Motivation:
See #3746.
Modifications:
Fork SpscLinkedQueue and SpscLinkedAtomicQueue from JCTools based on 7846450e28
Result:
Add SpscLinkedQueue and SpscLinkedAtomicQueue and apply it in LocalChannel.
Motivation:
If the Future that the PromiseNotifier is listening to is cancelled, it does not propagate the cancel to all the promises it is expected to notify.
Modifications:
- If the future is cancelled then all the promises should be cancelled
- Add a UnaryPromiseNotifier if a collection of promises is not necessary
Result:
PromiseNotifier propagates cancel events to all promises
Motivation:
See #4855
Modifications:
Unfortunately, unescapeCsv cannot be used here because the input could be a CSV line like `"a,b",c`. Hence this patch adds unescapeCsvFields to parse a CSV line and split it into multiple fields and unescaped them. The unit tests should define the behavior of unescapeCsvFields.
Then this patch just uses unescapeCsvFields to implement `CombinedHttpHeaders.getAll`.
Result:
`CombinedHttpHeaders.getAll` will return the unescaped values of a header.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector enforces a limit as to how large the queue is allowed to grow for stack traces in order to keep memory from growing too large. However it is not always clear when records are dropped, or how many have been dropped. This can make interpreting leak reports more difficult if you assume all information is present when it may not be. Also we should increase the limit (currently 4) when running tests on the CI servers.
Modifications:
- Increase leak detector record limit on CI servers from 4 to 32.
- Track how many records have been discarded and disclose this in the leak report.
Result:
Leak reports clarify how many records were dropped, and how to increase the limit.
Motivation:
The implementation of obtaining the best possible mac address is very good. There are many sub-par implementations proposed on stackoverflow.
While not strictly a netty concern, it would be nice to offer this util also to netty users.
Modifications:
extract DefaultChannelId#defaultMachineId code obtaining the "best" mac into a new helper called MacAddress, keep the random bytes fallback in DefaultChannelID.
Result:
New helper available.
Motivation:
See #3411. A reusable ArrayList in InternalThreadLocalMap can avoid allocations in the following pattern:
```
List<...> list = new ArrayList<...>();
add something to list but never use InternalThreadLocalMap
return list.toArray(new ...[list.size()]);
```
Modifications:
Add a reusable ArrayList to InternalThreadLocalMap and update codes to use it.
Result:
Reuse a thread local ArrayList to avoid allocations.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent0 has an optimization which grabs the char[] from a String. Since this code was introduced http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254 has been gaining momentum in JDK 9. This JEP changes the internal storage from char[] to byte[], and thus the existing char[] only based optimizations will not work.
Modifications:
- The ASCII encoding char[] String optimizations should also work for byte[].
Result:
ASCII encoding char[] String optimizations don't break if the underlying storage in String is byte[].
Motivation:
In AsciiString.trim, last should be `arrayOffset() + length() - 1`. See #4741.
Modifications:
Fix the last value.
Result:
AsciiString.trim works correctly.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent allows some exceptions to escape during static initialization. If an exception escapes it will be translated into a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError and render the application unable to run.
Modifications:
- Make sure to catch Throwable during static initialization.
Result:
PlatformDependent static initialization doesn't result in java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError.
Motivation:
Sometimes a user want to do async mappings in the SniHandler as it is not possible to populate a Mapping up front.
Modifications:
Add AsyncMapping interface and make SniHandler work with it.
Result:
It is possible to do async mappings for SNI
Motivation:
HttpConversionUtil.toHttp2Headers currently has a throws Exception as part of the signature. This comes from the signature of ByteProcessor.process, but is not necessary because the ByteProcessor used does not throw.
Modifications:
- Remove throws Exception from the signature of HttpConversionUtil.toHttp2Headers.
Result:
HttpConversionUtil.toHttp2Headers interface does not propagate a throws Exception when it is used.
Motivation:
Caching is currently nested in DnsResolver.
It should also be possible to extend DnsResolver to ba able to pass a different cache on each resolution attemp.
Modifications:
* Introduce DnsCache, NoopDnsCache and DefaultDnsCache. The latter contains all the current caching logic that was extracted.
* Introduce protected versions of doResolve and doResolveAll that can be used as extension points to build resolvers that bypass the main cache and use a different one on each resolution.
Result:
Isolated caching logic. Better extensibility.
