty apis.

e59d0e9efb Introduce CodecOutputList to reduce overhead of encoder/decoder
Motivation:

99dfc9ea79 introduced some code that will more frequently try to forward messages out of the list of decoded messages to reduce latency and memory footprint. Unfortunally this has the side-effect that RecycleableArrayList.clear() will be called more often and so introduce some overhead as ArrayList will null out the array on each call.

Modifications:

- Introduce a CodecOutputList which allows to not null out the array until we recycle it and also allows to access internal array with extra range checks.
- Add benchmark that add elements to different List implementations and clear them

Result:

Less overhead when decode / encode messages.

Unfortunually this not really worked out quite well and resulted in just more complexity and splitting of code that belongs together. We should remove the ChannelHandlerInvoker again and just do the same as in 4.0

Modifications:

Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker again and replace its usage in Http2MultiplexCodec

Result:

Easier code and less bad abstractions.

d580245afc DefaultHttp2Connection.close Reentrant Modification
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Conneciton.close method accounts for active streams being iterated and attempts to avoid reentrant modifications of the underlying stream map by using iterators to remove from the stream map. However there are a few issues:

- While iterating over the stream map we don't prevent iterations over the active stream collection
- Removing a single stream may actually remove > 1 streams due to closed non-leaf streams being preserved in the priority tree which may result in NPE

Preserving closed non-leaf streams in the priority tree is no longer necessary with our current allocation algorithms, and so this feature (and related complexity) can be removed.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2Connection.close should prevent others from iterating over the active streams and reentrant modification scenarios which may result from this
- DefaultHttp2Connection should not keep closed stream in the priority tree
  - Remove all associated code in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController which accounts for this case including the ReducedState object
  - This includes fixing writability changes which depended on ReducedState
- Update unit tests

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198

9229ed98e2 [#5088] Add annotation which marks packages/interfaces/classes as unstable
Motivation:

Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.

Modifications:

- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.

Result:

f990f9983d HTTP/2 Don't Flow Control Iniital Headers
Motivation:
Currently the initial headers for every stream is queued in the flow controller. Since the initial header frame may create streams the peer must receive these frames in the order in which they were created, or else this will be a protocol error and the connection will be closed. Tolerating the initial headers being queued would increase the complexity of the WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor and there is benefit of doing so is not clear.

Modifications:
- The initial headers will no longer be queued in the flow controllers

6dbb610f5b Add ChannelHandlerContext.invoker()
Motivation:

Being able to access the invoker() is useful when adding additional
handlers that should be running in the same thread. Since an application
may be using a threading model unsupported by the default invoker, they
can specify their own. Because of that, in a handler that auto-adds
other handlers:

// This is a good pattern
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.invoker(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);
// This will generally work, but prevents using custom invoker.
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.executor(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);

That's why I believe in commit 110745b0, for the now-defunct 5.0 branch,
when ChannelHandlerAppender was added the invoker() method was also
necessary.

There is a side-benefit to exposing the invoker: in certain advanced
use-cases using the invoker for a particular handler is useful. Using
the invoker you are able to invoke a _particular_ handler, from possibly
a different thread yet still using standard exception processing.

ChannelHandlerContext does part of that, but is unwieldy when trying to
invoke a particular handler because it invokes the prev or next handler,
not the one the context is for. A workaround is to use the next or prev
context (respectively), but this breaks when the pipeline changes.

This came up during writing the Http2MultiplexCodec which uses a
separate child channel for each http/2 stream and wants to send messages
from the child channel directly to the Http2MultiplexCodec handler that
created it.

Modifications:

Add the invoker() method to ChannelHandlerContext. It was already being
implemented by AbstractChannelHandlerContext. The two other
implementations of ChannelHandlerContext needed minor tweaks.

Result:

Access to the invoker used for a particular handler, for either reusing
for other handlers or for advanced use-cases. Fixes #4738

904e70a4d4 HTTP/2 Weighted Fair Queue Byte Distributor
Motivation:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor uses a homegrown algorithm which distributes bytes to nodes in the priority tree. PriorityStreamByteDistributor has no concept of goodput which may result in poor utilization of network resources. PriorityStreamByteDistributor also has performance issues related to the tree traversal approach and number of nodes that must be visited. There also exists some more proven algorithms from the resource scheduling domain which PriorityStreamByteDistributor does not employ.

