Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
PromiseAggregator's API allows for the aggregate promise to complete before the user is done adding promises. In order to support this use case the API structure would need to change in a breaking manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate PromiseAggregator and subclasses
- Introduce PromiseCombiner which corrects these issues
Result:
PromiseCombiner corrects the deficiencies in PromiseAggregator.
Motivation:
Javadoc reports errors about invalid docs.
Modifications:
Fix some errors reported by javadoc.
Result:
A lot of javadoc errors are fixed by this patch.
Motivation:
There are some wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Modifications:
Fix the wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Result:
These links will work correctly in javadoc.
Motivation:
8fbc513 introduced stray warnings in callsites of
PromiseAggregator#add and PromiseNotifier#(...).
Modifications:
This commit adds the @SafeVarargs annotation to PromiseAggregator#add
and PromiseNotifier#(...). As Netty is built with JDK7, this is a
recognized annotation and should not affect runtime VM versions 1.5 and
1.6.
Result:
Building Netty with JDK7 will no longer produce warnings in the
callsites mentioned above.
Motivation:
ChannelPromiseAggregator and ChannelPromiseNotifiers only allow
consumers to work with Channels as the result type. Generic versions
of these classes allow consumers to aggregate or broadcast the results
of an asynchronous execution with other result types.
Modifications:
Add PromiseAggregator and PromiseNotifier. Add unit tests for both.
Remove code in ChannelPromiseAggregator and ChannelPromiseNotifier and
modify them to extend the new base classes.
Result:
Consumers can now aggregate or broadcast the results of an asynchronous
execution with results types other than Channel.
