Motivation:
Currently the initial headers for every stream is queued in the flow controller. Since the initial header frame may create streams the peer must receive these frames in the order in which they were created, or else this will be a protocol error and the connection will be closed. Tolerating the initial headers being queued would increase the complexity of the WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor and there is benefit of doing so is not clear.
Modifications:
- The initial headers will no longer be queued in the flow controllers
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4758
Motivation:
Being able to access the invoker() is useful when adding additional
handlers that should be running in the same thread. Since an application
may be using a threading model unsupported by the default invoker, they
can specify their own. Because of that, in a handler that auto-adds
other handlers:
// This is a good pattern
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.invoker(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);
// This will generally work, but prevents using custom invoker.
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.executor(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);
That's why I believe in commit 110745b0, for the now-defunct 5.0 branch,
when ChannelHandlerAppender was added the invoker() method was also
necessary.
There is a side-benefit to exposing the invoker: in certain advanced
use-cases using the invoker for a particular handler is useful. Using
the invoker you are able to invoke a _particular_ handler, from possibly
a different thread yet still using standard exception processing.
ChannelHandlerContext does part of that, but is unwieldy when trying to
invoke a particular handler because it invokes the prev or next handler,
not the one the context is for. A workaround is to use the next or prev
context (respectively), but this breaks when the pipeline changes.
This came up during writing the Http2MultiplexCodec which uses a
separate child channel for each http/2 stream and wants to send messages
from the child channel directly to the Http2MultiplexCodec handler that
created it.
Modifications:
Add the invoker() method to ChannelHandlerContext. It was already being
implemented by AbstractChannelHandlerContext. The two other
implementations of ChannelHandlerContext needed minor tweaks.
Result:
Access to the invoker used for a particular handler, for either reusing
for other handlers or for advanced use-cases. Fixes#4738
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:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor has been removed but NoPriorityByteDistributionBenchmark in microbench still need it and causes compile error
Modifications:
Remove PriorityStreamByteDistributor from NoPriorityByteDistributionBenchmark
Result:
The compile error has been fixed
Motivation:
The `NoPriorityByteDistibbutionBenchmark` was broken with a recent commit.
Modifications:
Fixed the benchmark to use the new HTTP2 handler builder.
Result:
It builds.
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
Related: #4572
Motivation:
- A user might want to extend Http2ConnectionHandler and define his/her
own static inner Builder class that extends
Http2ConnectionHandler.BuilderBase. This introduces potential
confusion because there's already Http2ConnectionHandler.Builder. Your
IDE will warn about this name duplication as well.
- BuilderBase exposes all setters with public modifier. A user's Builder
might not want to expose them to enforce it to certain configuration.
There's no way to hide them because it's public already and they are
final.
- BuilderBase.build(Http2ConnectionDecoder, Http2ConnectionEncoder)
ignores most properties exposed by BuilderBase, such as
validateHeaders, frameLogger and encoderEnforceMaxConcurrentStreams.
If any build() method ignores the properties exposed by the builder,
there's something wrong.
- A user's Builder that extends BuilderBase might want to require more
parameters in build(). There's no way to do that cleanly because
build() is public and final already.
Modifications:
- Make BuilderBase and Builder top-level so that there's no duplicate
name issue anymore.
- Add AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
- Add Http2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
- Add HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
- Make all builder methods in AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
protected so that a subclass can choose which methods to expose
- Provide only a single build() method
- Add connection() and codec() so that a user can still specify
Http2Connection or Http2Connection(En|De)coder explicitly
- Implement proper state validation mechanism so that it is prevented
to invoke conflicting setters
Result:
Less confusing yet flexible builder API
Motivation:
ChannelMetadata has a field minMaxMessagesPerRead which can be confusing. There are also some cases where static instances are used and the default value for channel type is not being applied.
Modifications:
- use a default value which is set unconditionally to simplify
- make sure static instances of MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator are not used if the intention is that the default maxMessagesPerRead should be derived from the channel type.