Modifications:
- Introduce a new ByteDistributor which uses elements from weighted fair queue schedulers

Result:
StreamByteDistributor which is sensitive to priority and uses a more familiar distribution concept.

2202e8f967 Revamp the Http2ConnectionHandler builder API
Related: #4572

Motivation:

- A user might want to extend Http2ConnectionHandler and define his/her
  own static inner Builder class that extends
  Http2ConnectionHandler.BuilderBase. This introduces potential
  confusion because there's already Http2ConnectionHandler.Builder. Your
  IDE will warn about this name duplication as well.
- BuilderBase exposes all setters with public modifier. A user's Builder
  might not want to expose them to enforce it to certain configuration.
  There's no way to hide them because it's public already and they are
  final.
- BuilderBase.build(Http2ConnectionDecoder, Http2ConnectionEncoder)
  ignores most properties exposed by BuilderBase, such as
  validateHeaders, frameLogger and encoderEnforceMaxConcurrentStreams.
  If any build() method ignores the properties exposed by the builder,
  there's something wrong.
- A user's Builder that extends BuilderBase might want to require more
  parameters in build(). There's no way to do that cleanly because
  build() is public and final already.

Modifications:

- Make BuilderBase and Builder top-level so that there's no duplicate
  name issue anymore.
  - Add AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  - Add Http2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  - Add HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
- Make all builder methods in AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  protected so that a subclass can choose which methods to expose
- Provide only a single build() method
  - Add connection() and codec() so that a user can still specify
    Http2Connection or Http2Connection(En|De)coder explicitly
  - Implement proper state validation mechanism so that it is prevented
    to invoke conflicting setters

Result:

Less confusing yet flexible builder API

641505a5d2 DefaultChannelConfig maxMessagesPerRead default not always set
Motivation:
ChannelMetadata has a field minMaxMessagesPerRead which can be confusing. There are also some cases where static instances are used and the default value for channel type is not being applied.

Modifications:
- use a default value which is set unconditionally to simplify
- make sure static instances of MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator are not used if the intention is that the default maxMessagesPerRead should be derived from the channel type.

Result:
Less confusing interfaces in ChannelMetadata and ChannelConfig. Default maxMessagesPerRead is correctly applied.

2a2059d976 Adding UniformStreamByteDistributor
Motivation:

The current priority algorithm can yield poor per-stream goodput when either the number of streams is high or the connection window is small. When all priorities are the same (i.e. priority is disabled), we should be able to do better.

Modifications:

Added a new UniformStreamByteDistributor that ignores priority entirely and manages a queue of streams.  Each stream is allocated a minimum of 1KiB on each iteration.

Result:

Improved goodput when priority is not used.

6504d52b94 Add HTTP/2 local flow control option for auto refill
Motivation:

For many HTTP/2 applications (such as gRPC) it is necessary to autorefill the connection window in order to prevent application-level deadlocking.

Consider an application with 2 streams, A and B.  A receives a stream of messages and the application pops off one message at a time and makes a request on stream B. However, if receiving of data on A has caused the connection window to collapse, B will not be able to receive any data and the application will deadlock.  The only way (currently) to get around this is 1) use multiple connections, or 2) manually refill the connection window.  Both are undesirable and could needlessly complicate the application code.

Modifications:

Add a configuration option to DefaultHttp2LocalFlowController, allowing it to autorefill the connection window.

Result:

Applications can configure HTTP/2 to avoid inter-stream deadlocking.

19658e9cd8 HTTP/2 Headers Type Updates
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2) indicates that header names consist of ASCII characters. We currently use ByteString to represent HTTP/2 header names. The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-10.3) also eludes to header values inheriting the same validity characteristics as HTTP/1.x. Using AsciiString for the value type of HTTP/2 headers would allow for re-use of predefined HTTP/1.x values, and make comparisons more intuitive. The Headers<T> interface could also be expanded to allow for easier use of header types which do not have the same Key and Value type.

Motivation:
- Change Headers<T> to Headers<K, V>
- Change Http2Headers<ByteString> to Http2Headers<CharSequence, CharSequence>
- Remove ByteString. Having AsciiString extend ByteString complicates equality comparisons when the hash code algorithm is no longer shared.

