Motivation:
We recently added the ResourceLeakDetectorFactory but missed to updated HashedWheelTimer to use it.
Modifications:
- Add new abstract method to ResourceLeakDetectorFactory that allows to provide also samplingInterval and maxActive args.
- Deprecate most constructors in ResourceLeakDetector and add doc explaining that people should use ResourceLeakDetectorFactory
Result:
Custom ResourceLeakDetectorFactory will also be used in HashedWheelTimer if configured.
Motivation:
Sometimes a shared HashedWheelTimer can not easily be stopped in a good place. If the worker thread is daemon this is not a big deal and we should allow to not log a leak.
Modifications:
Add another constructor which allows to disable resource leak detection if worker thread is used.
Result:
Not log resource leak when HashedWheelTimer is not stopped and the worker thread is a deamon thread.
Motivation:
Some Netty use cases may want to configure the max allowed stack depth for promise listener notification.
Modifications:
- Add a system property so that this value can be configured.
Result:
DefaultPromise's max stack depth is configurable.
Motivation:
PR #5355 modified interfaces to reduce GC related to the HPACK code. However this came with an anticipated performance regression related to HpackUtil.equals due to AsciiString's increase cost of charAt(..). We should mitigate this performance regression.
Modifications:
- Introduce an equals method in PlatformDependent which doesn't leak timing information and use this in HpcakUtil.equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5436
Motivation:
It is good to have used dependencies and plugins up-to-date to fix any undiscovered bug fixed by the authors.
Modification:
Scanned dependencies and plugins and carefully updated one by one.
Result:
Dependencies and plugins are up-to-date.
Motiviation:
Sometimes it is useful to allow to specify a custom strategy to handle rejected tasks. For example if someone tries to add tasks from outside the eventloop it may make sense to try to backoff and retries and so give the executor time to recover.
Modification:
Add RejectedEventExecutor interface and implementations and allow to inject it.
Result:
More flexible handling of executor overload.
Motivation:
To restrict the memory usage of a system it is sometimes needed to adjust the number of max pending tasks in the tasks queue.
Modifications:
- Add new constructors to modify the number of allowed pending tasks.
- Add system properties to configure the default values.
Result:
More flexible configuration.
Motivation:
We should merge ThrowableUtils into ThrowableUtil as this name is more consistent with the naming of utility classes in netty.
Modifications:
Merge classes.
Result:
More consistent naming
Motivation:
We use pre-instantiated exceptions in various places for performance reasons. These exceptions don't include a stacktrace which makes it hard to know where the exception was thrown. This is especially true as we use the same exception type (for example ChannelClosedException) in different places. Setting some StackTraceElements will provide more context as to where these exceptions original and make debugging easier.
Modifications:
Set a generated StackTraceElement on these pre-instantiated exceptions which at least contains the origin class and method name. The filename and linenumber are specified as unkown (as stated in the javadocs of StackTraceElement).
Result:
Easier to find the origin of a pre-instantiated exception.
Allow users of Netty to plug in their own leak detector for the purpose
of instrumentation.
Motivation:
We are rolling out a large Netty deployment and want to be able to
track the amount of leaks we're seeing in production via custom
instrumentation. In order to achieve this today, I had to plug in a
custom `ByteBufAllocator` into the bootstrap and have it initialize a
custom `ResourceLeakDetector`. Due to these classes mostly being marked
`final` or having private or static methods, a lot of the code had to
be copy-pasted and it's quite ugly.
Modifications:
* I've added a static loader method for the `ResourceLeakDetector` in
`AbstractByteBuf` that tries to instantiate the class passed in via the
`-Dio.netty.customResourceLeakDetector`, otherwise falling back to the
default one.
* I've modified `ResourceLeakDetector` to be non-final and to have the
reporting broken out in to methods that can be overridden.