Result:
Less confusing interfaces in ChannelMetadata and ChannelConfig. Default maxMessagesPerRead is correctly applied.
Motivation:
2a2059d976 was backported from master, and included an overriden method which does not exist in 4.1.
Modifications:
- Remove the invoker method from NoPriorityByteDistributionBenchmark
Result:
No more build error
Motivation:
The current priority algorithm can yield poor per-stream goodput when either the number of streams is high or the connection window is small. When all priorities are the same (i.e. priority is disabled), we should be able to do better.
Modifications:
Added a new UniformStreamByteDistributor that ignores priority entirely and manages a queue of streams. Each stream is allocated a minimum of 1KiB on each iteration.
Result:
Improved goodput when priority is not used.
Motivation:
The twitter hpack project does not have the support that it used to have. See discussion here: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4403.
Modifications:
Created a new module in Netty and copied the latest from twitter hpack master.
Result:
Netty no longer depends on twitter hpack.
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:
Headers and groups of headers are frequently copied and the current mechanism is slower than it needs to be.
Modifications:
Skip name validation and hash computation when they are not necessary.
Fix emergent bug in CombinedHttpHeaders identified with better testing
Fix memory leak in DefaultHttp2Headers when clearing
Added benchmarks
Result:
Faster header copying and some collateral bug fixes
Motivation:
For many HTTP/2 applications (such as gRPC) it is necessary to autorefill the connection window in order to prevent application-level deadlocking.
Consider an application with 2 streams, A and B. A receives a stream of messages and the application pops off one message at a time and makes a request on stream B. However, if receiving of data on A has caused the connection window to collapse, B will not be able to receive any data and the application will deadlock. The only way (currently) to get around this is 1) use multiple connections, or 2) manually refill the connection window. Both are undesirable and could needlessly complicate the application code.
Modifications:
Add a configuration option to DefaultHttp2LocalFlowController, allowing it to autorefill the connection window.
Result:
Applications can configure HTTP/2 to avoid inter-stream deadlocking.
Motivation:
We should allow our custom Executor to shutdown quickly.
Modifications:
Call super constructor which correct arguments.
Result:
Custom Executor can be shutdown quickly.
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:
As reported in #4402, the FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that the JDK ThreadLocal
is actually faster than Netty's custom thread local implementation.
I was looking forward to doing some deep digging, but got disappointed :(.
Modifications:
The microbenchmark was not using FastThreadLocalThreads and would thus always hit the slow path.
I updated the JMH command line flags, so that FastThreadLocalThreads would be used.
Result:
FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows FastThreadLocal to be faster than JDK's ThreadLocal implementation,
by about 56% in this particular benchmark. Run on OSX El Capitan with OpenJDK 1.8u60.

FastThreadLocalBenchmark.jdkThreadLocalGet thrpt 20 35481.888 ± 1471.647 ops/s
Motivation:
To prove one implementation is faster as the other we should have a benchmark.
Modifications:
Add benchmark which benchmarks the unsafe and non-unsafe implementation of HeapByteBuf.
Result:
Able to compare speed of implementations easily.
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:
SlicedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is sliced.
Modifications:
- Add SlicedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.
Result:
Faster SlicedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.
Motivation:
Calling AbstractByteBuf.toString(..., Charset) is used quite frequently by users but produce a lot of GC.
Modification:
- Use a FastThreadLocal to store the CharBuffer that are needed for decoding.
- Use internalNioBuffer(...) when possible
Result:
Less object creation / Less GC
Motiviation:
Checking reference count on every access on a ByteBuf can have some big performance overhead depending on how the access pattern is. If the user is sure that there are no reference count errors on his side it should be possible to disable the check and so gain the max performance.
Modification:
- Add io.netty.buffer.bytebuf.checkAccessible system property which allows to disable the checks. Enabled by default.
- Add microbenchmark
Result:
Increased performance for operations on the ByteBuf.
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.
Motivation:
Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons:
1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this.
2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction.