Result:
Http2Header types are more representative of the HTTP/2 RFC, and relationship between HTTP/2 header name/values more directly relates to HTTP/1.x header names/values.

c9364616c8 Fix performance regression in FastThreadLocal microbenchmark. Fixes #4402
Motivation:

As reported in #4402, the FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that the JDK ThreadLocal
is actually faster than Netty's custom thread local implementation.

I was looking forward to doing some deep digging, but got disappointed :(.

Modifications:

The microbenchmark was not using FastThreadLocalThreads and would thus always hit the slow path.
I updated the JMH command line flags, so that FastThreadLocalThreads would be used.

Result:

FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows FastThreadLocal to be faster than JDK's ThreadLocal implementation,
by about 56% in this particular benchmark. Run on OSX El Capitan with OpenJDK 1.8u60.

284e3702d8 Http2ConnectionHandler Builder instead of constructors
Motivation:
Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons:
1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this.
2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction.

Modifications:
- Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects
- Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler

Result:
It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.

1485a87e25 Http2ConnectionHandler and Http2FrameListener cyclic dependency
Motivation:
It is often the case that implementations of Http2FrameListener will want to send responses when data is read. The Http2FrameListener needs access to the Http2ConnectionHandler (or the encoder contained within) to be able to send responses. However the Http2ConnectionHandler requires a Http2FrameListener instance to be passed in during construction time. This creates a cyclic dependency which can make it difficult to cleanly accomplish this relationship.

Modifications:
- Add Http2ConnectionDecoder.frameListener(..) method to set the frame listener. This will allow the listener to be set after construction.

Result:
Classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler can more cleanly set the Http2FrameListener.

6fd0a0c55f Faster and more memory efficient headers for HTTP, HTTP/2, STOMP and SPYD. Fixes #3600
Motivation:

We noticed that the headers implementation in Netty for HTTP/2 uses quite a lot of memory
and that also at least the performance of randomly accessing a header is quite poor. The main
concern however was memory usage, as profiling has shown that a DefaultHttp2Headers
not only use a lot of memory it also wastes a lot due to the underlying hashmaps having
to be resized potentially several times as new headers are being inserted.

This is tracked as issue #3600.

Modifications:
We redesigned the DefaultHeaders to simply take a Map object in its constructor and
reimplemented the class using only the Map primitives. That way the implementation
is very concise and hopefully easy to understand and it allows each concrete headers
implementation to provide its own map or to even use a different headers implementation
for processing requests and writing responses i.e. incoming headers need to provide
fast random access while outgoing headers need fast insertion and fast iteration. The
new implementation can support this with hardly any code changes. It also comes
with the advantage that if the Netty project decides to add a third party collections library
as a dependency, one can simply plug in one of those very fast and memory efficient map
implementations and get faster and smaller headers for free.

For now, we are using the JDK's TreeMap for HTTP and HTTP/2 default headers.

Result:

- Significantly fewer lines of code in the implementation. While the total commit is still
  roughly 400 lines less, the actual implementation is a lot less. I just added some more
  tests and microbenchmarks.

- Overall performance is up. The current implementation should be significantly faster
  for insertion and retrieval. However, it is slower when it comes to iteration. There is simply
  no way a TreeMap can have the same iteration performance as a linked list (as used in the
  current headers implementation). That's totally fine though, because when looking at the
  benchmark results @ejona86 pointed out that the performance of the headers is completely
  dominated by insertion, that is insertion is so significantly faster in the new implementation
  that it does make up for several times the iteration speed. You can't iterate what you haven't
  inserted. I am demonstrating that in this spreadsheet [1]. (Actually, iteration performance is
  only down for HTTP, it's significantly improved for HTTP/2).

- Memory is down. The implementation with TreeMap uses on avg ~30% less memory. It also does not
  produce any garbage while being resized. In load tests for GRPC we have seen a memory reduction
  of up to 1.2KB per RPC. I summarized the memory improvements in this spreadsheet [1]. The data
  was generated by [2] using JOL.

- While it was my original intend to only improve the memory usage for HTTP/2, it should be similarly
  improved for HTTP, SPDY and STOMP as they all share a common implementation.

a7713069a1 HttpObjectDecoder performance improvements
Motivation:
The HttpObjectDecoder is on the hot code path for the http codec. There are a few hot methods which can be modified to improve performance.

Modifications:
- Modify AppendableCharSequence to provide unsafe methods which don't need to re-check bounds for every call.
- Update HttpObjectDecoder methods to take advantage of new AppendableCharSequence methods.