Result:
You can instrument leaks in your application by just adding something
like the following:
```java
public class InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector<T> extends
ResourceLeakDetector<T> {
@Monitor("InstanceLeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger instancesLeakCounter;
@Monitor("LeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger leakCounter;
public InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector(Class<T> resource) {
super(resource);
this.instancesLeakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
this.leakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
}
@Override
protected void reportTracedLeak(String records) {
super.reportTracedLeak(records);
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportUntracedLeak() {
super.reportUntracedLeak();
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportInstancesLeak() {
super.reportInstancesLeak();
instancesLeakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
}
```
Motivation:
DefaultThreadFactory allows to override the newThread(...) method and so should have access to all fields that are set via the constructor.
Modifications:
Change threadGroup from private to protected visibility.
Result:
Easier to extend DefaultThreadFactory.
Motivation:
In case of exception in invokeExceptionCaught() only original exception passed to invokeExceptionCaught() will be logged on any log level.
+ AbstractChannelHandlerContext and CombinedChannelDuplexHandler log different exceptions.
Modifications:
Fix inconsistent logging code and add ability to see both stacktraces on DEBUG level.
Result:
Both handlers log now both original exception and thrown from invokeExceptionCaught. To see full stacktrace of exception thrown from invokeExceptionCaught DEBUG log level must be enabled.
Motivation:
JCTools supports both non-unsafe, unsafe versions of queues and JDK6 which allows us to shade the library in netty-common allowing it to stay "zero dependency".
Modifications:
- Remove copy paste JCTools code and shade the library (dependencies that are shaded should be removed from the <dependencies> section of the generated POM).
- Remove usage of OneTimeTask and remove it all together.
Result:
Less code to maintain and easier to update JCTools and less GC pressure as the queue implementation nt creates so much garbage
Motivation:
The javaDocs for Future.removeListener do not clarify that only the first occurrence of the listener is guaranteed to be removed.
Modifications:
- Clarify the javaDocs for Future.removeListener[s] so it is known that the only the first occurrence of the listener will be removed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5351
Motivation:
Sometimes it may be benefitially for an user to specify a custom algorithm when choose the next EventExecutor/EventLoop.
Modifications:
Allow to specify a custom EventExecutorChooseFactory that allows to customize algorithm.
Result:
More flexible api.
Motivation:
We tried to always use SecureRandom to generate the initialSeed for our ThreadLocalRandom, this can sometimes give warnings under normal usage. We should better not use SecureRandom as default (just as the implementation in jsr166y does) and only try if the user specified -Djava.util.secureRandomSeed=true .
Modifications:
Only try to use SecureRandom when -Djava.util.secureRandomSeed=true is used.
Result:
Less likely to see entropy warnings.
Motivation:
If the user uses unsafe direct buffers with no cleaner we can use Unsafe.reallocateMemory(...) as optimization when we need to expand the buffer.
Modifications:
Use Unsafe.relocateMemory(...) in UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf.
Result:
Less expensive expanding of buffers.
Motivation:
Using the Cleaner to release the native memory has a few drawbacks:
- Cleaner.clean() uses static synchronized internally which means it can be a performance bottleneck
- It put more load on the GC
Modifications:
Add new buffer implementations that can be enabled with a system flag as optimizations. In this case no Cleaner is used at all and the user must ensure everything is always released.
Result:
Less performance impact by direct buffers when need to be allocated and released.
Modifications:
DefaultPromise provides a ThreadLocal queue to protect against StackOverflowError because of executors which may immediately execute runnables instead of queue them (i.e. ImmediateEventExecutor). However this may be better addressed by fixing these executors to protect against StackOverflowError instead of just fixing for a single use case. Also the most commonly used executors already provide the desired behavior and don't need the additional overhead of a ThreadLocal queue in DefaultPromise.
Modifications:
- Remove ThreadLocal queue from DefaultPromise
- Change ImmediateEventExecutor so it maintains a queue of runnables if reentrant condition occurs
Result:
DefaultPromise StackOverflowError code is simpler, and ImmediateEventExecutor protects against StackOverflowError.
