Motivation:
Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.
Modifications:
- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.
Result:
Performance improvements.
Motivation:
While trying to merge our ChannelOutboundBuffer changes we've made last
week, I realized that we have quite a bit of conflicting changes at 4.1
and master. It was primarily because we added
ChannelOutboundBuffer.beforeAdd() and moved some logic there, such as
direct buffer conversion.
However, this is not possible with the changes we've made for 4.0. We
made ChannelOutboundBuffer final for example.
Maintaining multiple branch is already getting painful and having
different core will make it even worse, so I think we should keep the
differences between 4.0 and other branches minimal.
Modifications:
- Move ChannelOutboundBuffer.safeRelease() to ReferenceCountUtil
- Add ByteBufUtil.threadLocalBuffer()
- Backported from ThreadLocalPooledDirectByteBuf
- Make most methods in AbstractUnsafe final
- Add AbstractChannel.filterOutboundMessage() so that a transport can
convert a message to another (e.g. heap -> off-heap), and also
reject unsupported messages
- Move all direct buffer conversions to filterOutboundMessage()
- Move all type checks to filterOutboundMessage()
- Move AbstractChannel.checkEOF() to OioByteStreamChannel, because it's
the only place it is used at all
- Remove ChannelOutboundBuffer.current(Object), because it's not used
anymore
- Add protected direct buffer conversion methods to AbstractNioChannel
and AbstractEpollChannel so that they can be used by their subtypes
- Update all transport implementations according to the changes above
Result:
- The missing extension point in 4.0 has been added.
- AbstractChannel.filterOutboundMessage()
- Thanks to the new extension point, we moved all transport-specific
logic from ChannelOutboundBuffer to each transport implementation
- We can copy most of the transport implementations in 4.0 to 4.1 and
master now, so that we have much less merge conflict when we modify
the core.
- 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