Result:
Peformance boost for decoding http objects.

9747ffe5fc HTTP/2 Flow Controller should use Channel.isWritable()
Motivation:
See #3783

Modifications:
- The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController should use Channel.isWritable() before attempting to do any write operations.
- The Flow controller methods should no longer take ChannelHandlerContext. The concept of flow control is tied to a connection and we do not support 1 flow controller keeping track of multiple ChannelHandlerContext.

Result:
Writes are delayed until isWritable() is true. Flow controller interface methods are more clear as to ChannelHandlerContext restrictions.

05ce33f5ca Make the flow-controllers write fewer, fatter frames to improve throughput.
Motivation:

Coalescing many small writes into a larger DATA frame reduces framing overheads on the wire and reduces the number of calls to Http2FrameListeners on the remote side.
Delaying the write of WINDOW_UPDATE until flush allows for more consumed bytes to be returned as the aggregate of consumed bytes is returned and not the amount consumed when the threshold was crossed.

Modifications:
- Remote flow controller no longer immediately writes bytes when a flow-controlled payload is enqueued. Sequential data payloads are now merged into a single CompositeByteBuf which are written when 'writePendingBytes' is called.
- Listener added to remote flow-controller which observes written bytes per stream.
- Local flow-controller no longer immediately writes WINDOW_UPDATE when the ratio threshold is crossed. Now an explicit call to 'writeWindowUpdates' triggers the WINDOW_UPDATE for all streams who's ratio is exceeded at that time. This results in
  fewer window updates being sent and more bytes being returned.
- Http2ConnectionHandler.flush triggers 'writeWindowUpdates' on the local flow-controller followed by 'writePendingBytes' on the remote flow-controller so WINDOW_UPDATES preceed DATA frames on the wire.

Result:
- Better throughput for writing many small DATA chunks followed by a flush, saving 9-bytes per coalesced frame.
- Fewer WINDOW_UPDATES being written and more flow-control bytes returned to remote side more quickly, thereby improving throughput.

f812180c2d ByteString arrayOffset method
Motivation:
The ByteString class currently assumes the underlying array will be a complete representation of data. This is limiting as it does not allow a subsection of another array to be used. The forces copy operations to take place to compensate for the lack of API support.

Modifications:
- add arrayOffset method to ByteString
- modify all ByteString and AsciiString methods that loop over or index into the underlying array to use this offset
- update all code that uses ByteString.array to ensure it accounts for the offset
- add unit tests to test the implementation respects the offset

Result:
ByteString and AsciiString can represent a sub region of a byte[].

70a2608325 Optimizing user-defined stream properties.
Motivation:

Streams currently maintain a hash map of user-defined properties, which has been shown to add significant memory overhead as well as being a performance bottleneck for lookup of frequently used properties.

Modifications:

Modifying the connection/stream to use an array as the storage of user-defined properties, indexed by the class that identifies the index into the array where the property is stored.

Result:

Stream processing performance should be improved.

541137cc93 HTTP/2 Flow Controller interface updates
Motivation:
Flow control is a required part of the HTTP/2 specification but it is currently structured more like an optional item. It must be accessed through the property map which is time consuming and does not represent its required nature. This access pattern does not give any insight into flow control outside of the codec (or flow controller implementation).

Modifications:
1. Create a read only public interface for LocalFlowState and RemoteFlowState.
2. Add a LocalFlowState localFlowState(); and RemoteFlowState remoteFlowState(); to Http2Stream.

Result:
Flow control is not part of the Http2Stream interface. This clarifies its responsibility and logical relationship to other interfaces. The flow controller no longer must be acquired though a map lookup.

c2de195f87 Improve performance of AsciiString.equals(Object).
Motivation:

The current implementation does byte by byte comparison, which we have seen
can be a performance bottleneck when the AsciiString is used as the key in
a Map.

Modifications:

Use sun.misc.Unsafe (on supporting platforms) to compare up to eight bytes at a time
and get closer to the performance of String.equals(Object).

Result:

Significant improvement (2x - 6x) in performance over the current implementation.

9a7a85dbe5 ByteString introduced as AsciiString super class
Motivation:
The usage and code within AsciiString has exceeded the original design scope for this class. Its usage as a binary string is confusing and on the verge of violating interface assumptions in some spots.