Motivation:
Under very unlikely (however possible) circumstances, Recycler may leak
references. This happens _only_ when the object was already recycled
at least once (which means it's got written to the stack) and then
taken out again, and never returned.
The "never returned" part may be the fault of the user (forgotten
`finally` clause) or the situation when Recycler drops the possibly
youngest item itself.
Modifications:
Nullify the item taken from the stack.
Result:
Reference is cleaned up. If the object is lost, it will be a subject for
GC. The rest of Stack / Recycler functionality remains unaffected.
Motivation:
Sometimes people may want to trade GC with memory overhead. For this it can be useful to allow to change the capacity of the array that is hold in the Link that is used by the Recycler internally.
Modifications:
Introduce a new system property , io.netty.recycler.linkCapacity which allows to change the capcity.
Result:
More flexible configuration of netty.
Motivation:
Currenlty, netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is not packed as OSGi bundle
and thus not working in OSGi environment.
Modifications:
In netty-transport-native-epoll's pom.xml added configuration
to attach manifest to the jar with a native library.
In netty-common's pom.xml added configuration instruction (DynamicImport-Package)
to maven bnd plugin to make sure the native code is loaded from
netty-transport-native-epoll bundle.
Result:
The netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is a bundle (MANIFEST.MF attached)
and the inluced native library can be successfuly loaded in OSGi environment.
Fixing #5119
Motivation:
Unsafe offers a method to set memory to a specific value. This can be used to implement an optimized version of setZero(...) and writeZero(...)
Modifications:
Add implementation for all Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.
Result:
Faster setZero(...) and writeZero(...)
Motivation:
SingleThreadEventExecutor.pendingTasks() will call taskQueue.size() to get the number of pending tasks in the queue. This is not safe when using MpscLinkedQueue as size() is only allowed to be called by a single consumer.
Modifications:
Ensure size() is only called from the EventLoop.
Result:
No more livelock possible when call pendingTasks, no matter from which thread it is done.
Motivation:
f2ed3e6ce8 removed the previous mechanism for StackOverflowError because it didn't work in all cases (i.e. ImmediateExecutor). However if a chain of listeners which complete other promises is formed there is still a possibility of a StackOverflowError.
Modifications:
- Use a ThreadLocal to save any DefaultPromises which could not be notified due to the stack being too large. After the first DefaultPromise on the stack completes notification this ThreadLocal should be used to notify any DefaultPromises which have not yet been notified.
Result:
DefaultPromise has StackOverflowError protection that works with all EventExecutor types.
Motivation:
If the executor changes while listeners are added and notification of listeners is being done then listeners can be notified out of order and concurrently. We should ensure that only one executor is used at any given time to notify listeners and ensure the listeners are notified in FIFO order.
Modifications:
- Move the notifyingListeners member variable from DefaultPromise into the synchronized block to prevent concurrent notification of listeners and preserve FIFO notification order
Result:
If the executor is changed for a DefaultPromise the listener notification order should be FIFO.
Motivation:
Recycler.recycle(...) should not be used anymore and be replaced by Handle.recycle().
Modifications:
Mark it as deprecated and update usage.
Result:
Correctly document deprecated api.
Motivation:
DomainMappingBuilder should have been named as DomainNameMappingBuilder
because it builds a DomainNameMapping.
Modifications:
- Add DomainNameMappingBuilder that does the same job with
DomainMappingBuilder
- Deprecate DomainMappingBuilder and delegate its logic to
DomainNameMappingBuilder
- Remove the references to the deprecated methods and classes related
with domain name mapping
- Miscellaneous:
- Fix Javadoc of DomainNameMapping.asMap()
- Pre-create the unmodifiable map in DomainNameMapping
Result:
- Consistent naming
- Less use of deprecated API
Motivation:
DomainNameMapping.entries() returns Set<Map.Entry<String, V>>, which
doesn't sound very natural.