Motivation:
* newAtomicIntegerFieldUpdater and newAtomicLongFieldUpdater take a
class<?> so they're too lax
* newAtomicReferenceFieldUpdater takes a Class<U> so it's too strict
and can only be passe a rawtype parameter when dealing w/ generic
classes
Modifications:
Take a Class<? super T> parameter instead.
Result:
Better type safety and generics support.
Motivation:
Warnings in IDE, unclean code, negligible performance impact.
Modification:
Deletion of unused imports
Result:
No more warnings in IDE, cleaner code, negligible performance improvement.
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:
DomainNameMapping.add() makes DomainNameMapping look like it's safe to call add() anytime, and this is never true. It's probably better deprecate add() and introduce DomainNameMappingBuilder.
Modifications:
Made an immutable implementation of DomainNameMapping;
Added Builder for immutable DomainNameMapping;
Replaced regex pattern with String::startsWith check;
Replaced HashMap with two arrays in ImmutableDomainNameMapping;
Deprecated mutable API;
Estimation for StringBuilder initial size in ImmutableDomainNameMapping#toString()
Added StringUtil#commonSuffixOfLength
Replaced unnecessary substrings creation in DomainNameMapping#matches with regionMatches
Result:
Clients will be able to create immutable instances of DomainNameMapping with builder API.
Motivation:
UTF-16 can not represent the full range of Unicode characters, and thus has the concept of Surrogate Pair (http://unicode.org/glossary/#surrogate_pair) where 2 16-bit code units can be used to represent the missing characters. ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 is currently does not support this and is thus incomplete.
Modifications:
- Add support for surrogate pairs in ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8
Result:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 now supports surrogate pairs and is correctly converting to UTF-8.
Motivation:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor uses a homegrown algorithm which distributes bytes to nodes in the priority tree. PriorityStreamByteDistributor has no concept of goodput which may result in poor utilization of network resources. PriorityStreamByteDistributor also has performance issues related to the tree traversal approach and number of nodes that must be visited. There also exists some more proven algorithms from the resource scheduling domain which PriorityStreamByteDistributor does not employ.
Modifications:
- Introduce a new ByteDistributor which uses elements from weighted fair queue schedulers
Result:
StreamByteDistributor which is sensitive to priority and uses a more familiar distribution concept.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4462
Motivation:
On contrary to `DefaultNameResolver`, `DnsNameResolver` doesn't currently honor hosts file.
Modifications:
* Introduce `HostsFileParser` that parses `/etc/hosts` or `C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` depending on the platform
* Introduce `HostsFileEntriesResolver` that uses the former to resolve host names
* Make `DnsNameResolver` check his `HostsFileEntriesResolver` prior to trying to resolve names against the DNS server
* Introduce `DnsNameResolverBuilder` so we now have a builder for `DnsNameResolver`s
* Additionally introduce a `CompositeNameResolver` that takes several `NameResolver`s and tries to resolve names by delegating sequentially
* Change `DnsNameResolver.asAddressResolver` to return a composite and honor hosts file
Result:
Hosts file support when using `DnsNameResolver`.
Consistent behavior with JDK implementation.
Motivation:
The KObjectHashMapTest is in a directory called "io.netty.util.collection" rather than "io/netty/util/collection". This causes the generated tests to be created in the wrong directory as well.
Modifications:
Moved the file.
Result:
Fixes#4546
Motivation:
Related to issue #4564.
AsciiString.contentEqualsIgnoreCase fails when comparing two AsciiStrings of the same length
Modifications:
Compare the values of the first AsciiString to the second AsciiString
Result:
AsciiString.contentEqualsIgnoreCase works as expected
Motivation:
DefaultPromiseTest has dead code which was left over from a code restructure. Shared code between 2 tests was moved into a common method, but some code which was not cleaned up in each of these methods after the code was moved.
Modifications:
- Delete dead code in DefaultPromiseTest
Result:
Less dead code
Motivation:
AbstractFuture currently wraps CancellationException in a ExecutionException. However the interface of Future says that this exception should be directly thrown.
Modifications:
- Throw CancellationException from AbstractFuture.get
Result:
Interface contract for CancellationException is honored in AbstractFuture.
Motivation:
There is a notification ordering issue in DefaultPromise when the lateListener collection is in use. The ordering issue can be observed in situations where a late listener is added to a Future returned from a write operation. It is possible that this future will run after a read operation scheduled on the I/O thread, even if the late listener is added on the I/O thread. This can lead to unexpected ordering where a listener for a write operation which must complete in order for the read operation to happen is notified after the read operation is done.
