Motivation:
Make it much more readable code.
Modifications:
- Added states of decompression.
- Refactored decode(...) method to use this states.
Result:
Much more readable decoder which looks like other compression decoders.
Motivation:
A discovered typo in LzmaFrameEncoder constructor when we check `lc + lp` for better compatibility.
Modifications:
Changed `lc + pb` to `lc + lp`.
Result:
Correct check of `lc + lp` value.
Motivation:
LZMA compression algorithm has a very good compression ratio.
Modifications:
- Added `lzma-java` library which implements LZMA algorithm.
- Implemented LzmaFrameEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the LzmaFrameEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
Result:
LZMA encoder which can compress data using LZMA algorithm.
Motivation:
ExtensionRegistry is a subclass of ExtensionRegistryLite. The ProtobufDecoder
doesn't use the registry directly, it simply passes it through to the Protobuf
API. The Protobuf calls in question are themselves written in terms
ExtensionRegistryLite not ExtensionRegistry.
Modifications:
Require ExtensionRegistryLite instead of ExtensionRegistry in ProtobufDecoder.
Result:
Consumers can use ExtensionRegistryLite with ProtobufDecoder.
Related issue: #2821
Motivation:
There's no way for a user to change the default ZlibEncoder
implementation.
It is already possible to change the default ZlibDecoder implementation.
Modification:
Add a new system property 'io.netty.noJdkZlibEncoder'.
Result:
A user can disable JDK ZlibEncoder, just like he or she can disable JDK
ZlibDecoder.
Motivation:
We have some duplicated code that can be reused.
Modifications:
Create package private class called CodecUtil that now contains the shared code / helper method.
Result:
Less code-duplication
Motivation:
ByteToMessageCodec miss to check for @Sharable annotation in one of its constructors.
Modifications:
Ensure we call checkForSharableAnnotation in all constructors.
Result:
After your change, what will change.
Related issue: #2766
Motivation:
Forgot to rename them before the final release by mistake.
Modifications:
Rename and then re-introduce the deprecated version that extends the
renamed class.
Result:
Better naming
Motivation:
LZ4 compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by very fast LZ4 algorithm.
Modifications:
- Added `lz4` library which implements LZ4 algorithm.
- Implemented Lz4FramedEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
- Implemented Lz4FramedDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedDecoder and how it can uncompress data after compression using the original library.
- Added integration tests for Lz4FramedEncoder/Decoder.
Result:
Full LZ4 compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using LZ4 algorithm.
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder and ReplayingDecoder have incorrect javadocs in some places.
Modifications:
Fix incorrect javadocs for both classes.
Result:
Correct javadocs for both classes
Motivation:
FastLZ compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by fast FastLZ algorithm using block mode.
Modifications:
- Added part of `jfastlz` library which implements FastLZ algorithm. See FastLz class.
- Implemented FastLzFramedEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Implemented FastLzFramedDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages.
- Added integration tests for `FastLzFramedEncoder/Decoder`.
Result:
Full FastLZ compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using FastLZ algorithm.
Motivation:
It is often very expensive to instantiate an exception. TextHeader
should not raise an exception when it failed to find a header or when
its header value is not valid.
Modification:
- Change the return type of the getter methods to Integer and Long so
that null is returned when no header is found or its value is invalid
- Update Javadoc
Result:
- Fixes#2758
- No unnecessary instantiation of exceptions
Motivation:
DefaultTextHeaders.getAll*() methods create an ArrayList whose initial
capacity is 4. However, it is more likely that the actual number of
values is smaller than that.
Modifications:
Reduce the initial capacity of the value list from 4 to 2
Result:
Slightly reduced memory footprint
Related issue: #2649 and #2745
Motivation:
At the moment there is no way to get and remove a header with one call.
This means you need to search the headers two times. We should add
getAndRemove(...) to allow doing so with one call.