Modifications:
Replace entries() with asMap() which returns a Map<String, V> instead.
Result:
- Better looking API
- User can do a lookup because it's a Map
Motivation:
As reported in #4211, when using Netty in Tomcat (or other container based deployment), ForkJoinPool leaks an instance of `Submitter` so that the class loader of `Submitter` won't be GCed. However, since `Submitter` is just a wrapper of `int`, we can replace it with `int[1]`.
Modifications:
Replace `Submitter` with `int[1]`.
Result:
No class loader leak in ForkJoinPool when using in a container.
Motivation:
See #4200.
Modifications:
Add DomainNameMapping.entries to allow retrieving the domain match lists.
Result:
People can use DomainNameMapping.entries to retrive the match list in DomainNameMapping.
Motivation:
EventExecutor.children uses generics in such a way that an entire colleciton must be cast to a specific type of object. This interface is not very flexible and is impossible to implement if the EventExecutor type must be wrapped. The current usage of this method also does not have any clear need within Netty. The Iterator interface allows for EventExecutor to be wrapped and forces the caller to make assumptions about types instead of building the assumptions into the interface.
Motivation:
- Remove EventExecutor.children and undeprecate the iterator() interface
Result:
EventExecutor interface has one less method and is easier to wrap.
Motivation:
KObjectHashMap.remove(int index) attempts to move back items which may have been displaced because their spot in the hash based array was taken by another item. If this happens the nextIndex reference in PrimitiveIterator will not be updated. At this time the PrimitiveEntry will reference the incorrect index and may result in a NPE.
Modifications:
- If KObjectHashMap.remove(int index) moves entries back then PrimitiveIterator should adjust its nextIndex
Result:
PrimitiveIterator.remove() updates its internal state to reference the new nextIndex and will not NPE.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198
Motivation:
KObjectHashMap.probeNext(..) usually involves 2 conditional statements and 2 aritmatic operations. This can be improved to have 0 conditional statements.
Modifications:
- Use bit masking to avoid conditional statements
Result:
Improved performance for KObjecthashMap.probeNext(..)
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Conneciton.close method accounts for active streams being iterated and attempts to avoid reentrant modifications of the underlying stream map by using iterators to remove from the stream map. However there are a few issues:
- While iterating over the stream map we don't prevent iterations over the active stream collection
- Removing a single stream may actually remove > 1 streams due to closed non-leaf streams being preserved in the priority tree which may result in NPE
Preserving closed non-leaf streams in the priority tree is no longer necessary with our current allocation algorithms, and so this feature (and related complexity) can be removed.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2Connection.close should prevent others from iterating over the active streams and reentrant modification scenarios which may result from this
- DefaultHttp2Connection should not keep closed stream in the priority tree
- Remove all associated code in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController which accounts for this case including the ReducedState object
- This includes fixing writability changes which depended on ReducedState
- Update unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198
Motivation:
The LateListener logic is prone to infinite loops and relies on being processed in the EventExecutor's thread for synchronization, but this EventExecutor may not be constant. An infinite loop can occur if the EventExecutor's execute method does not introduce a context switch in LateListener.run. The EventExecutor can be changed by classes which inherit from DefaultPromise. For example the DefaultChannelPromise will return w/e EventLoop the channel is registered to, but this EventLoop can change (re-registration).
Modifications:
- Remove the LateListener concept and instead use a single Object to maintain the listeners while still preserving notification order
- Make the result member variable an atomic variable so it can be outside the synchronized(this) blocks
- Cleanup/simplify existing state management code
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5185
Motivation:
Currently the default log level when running tests is debug. When
running the build on the CI server it might be nice to avoid this debug
level and allow for the level to be configured.
Modifications:
Added a logback-test.xml configuration that has been added to the
common module. This allows for the logLevel to be configured.
The default level will still be debug.
Result:
The log level can now be configured from the command line:
$ mvn test -DlogLevel=error
Motivation:
Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.