Modifications:
- Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects
- Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler
Result:
It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.
Motivation:
It is often the case that implementations of Http2FrameListener will want to send responses when data is read. The Http2FrameListener needs access to the Http2ConnectionHandler (or the encoder contained within) to be able to send responses. However the Http2ConnectionHandler requires a Http2FrameListener instance to be passed in during construction time. This creates a cyclic dependency which can make it difficult to cleanly accomplish this relationship.
Modifications:
- Add Http2ConnectionDecoder.frameListener(..) method to set the frame listener. This will allow the listener to be set after construction.
Result:
Classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler can more cleanly set the Http2FrameListener.
Motivation:
For implementations that want to manage flow control down to the stream level it is useful to be notified when stream writability changes.
Modifications:
- Add writabilityChanged to Http2RemoteFlowController.Listener
- Add isWritable to Http2RemoteFlowController
Result:
The Http2RemoteFlowController provides notification when writability of a stream changes.
Motivation:
A degradation in performance has been observed from the 4.0 branch as documented in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3962.
Modifications:
- Simplify Headers class hierarchy.
- Restore the DefaultHeaders to be based upon DefaultHttpHeaders from 4.0.
- Make various other modifications that are causing hot spots.
Result:
Performance is now on par with 4.0.
Motivation:
We noticed that the headers implementation in Netty for HTTP/2 uses quite a lot of memory
and that also at least the performance of randomly accessing a header is quite poor. The main
concern however was memory usage, as profiling has shown that a DefaultHttp2Headers
not only use a lot of memory it also wastes a lot due to the underlying hashmaps having
to be resized potentially several times as new headers are being inserted.
This is tracked as issue #3600.
Modifications:
We redesigned the DefaultHeaders to simply take a Map object in its constructor and
reimplemented the class using only the Map primitives. That way the implementation
is very concise and hopefully easy to understand and it allows each concrete headers
implementation to provide its own map or to even use a different headers implementation
for processing requests and writing responses i.e. incoming headers need to provide
fast random access while outgoing headers need fast insertion and fast iteration. The
new implementation can support this with hardly any code changes. It also comes
with the advantage that if the Netty project decides to add a third party collections library
as a dependency, one can simply plug in one of those very fast and memory efficient map
implementations and get faster and smaller headers for free.
For now, we are using the JDK's TreeMap for HTTP and HTTP/2 default headers.
Result:
- Significantly fewer lines of code in the implementation. While the total commit is still
roughly 400 lines less, the actual implementation is a lot less. I just added some more
tests and microbenchmarks.
- Overall performance is up. The current implementation should be significantly faster
for insertion and retrieval. However, it is slower when it comes to iteration. There is simply
no way a TreeMap can have the same iteration performance as a linked list (as used in the
current headers implementation). That's totally fine though, because when looking at the
benchmark results @ejona86 pointed out that the performance of the headers is completely
dominated by insertion, that is insertion is so significantly faster in the new implementation
that it does make up for several times the iteration speed. You can't iterate what you haven't
inserted. I am demonstrating that in this spreadsheet [1]. (Actually, iteration performance is
only down for HTTP, it's significantly improved for HTTP/2).
- Memory is down. The implementation with TreeMap uses on avg ~30% less memory. It also does not
produce any garbage while being resized. In load tests for GRPC we have seen a memory reduction
of up to 1.2KB per RPC. I summarized the memory improvements in this spreadsheet [1]. The data
was generated by [2] using JOL.
- While it was my original intend to only improve the memory usage for HTTP/2, it should be similarly
improved for HTTP, SPDY and STOMP as they all share a common implementation.

Motivation:
The HttpObjectDecoder is on the hot code path for the http codec. There are a few hot methods which can be modified to improve performance.
Modifications:
- Modify AppendableCharSequence to provide unsafe methods which don't need to re-check bounds for every call.
- Update HttpObjectDecoder methods to take advantage of new AppendableCharSequence methods.
