Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler can sometimes fail to write the last chunk of a ChunkedInput due to an I/O error. Subsequently, the ChunkedInput's associated promise is marked as failure and the connection is closed. When the connection is closed, ChunkedWriteHandler attempts to clean up its message queue and to mark their promises as success or failure. However, because the promise of the ChunkedInput, which was consumed completely yet failed to be written, is already marked as failure, the attempt to mark it as success fails, leading a WARN level log.
Modification:
Use trySuccess() instead of setSuccess() so that the attempt to mark a ChunkedInput as success does not raise an exception even if the promise is already done.
Result:
Fixes#2249
- Use ': ' instead of '(...)' for simpler string concatenation and prettier presentation
- Optimize the overall performance of format*() methods
- All format*() methods are now expected to encode the channel information by themselves so that StringBuilder instances are created less often.
- Use a look-up table for generating per-row prefixes
- Hid formatByteBuf(), formatByteBufHolder(), and formatNonByteBuf() from user because a user can always override format(ctx, eventName, arg). For example, to disable hexdump:
protected void format(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, String eventName, Object arg) {
if (arg instanceof ByteBuf) {
super.format(ctx, eventName, arg.toString());
} else {
super.format(ctx, eventName, arg);
}
}
- Fixes#1808
- Move all methods in ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler up to ChannelHandler
- Remove ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler
- Deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter, ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter, and ChannelDuplexHandler
- Replace CombinedChannelDuplexHandler with ChannelHandlerAppender
because it's not possible to combine two handlers into one easily now
- Introduce 'Skip' annotation to pass events through efficiently
- Remove all references to the deprecated types and update Javadoc
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
- Fixes#1905
- Call ctx.flush() only when necessary
- Improve the estimation of application and packet buffer sizes
- decode() method now tries to call unwrap() with as many SSL records as
possible to reduce the number of events triggered
- Proposed fix for #1824
UniqueName and its subtypes do not allow getting the previously registered instance. For example, let's assume that a user is running his/her application in an OSGi container with Netty bundles and his server bundle. Whenever the server bundle is reloaded, the server will try to create a new AttributeKey instance with the same name. However, Netty bundles were not reloaded at all, so AttributeKey will complain that the name is taken already (by the previously loaded bundle.)
To fix this problem:
- Replaced UniqueName with Constant, AbstractConstant, and ConstantPool. Better name and better design.
- Sctp/Udt/RxtxChannelOption is not a ChannelOption anymore. They are just constant providers and ChannelOption is final now. It's because caching anything that's from outside of netty-transport will lead to ClassCastException on reload, because ChannelOption's constant pool will keep all option objects for reuse.
- Signal implements Constant because we can't ensure its uniqueness anymore by relying on the exception raised by UniqueName's constructor.
The old implementation was broken and could lead to pending message never be picked up again until the user either explicit called flush or
resumeTransfer().
Fix for first issue from #1652 on computation of time to wait in AbstractTrafficShapingHandler for Netty 4, using the same formula than in Netty 3 (wrong place for parenthese).
Was:
(bytes * 1000 / limit - interval / 10) * 10;
Becomes:
(bytes * 1000 / limit - interval) / 10 * 10;
- Fix a bug in DefaultProgressivePromise.tryProgress() where the notification is dropped
- Fix a bug in AbstractChannel.calculateMessageSize() where FileRegion is not counted
- HttpStaticFileServer example now uses zero copy file transfer if possible.
- write() now accepts a ChannelPromise and returns ChannelFuture as most
users expected. It makes the user's life much easier because it is
now much easier to get notified when a specific message has been
written.
- flush() does not create a ChannelPromise nor returns ChannelFuture.
It is now similar to what read() looks like.
- Remove channelReadSuspended because it's actually same with messageReceivedLast
- Rename messageReceived to channelRead
- Rename messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete
We renamed messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete because it
reflects what it really is for. Also, we renamed messageReceived to
channelRead for consistency in method names.
I must admit MesageList was pain in the ass. Instead of forcing a
handler always loop over the list of messages, this commit splits
messageReceived(ctx, list) into two event handlers:
- messageReceived(ctx, msg)
- mmessageReceivedLast(ctx)
When Netty reads one or more messages, messageReceived(ctx, msg) event
is triggered for each message. Once the current read operation is
finished, messageReceivedLast() is triggered to tell the handler that
the last messageReceived() was the last message in the current batch.
Similarly, for outbound, write(ctx, list) has been split into two:
- write(ctx, msg)
- flush(ctx, promise)
Instead of writing a list of message with a promise, a user is now
supposed to call write(msg) multiple times and then call flush() to
actually flush the buffered messages.
Please note that write() doesn't have a promise with it. You must call
flush() to get notified on completion. (or you can use writeAndFlush())
Other changes:
- Because MessageList is completely hidden, codec framework uses
List<Object> instead of MessageList as an output parameter.