Modifications:
- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.
Result:
Better document unstable APIs.
Motivation:
It's better to make all InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons according to the discussions in #5047
Modifications:
Make all InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons and hide the construtors.
Result:
All InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons.
Motivation:
Fixes#5084. We (gRPC) encountered a bug that was triggered by
grpc/grpc-java@d927180. After that commit, event loop threads are
created per task by NioEventLoopGroup, and inherits the thread group of
the caller, which in our case is an application-provided request-scope
thread. Things go south when the application tries to manipulate (e.g.,
interrupt and join) all threads of the request-scope thread group, which
unexpectedly include the event loop threads.
Modifications:
DefaultThreadFactory will save the current thread group in constructor,
and apply it to all new threads.
Result:
Threads created by DefaultThreadFactory will be in the same thread group
as the thread where the factory is created.
Related: #3449
Motivation:
When a user shut down an EventExecutor/Loop prematurely, a Promise will
fail to execute its listeners. When it happens, DefaultPromise will log
a message at ERROR level, but there's no way to get notified about it
programmatically.
Modifications:
Do not catch and log the RejectedExecutionException unconditionally,
but only catch and log for non-late listener notifications, so that a
user gets notified on submission failure at least when the listener is
late.
Result:
Remedies #3449 to some extent, although we will need fundamental fix for
that, such as #3566
Motivation:
See #3095
Modifications:
Add Log4J2LoggerFactory and Log4J2Logger which is an InternalLogger implementation based on log4j2.
Result:
The user can use log4j2 directly without a special slf4j binding.
Motivation:
Under high throughput/low latency workloads, selector wakeups are
degrading performance when the incoming operations are triggered
from outside of the event loop. This is a common scenario for
"client" applications where the originating input is coming from
application threads rather from the socket attached inside the
event loops.
As a result, it can be desirable to defer the blocking select
so that incoming tasks (write/flush) do not need to wakeup
the selector.
Modifications:
This changeset adds the notion of a generic SelectStrategy which,
based on its contract, allows the implementation to optionally
defer the blocking select based on some custom criteria.
The default implementation resembles the original behaviour, that
is if tasks are in the queue `selectNow()` and move on, and if no
tasks need to be processed go into the blocking select and wait
for wakeup.
The strategy can be customized per `NioEventLoopGroup` in the
constructor.
Result:
High performance client applications are now given the chance to
customize for how long the actual selector blocking should be
deferred by employing a custom select strategy.
Motivation:
The current slow path of FastThreadLocal is much slower than JDK ThreadLocal. See #4418
Modifications:
- Add FastThreadLocalSlowPathBenchmark for the flow path of FastThreadLocal
- Add final to speed up the slow path of FastThreadLocal
Result:
The slow path of FastThreadLocal is improved.
Motivation:
It should be possible to disable the Recycler with -Dio.netty.recycler.maxCapacity=0, but because of a typo this is not the case.
Modifications:
Replace <= with < to make it posible to disable the Recycler.
Result:
Correct behaviour when using -Dio.netty.recycler.maxCapacity=0
Motivation:
Fix a typo in the log message of the static initializer of Recycler.
Modifications:
Fix typo.
Result:
Correctly log system property io.netty.recycler.maxCapacity.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains shared dynamic libraries for all platforms (including fedora).
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to try and load the fedora library if the OS is Linux and the platform specified library fails before using the default lib.
Result:
True uber support.
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:
A custom SecurityManager may prevent calling File.exists() and so throw a SecurityException in the static init block of NetUtil.
Modifications:
Correctly catch the exception and so allow to static init NetUtil.
Result:
Allow static init method of NetUtil to work even with custom SecurityManager.
Motivation:
See #3321
Modifications:
1. Add CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() methods
2. Deprecate CharsetUtil.getEncoder/getDecoder() methods
Result:
Users can use new CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() to specify error actions
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.