Result:
Peformance boost for decoding http objects.
Motivation:
See #3783
Modifications:
- The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController should use Channel.isWritable() before attempting to do any write operations.
- The Flow controller methods should no longer take ChannelHandlerContext. The concept of flow control is tied to a connection and we do not support 1 flow controller keeping track of multiple ChannelHandlerContext.
Result:
Writes are delayed until isWritable() is true. Flow controller interface methods are more clear as to ChannelHandlerContext restrictions.
Motivation:
Coalescing many small writes into a larger DATA frame reduces framing overheads on the wire and reduces the number of calls to Http2FrameListeners on the remote side.
Delaying the write of WINDOW_UPDATE until flush allows for more consumed bytes to be returned as the aggregate of consumed bytes is returned and not the amount consumed when the threshold was crossed.
Modifications:
- Remote flow controller no longer immediately writes bytes when a flow-controlled payload is enqueued. Sequential data payloads are now merged into a single CompositeByteBuf which are written when 'writePendingBytes' is called.
- Listener added to remote flow-controller which observes written bytes per stream.
- Local flow-controller no longer immediately writes WINDOW_UPDATE when the ratio threshold is crossed. Now an explicit call to 'writeWindowUpdates' triggers the WINDOW_UPDATE for all streams who's ratio is exceeded at that time. This results in
fewer window updates being sent and more bytes being returned.
- Http2ConnectionHandler.flush triggers 'writeWindowUpdates' on the local flow-controller followed by 'writePendingBytes' on the remote flow-controller so WINDOW_UPDATES preceed DATA frames on the wire.
Result:
- Better throughput for writing many small DATA chunks followed by a flush, saving 9-bytes per coalesced frame.
- Fewer WINDOW_UPDATES being written and more flow-control bytes returned to remote side more quickly, thereby improving throughput.
Motivation:
The ByteString class currently assumes the underlying array will be a complete representation of data. This is limiting as it does not allow a subsection of another array to be used. The forces copy operations to take place to compensate for the lack of API support.
Modifications:
- add arrayOffset method to ByteString
- modify all ByteString and AsciiString methods that loop over or index into the underlying array to use this offset
- update all code that uses ByteString.array to ensure it accounts for the offset
- add unit tests to test the implementation respects the offset
Result:
ByteString and AsciiString can represent a sub region of a byte[].
Motivation:
Streams currently maintain a hash map of user-defined properties, which has been shown to add significant memory overhead as well as being a performance bottleneck for lookup of frequently used properties.
Modifications:
Modifying the connection/stream to use an array as the storage of user-defined properties, indexed by the class that identifies the index into the array where the property is stored.
Result:
Stream processing performance should be improved.
Motivation:
Flow control is a required part of the HTTP/2 specification but it is currently structured more like an optional item. It must be accessed through the property map which is time consuming and does not represent its required nature. This access pattern does not give any insight into flow control outside of the codec (or flow controller implementation).
Modifications:
1. Create a read only public interface for LocalFlowState and RemoteFlowState.
2. Add a LocalFlowState localFlowState(); and RemoteFlowState remoteFlowState(); to Http2Stream.
Result:
Flow control is not part of the Http2Stream interface. This clarifies its responsibility and logical relationship to other interfaces. The flow controller no longer must be acquired though a map lookup.
Motivation:
There is no benchmark to measure the priority tree implementation performance.
Modifications:
Introduce a new benchmark which will populate the priority tree, and then shuffle parent/child links around.
Result:
A simple benchmark to get a baseline for the HTTP/2 codec's priority tree implementation.
Motivation:
Allows for running benchmarks from built jars which is useful in development environments that only take released artifacts.
Modifications:
Move benchmarks into 'main' from 'test'
Add @State annotations to benchmarks that are missing them
Fix timing issue grabbing context during channel initialization
Result:
Users can run benchmarks more easily.
Motivation:
The current implementation does byte by byte comparison, which we have seen
can be a performance bottleneck when the AsciiString is used as the key in
a Map.