Modifications:
- If the lateListener collection becomes empty, it should be treated as though it was null when checking if lateListeners can be notified immediatley (instead of executing a task on the executor)
Result:
Ordering is more natural and will not be perceived as being out of order relative to other tasks on the same executor.
Motivation:
HttpHeaders already has specific methods for such popular and simple headers like "Host", but if I need to convert POST raw body to string I need to parse complex ContentType header in my code.
Modifications:
Add getCharset and getCharsetAsString methods to parse charset from Content-Length header.
Result:
Easy to use utility method.
Motivation:
The AsciiString.hashCode() method can be optimized. This method is frequently used while to build the DefaultHeaders data structure.
Modification:
- Add a PlatformDependent hashCode algorithm which utilizes UNSAFE if available
Result:
AsciiString hashCode is faster.
Motivation:
If netty used as part of application, should be a way to prefix service thread name to easy distinguish such threads (for example, used in IntelliJ Platform)
Modifications:
Introduce system property io.netty.serviceThreadPrefix
Result:
ThreadDeathWatcher thread has a readable name "Netty threadDeathWatcher-2-1" if io.netty.serviceThreadPrefix set to "Netty"
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2) indicates that header names consist of ASCII characters. We currently use ByteString to represent HTTP/2 header names. The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-10.3) also eludes to header values inheriting the same validity characteristics as HTTP/1.x. Using AsciiString for the value type of HTTP/2 headers would allow for re-use of predefined HTTP/1.x values, and make comparisons more intuitive. The Headers<T> interface could also be expanded to allow for easier use of header types which do not have the same Key and Value type.
Motivation:
- Change Headers<T> to Headers<K, V>
- Change Http2Headers<ByteString> to Http2Headers<CharSequence, CharSequence>
- Remove ByteString. Having AsciiString extend ByteString complicates equality comparisons when the hash code algorithm is no longer shared.
Result:
Http2Header types are more representative of the HTTP/2 RFC, and relationship between HTTP/2 header name/values more directly relates to HTTP/1.x header names/values.
Motivation:
DefaultPromise.toString() returns 'DefaultPromise(incomplete)' when it's
actually complete with non-null result.
Modifications:
Handle the case where the promise is done and its result is non-null in
toString()
Result:
The String returned by DefaultPromise.toString() is not confusing
anymore.
Motivation:
Modulo operations are slow, we can use bitwise operation to detect if resource leak detection must be done while sampling.
Modifications:
- Ensure the interval is a power of two
- Use bitwise operation for sampling
- Add benchmark.
Result:
Faster sampling.
Motivation:
When the ImmediateEventExecutor is in use it is possible to get a StackOverFlowException if when a promise completes a new listener is added to that promise.
Modifications:
- Protect against the case where LateListeners.run() smashes the stack.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4395
Motivation:
sun.misc.Unsafe allows us to handle heap ByteBuf in a more efficient matter. We should use special ByteBuf implementation when sun.misc.Unsafe can be used to increase performance.
Modifications:
- Add PooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf and UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf that are used when sun.misc.Unsafe is ready to use.
- Add UnsafeHeapSwappedByteBuf
Result:
Better performance when using heap buffers and sun.misc.Unsafe is ready to use.
Motivation:
We had a bug in our implemention which double "reversed" bytes on systems which not support unaligned access.
Modifications:
- Correctly only reverse bytes if needed.
- Share code between unsafe implementations.
Result:
No more data-corruption on sytems without unaligned access.
Motivation:
We started the thread before store it in a field which could lead to an assert error when the thread is executed before we actually store it.
Modifications:
Store thread before start it.
Result:
No more assert error possible.
Motivation:
At the moment we only forward decoded messages that were added the out List once the full decode loop was completed. This has the affect that resources may not be released as fast as possible and as an application may incounter higher latency if the user triggeres a writeAndFlush(...) as a result of the decoded messages.
Modifications:
- forward decoded messages after each decode call
Result:
Forwarding decoded messages through the pipeline in a more eager fashion.
Motivation:
When dealing with case insensitive headers it can be useful to have a case insensitive contains method for CharSequence.
Modifications:
- Add containsCaseInsensative to AsciiString
Result:
More expressive utility method for case insensitive CharSequence.
