Motivation:
Allow to make use of our new FastThreadLocal whereever possible
Modification:
Make use of an array to store FastThreadLocals and so allow to also use it in PooledByteBufAllocator that is instanced by users.
The maximal size of the array is configurable per system property to allow to tune it if needed. As default we use 64 entries which should be good enough.
Result:
More flexible usage of FastThreadLocal
Motivation:
At the moment MessageToMessageEncoder uses ctx.write(msg) when have more then one message was produced. This may produce more GC pressure then necessary as when the original ChannelPromise is a VoidChannelPromise we can safely also use one when write messages.
Modifications:
Use VoidChannelPromise when the original ChannelPromise was of this type
Result:
Less object creation and GC pressure
Motivation:
At the moment we call ByteBuf.readBytes(...) in these handlers but with optimizations done as part of 25e0d9d we can just use readSlice(...).retain() and eliminate the memory copy.
Modifications:
Replace ByteBuf.readBytes(...) usage with readSlice(...).retain().
Result:
Less memory copies.
Motivation:
The problem with the current snappy implementation is that it does
not comply with framing format definition found on
https://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/framing_format.txt
The document describes that chunk type of the stream identifier is defined
as 0xff. The current implentation uses 0x80.
Modifications:
This patch replaces the first byte of the chunk type of the stream identifier
with 0xff.
Result:
After this modification the snappy implementation is compliant to the
framing format described at
https://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/framing_format.txt.
This results in a better compatibility with other implementations.
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
At the moment a user can not safetly call slice().retain() or duplicate.retain()in the ByteToMessageDecoder.decode(...) implementation without the risk to see coruption because we may call discardSomeReadBytes() to make room on the buffer once the handling is done.
Modifications:
Check for the refCnt() before call discardSomeReadBytes() and also check before call decode(...) to create a copy if needed.
Result:
The user can safetly call slice().retain() or duplicate.retain() in his/her ByteToMessageDecoder.decode(...) method.
Motivation:
Reduce memory usage in ProtobufVarint32LengthFieldPrepender.
Modifications:
Explicit set the buffer size that is needed for the header (between 1 and 5 bytes).
Result:
Less memory usage in ProtobufVarint32LengthFieldPrepender.
Motivation:
Remove the synchronization bottleneck and so speed up things
Modifications:
Introduce a ThreadLocal cache that holds mappings between classes of ChannelHandlerAdapater implementations and the result of checking if the @Sharable annotation is present.
This way we only will need to do the real check one time and server the other calls via the cache. A ThreadLocal and WeakHashMap combo is used to implement the cache
as this way we can minimize the conditions while still be sure we not leak class instances in containers.
Result:
Less conditions during adding ChannelHandlerAdapter to the ChannelPipeline
- Fixes#2014
- Add the tests that mix JDK ZLIB codec and JZlib codecs
- Fix a bug where JdkZlibEncoder does not encode the GZIP header when nothing was written to te channel
- Fix a bug where the encoders do not consider the overhead of the wrapper format when calculating the estimated compressed output size.
- Fix a bug where the decoders do not discard the received data after the compressed stream is finished
- 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