Modifications:
Use sun.misc.Unsafe (on supporting platforms) to compare up to eight bytes at a time
and get closer to the performance of String.equals(Object).
Result:
Significant improvement (2x - 6x) in performance over the current implementation.

Motivation:
The usage and code within AsciiString has exceeded the original design scope for this class. Its usage as a binary string is confusing and on the verge of violating interface assumptions in some spots.
Modifications:
- ByteString will be created as a base class to AsciiString. All of the generic byte handling processing will live in ByteString and all the special character encoding will live in AsciiString.
Results:
The AsciiString interface will be clarified. Users of AsciiString can now be clear of the limitations the class imposes while users of the ByteString class don't have to live with those limitations.
Motivation:
The Http2FrameWriterBenchmark JMH harness class name was not updated for the JVM arguments. The number of forks is 0 which means the JHM will share a JVM with the benchmarks. Sharing the JVM may lead to less reliable benchmarking results and as doesn't allow for the command line arguments to be applied for each benchmark.
Modifications:
- Update the JMH version from 0.9 to 1.7.1. Benchmarks wouldn't run on old version.
- Increase the number of forks from 0 to 1.
- Remove allocation of environment from static and cleanup AfterClass to using the Setup and Teardown methods. The forked JVM would not shut down correctly otherwise (and wait for 30+ seconds before timeing out).
Result:
Benchmarks that run as intended.
Motivation:
It currently takes a builder for the encoder and decoder, which makes it difficult to decorate them.
Modifications:
Removed the builders from the interfaces entirely. Left the builder for the decoder impl but removed it from the encoder since it's constructor only takes 2 parameters. Also added decorator base classes for the encoder and decoder and made the CompressorHttp2ConnectionEncoder extend the decorator.
Result:
Fixes#3530
Motivation:
The backport of a6c729bdf8 failed.
Modifications:
- Make sure the interfaces are correctly implemented when backporting.
Result:
Microbenchmark compiles and runs on 4.1 branch.
Motivation:
A microbenchmark will be useful to get a baseline for performance.
Modifications:
- Introduce a new microbenchmark which tests the Http2DefaultFrameWriter.
- Allow benchmarks to run without thread context switching between JMH and Netty.
Result:
Microbenchmark exists to test performance.
Motivation
----------
The performance tests for utf8 also used the getBytes on ASCII,
which is incorrect and also provides different performance numbers.
Modifications
-------------
Use CharsetUtil.UTF_8 instead of US_ASCII for the getBytes calls.
Result
------
Accurate and semantically correct benchmarking results on utf8
comparisons.
Motivation:
We expose no methods in ByteBuf to directly write a CharSequence into it. This leads to have the user either convert the CharSequence first to a byte array or use CharsetEncoder. Both cases have some overheads and we can do a lot better for well known Charsets like UTF-8 and ASCII.
Modifications:
Add ByteBufUtil.writeAscii(...) and ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) which can do the task in an optimized way. This is especially true if the passed in ByteBuf extends AbstractByteBuf which is true for all of our implementations which not wrap another ByteBuf.
Result:
Writing an ASCII and UTF-8 CharSequence into a AbstractByteBuf is a lot faster then what the user could do by himself as we can make use of some package private methods and so eliminate reference and range checks. When the Charseq is not ASCII or UTF-8 we can still do a very good job and are on par in most of the cases with what the user would do.

The *ViaArray* benchmarks are basically doing a toString().getBytes(Charset) which the others are using ByteBufUtil.write*(...).
Motivation:
The java implementations for Inet6Address.getHostName() do not follow the RFC 5952 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952#section-4) for recommended string representation. This introduces inconsistencies when integrating with other technologies that do follow the RFC.
Modifications:
-NetUtil.java to have another public static method to convert InetAddress to string. Inet4Address will use the java InetAddress.getHostAddress() implementation and there will be new code to implement the RFC 5952 IPV6 string conversion.
-New unit tests to test the new method