Modifications:
- ByteString will be created as a base class to AsciiString. All of the generic byte handling processing will live in ByteString and all the special character encoding will live in AsciiString.

Results:
The AsciiString interface will be clarified. Users of AsciiString can now be clear of the limitations the class imposes while users of the ByteString class don't have to live with those limitations.

cc7ee002dd HTTP/2 Frame Writer Microbenchmark Fix
Motivation:
The Http2FrameWriterBenchmark JMH harness class name was not updated for the JVM arguments. The number of forks is 0 which means the JHM will share a JVM with the benchmarks.  Sharing the JVM may lead to less reliable benchmarking results and as doesn't allow for the command line arguments to be applied for each benchmark.

Modifications:
- Update the JMH version from 0.9 to 1.7.1.  Benchmarks wouldn't run on old version.
- Increase the number of forks from 0 to 1.
- Remove allocation of environment from static and cleanup AfterClass to using the Setup and Teardown methods. The forked JVM would not shut down correctly otherwise (and wait for 30+ seconds before timeing out).

Result:
Benchmarks that run as intended.

Motivation:

It currently takes a builder for the encoder and decoder, which makes it difficult to decorate them.

Modifications:

Removed the builders from the interfaces entirely. Left the builder for the decoder impl but removed it from the encoder since it's constructor only takes 2 parameters. Also added decorator base classes for the encoder and decoder and made the CompressorHttp2ConnectionEncoder extend the decorator.

fe796fc8ab Provide helper methods in ByteBufUtil to write UTF-8/ASCII CharSequences. Related to [#909]
Motivation:

We expose no methods in ByteBuf to directly write a CharSequence into it. This leads to have the user either convert the CharSequence first to a byte array or use CharsetEncoder. Both cases have some overheads and we can do a lot better for well known Charsets like UTF-8 and ASCII.

Modifications:

Add ByteBufUtil.writeAscii(...) and ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) which can do the task in an optimized way. This is especially true if the passed in ByteBuf extends AbstractByteBuf which is true for all of our implementations which not wrap another ByteBuf.

Result:

Writing an ASCII and UTF-8 CharSequence into a AbstractByteBuf is a lot faster then what the user could do by himself as we can make use of some package private methods and so eliminate reference and range checks. When the Charseq is not ASCII or UTF-8 we can still do a very good job and are on par in most of the cases with what the user would do.

The following benchmark shows the improvements:

7e65c09373 IPv6 address to string rfc5952
Motivation:
The java implementations for Inet6Address.getHostName() do not follow the RFC 5952 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952#section-4) for recommended string representation. This introduces inconsistencies when integrating with other technologies that do follow the RFC.

Modifications:
-NetUtil.java to have another public static method to convert InetAddress to string. Inet4Address will use the java InetAddress.getHostAddress() implementation and there will be new code to implement the RFC 5952 IPV6 string conversion.
-New unit tests to test the new method

Result:
Netty provides a RFC 5952 compliant string conversion method for IPV6 addresses

085a61a310 Refactor FastThreadLocal to simplify TLV management
Motivation:

When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.

FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.

Modifications:

- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
  package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
  initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
  thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
  thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
  thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
  tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
  by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9

Result:

- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
  he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
  way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
  we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
  instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
  performance of FastThreadLocal even more.

Motivation:

Modification:
Add a "FastThreadLocal" which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals (all of the static instances created by netty) that is around 10-20% faster than standard ThreadLocal in my benchmarks (and can be seen having an effect in the direct PooledByteBufAllocator benchmark that uses the DEFAULT ByteBufAllocator which uses this FastThreadLocal, as opposed to normal instantiations that do not, and in the new RecyclableArrayList benchmark);

61dbc353ca [#2436] Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation should only invert bytes if ByteOrder differ from native ByteOrder
Motivation:
Our Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation always invert bytes when the native ByteOrder is LITTLE_ENDIAN (this is true on intel), even when the user calls order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN). This is not optimal for performance reasons as the user should be able to set the ByteOrder to LITTLE_ENDIAN and so write bytes without the extra inverting.

Modification:
- Introduce a new special SwappedByteBuf (called UnsafeDirectSwappedByteBuf) that is used by all the Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation and allows to write without inverting the bytes.
- Add benchmark
- Upgrade jmh to 0.8

Result:
The user is be able to get the max performance even on servers that have ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN as their native ByteOrder.