Modifications:
Add getAndRemove(...) and getUnconvertedAndRemove(...) and their
variants
Result:
More efficient API
Motivation:
Before this changes Bzip2BitReader and Bzip2BitWriter accessed to ByteBuf byte by byte. So tests for Bzip2 compression codec takes a lot of time if we ran them with paranoid level of resource leak detection. For more information see comments to #2681 and #2689.
Modifications:
- Increased size of bit buffers from 8 to 64 bits.
- Improved reading and writing operations.
- Save link to incoming ByteBuf inside Bzip2BitReader.
- Added methods to check possible readable bits and bytes in Bzip2BitReader.
- Updated Bzip2 classes to use new API of Bzip2BitReader.
- Added new constants to Bzip2Constants.
Result:
Increased size of bit buffers and improved performance of Bzip2 compression codec (for general work by 13% and for tests with paranoid level of resource leak detection by 55%).
Motivation:
In ReplayingDecoder / ByteToMessageDecoder channelInactive(...) method we try to decode a last time and fire all decoded messages throw the pipeline before call ctx.fireChannelInactive(...). To keep the correct order of events we also need to call ctx.fireChannelReadComplete() if we read anything.
Modifications:
- Channel channelInactive(...) to call ctx.fireChannelReadComplete() if something was decoded
- Move out.recycle() to finally block
Result:
Correct order of events.
Motivation:
Complicated code of Bzip2 tests with some unnecessary actions.
Modifications:
- Reduce size of BYTES_LARGE array of random test data for Bzip2 tests.
- Removed unnecessary creations of EmbeddedChannel instances in Bzip2 tests.
- Simplified tests in Bzip2DecoderTest which expect exception.
- Removed unnecessary testStreamInitialization() from Bzip2EncoderTest.
Result:
Reduced time to test the 'codec' package by 7 percent, simplified code of Bzip2 tests.
Motivation:
Duplicated code of integration tests for different compression codecs.
Modifications:
- Added abstract class IntegrationTest which contains common tests for any compression codec.
- Removed common tests from Bzip2IntegrationTest and LzfIntegrationTest.
- Implemented abstract methods of IntegrationTest in Bzip2IntegrationTest, LzfIntegrationTest and SnappyIntegrationTest.
Result:
Removed duplicated code of integration tests for compression codecs and simplified an addition of integration tests for new compression codecs.
Motivation:
Sometimes we have a 'build time out' error because tests for bzip2 codec take a long time.
Modifications:
Removed cycles from Bzip2EncoderTest.testCompression(byte[]) and Bzip2DecoderTest.testDecompression(byte[]).
Result:
Reduced time to test the 'codec' package by 30 percent.
Motivation:
Fixed founded mistakes in compression codecs.
Modifications:
- Changed return type of ZlibUtil.inflaterException() from CompressionException to DecompressionException
- Updated @throws in javadoc of JZlibDecoder to throw DecompressionException instead of CompressionException
- Fixed JdkZlibDecoder to throw DecompressionException instead of CompressionException
- Removed unnecessary empty lines in JdkZlibEncoder and JZlibEncoder
- Removed public modifier from Snappy class
- Added MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_DATA_SIZE constant in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Used in.readableBytes() instead of (in.writerIndex() - in.readerIndex()) in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Added private modifier for enum ChunkType in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Fixed potential bug (sum overflow) in Bzip2HuffmanAllocator.first(). For more info, see http://googleresearch.blogspot.ru/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-nearly.html
Result:
Fixed sum overflow in Bzip2HuffmanAllocator, improved exceptions in ZlibDecoder implementations, hid Snappy class
Motivation:
We create a new CompactObjectInputStream with ByteBufInputStream in ObjectDecoder.decode(...) method and don't close this InputStreams before return statement.
Modifications:
Save link to the ObjectInputStream and close it before return statement.
Result:
Close InputStreams and clean up unused resources. It will be better for GC.
Motivation:
LZF compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by very fast LZF algorithm.