14158070bf Revamp the core API to reduce memory footprint and consumption
The API changes made so far turned out to increase the memory footprint
and consumption while our intention was actually decreasing them.

Memory consumption issue:

When there are many connections which does not exchange data frequently,
the old Netty 4 API spent a lot more memory than 3 because it always
allocates per-handler buffer for each connection unless otherwise
explicitly stated by a user.  In a usual real world load, a client
doesn't always send requests without pausing, so the idea of having a
buffer whose life cycle if bound to the life cycle of a connection
didn't work as expected.

Memory footprint issue:

The old Netty 4 API decreased overall memory footprint by a great deal
in many cases.  It was mainly because the old Netty 4 API did not
allocate a new buffer and event object for each read.  Instead, it
created a new buffer for each handler in a pipeline.  This works pretty
well as long as the number of handlers in a pipeline is only a few.
However, for a highly modular application with many handlers which
handles connections which lasts for relatively short period, it actually
makes the memory footprint issue much worse.

Changes:

All in all, this is about retaining all the good changes we made in 4 so
far such as better thread model and going back to the way how we dealt
with message events in 3.

To fix the memory consumption/footprint issue mentioned above, we made a
hard decision to break the backward compatibility again with the
following changes:

- Remove MessageBuf
- Merge Buf into ByteBuf
- Merge ChannelInboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelStateHandler into ChannelInboundHandler
  - Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Merge ChannelOutboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelOperationHandler into ChannelOutboundHandler
  - Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Introduce MessageList which is similar to `MessageEvent` in Netty 3
- Replace inboundBufferUpdated(ctx) with messageReceived(ctx, MessageList)
- Replace flush(ctx, promise) with write(ctx, MessageList, promise)
- Remove ByteToByteEncoder/Decoder/Codec
  - Replaced by MessageToByteEncoder<ByteBuf>, ByteToMessageDecoder<ByteBuf>, and ByteMessageCodec<ByteBuf>
- Merge EmbeddedByteChannel and EmbeddedMessageChannel into EmbeddedChannel
- Add SimpleChannelInboundHandler which is sometimes more useful than
  ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter
- Bring back Channel.isWritable() from Netty 3
- Add ChannelInboundHandler.channelWritabilityChanges() event
- Add RecvByteBufAllocator configuration property
  - Similar to ReceiveBufferSizePredictor in Netty 3
  - Some existing configuration properties such as
    DatagramChannelConfig.receivePacketSize is gone now.
- Remove suspend/resumeIntermediaryDeallocation() in ByteBuf

This change would have been impossible without @normanmaurer's help. He
fixed, ported, and improved many parts of the changes.

03e68482bb Remove ChannelBuf/ByteBuf.Unsafe
- Fixes #826
Unsafe.isFreed(), free(), suspend/resumeIntermediaryAllocations() are not that dangerous. internalNioBuffer() and internalNioBuffers() are dangerous but it seems like nobody is using it even inside Netty. Removing those two methods also removes the necessity to keep Unsafe interface at all.

b47fc77522 Add PooledByteBufAllocator + microbenchmark module
This pull request introduces the new default ByteBufAllocator implementation based on jemalloc, with a some differences:

* Minimum possible buffer capacity is 16 (jemalloc: 2)
* Uses binary heap with random branching (jemalloc: red-black tree)
* No thread-local cache yet (jemalloc has thread-local cache)
* Default page size is 8 KiB (jemalloc: 4 KiB)
* Default chunk size is 16 MiB (jemalloc: 2 MiB)
* Cannot allocate a buffer bigger than the chunk size (jemalloc: possible) because we don't have control over memory layout in Java. A user can work around this issue by creating a composite buffer, but it's not always a feasible option. Although 16 MiB is a pretty big default, a user's handler might need to deal with the bounded buffers when the user wants to deal with a large message.

Also, to ensure the new allocator performs good enough, I wrote a microbenchmark for it and made it a dedicated Maven module. It uses Google's Caliper framework to run and publish the test result (example)

Miscellaneous changes:

* Made some ByteBuf implementations public so that those who implements a new allocator can make use of them.
* Added ByteBufAllocator.compositeBuffer() and its variants.
* ByteBufAllocator.ioBuffer() creates a buffer with 0 capacity.