Modifications:
- Added Compress-LZF library which implements LZF algorithm
- Implemented LzfEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages
- Added tests to verify the LzfEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library
- Implemented LzfDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages
- Added tests to verify the LzfDecoder and how it can uncompress data after compression using the original library
- Added integration tests for LzfEncoder/Decoder
Result:
Full LZF compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using LZF algorithm.
Motivation:
It's not always the case that there is another handler in the pipeline that will intercept the exceptionCaught event because sometimes users just sub-class. In this case the exception will just hit the end of the pipeline.
Modification:
Throw the TooLongFrameException so that sub-classes can handle it in the exceptionCaught(...) method directly.
Result:
Sub-classes can correctly handle the exception,
Motivation:
Collect all bit-level read operations in one class is better. And now it's easy to use not only in Bzip2Decoder. For example, in Bzip2HuffmanStageDecoder.
Modifications:
Created a new class - Bzip2BitReader which provides bit-level reads.
Removed bit-level read operations from Bzip2Decoder.
Improved javadoc.
Result:
Bzip2BitReader allows the reading of single bit booleans, bit strings of arbitrary length (up to 24 bits), and bit aligned 32-bit integers.
Motivation:
There's no way to recover from a corrupted JSON stream. The current
implementation will raise an infinite exception storm when a peer sends
a large corrupted stream.
Modification:
Discard everything once stream corruption is detected.
Result:
Fixes a buffer leak
Fixes exception storm
Motivation:
See GitHub Issue #2536.
Modifications:
Introduce the class JsonObjectDecoder to split a JSON byte stream
into individual JSON objets/arrays.
Result:
A Netty application can now handle a byte stream where multiple JSON
documents follow eachother as opposed to only a single JSON document
per request.
Motivation:
bytesBefore(length, ...), bytesBefore(index, length, ...), and
indexOf(fromIndex, toIndex,...) in ReplayingDecoderBuffer are buggy.
They trigger 'REPLAY even when they don't need to.
Modification:
Implement the buggy methods properly so that REPLAYs are not triggered
unnecessarily.
Result:
Correct behvaior
Motivation:
At the moment we use a lot of unnecessary memory copies in JdkZlibEncoder. This is caused by either allocate a to small ByteBuf and expand it later or using a temporary byte array.
Beside this the memory footprint of JdkZlibEncoder is pretty high because of the byte[] used for compressing.
Modification:
- Override allocateBuffer(...) and calculate the estimatedsize in there, this reduce expanding of the ByteBuf later
- Not use byte[] in the instance itself but allocate a heap ByteBuf and write directly into the byte array
Result:
Less memory copies and smaller memory footprint
If decompression fails, the buffer that contains the decompressed data
is not released. Bzip2DecoderTest.testStreamCrcError() also does not
release the partial output Bzip2Decoder produces.
Motivation:
MessageToByteEncoder always starts with ByteBuf that use initalCapacity == 0 when preferDirect is used. This is really wasteful in terms of performance as every first write into the buffer will cause an expand of the buffer itself.
Modifications:
- Change ByteBufAllocator.ioBuffer() use the same default initialCapacity as heapBuffer() and directBuffer()
- Add new allocateBuffer method to MessageToByteEncoder that allow the user to do some smarter allocation based on the message that will be encoded.
Result:
Less expanding of buffer and more flexibilty when allocate the buffer for encoding.
Motivation:
The proxy protocol provides client connection information for proxied
network services. Several implementations exist (e.g. Haproxy, Stunnel,
Stud, Postfix), but the primary motivation for this implementation is to
support the proxy protocol feature of Amazon Web Services Elastic Load
Balancing.
Modifications:
This commit adds a proxy protocol decoder for proxy protocol version 1
as specified at:
http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
The foundation for version 2 support is also in this commit but it is
explicitly NOT supported due to a lack of external implementations to
test against.
Result:
The proxy protocol decoder can be used to send client connection
information to inbound handlers in a channel pipeline from services
which support the proxy protocol.
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.
