Motivation:
RedisDecoder can get into an infinite loop while decoding bulk strings if the final \r and \n to indicate the end of content are split on ByteBuf boundaries.
Modifications:
- We should break out of the decode loop if remainingBulkLength is 0 and we don't have enough data to read EOL
Result:
No more infinite loop in RedisDecoder#decodeBulkStringContent.
Motivation:
RedisEncoderTest did not release all buffers correctly which could lead to leaks.
Modifications:
Call ByteBuf.release() after buffer is read.
Result:
No more leaks in RedisEncoderTest.
Related: #4333#4421#5128
Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
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:
We need to ensure we not retain the buffer until readEndOfLine(...) completes as otherwise we may leak memory in the case of an exception.
Modifications:
Only call retain after readEndOfLine(...) returns.
Result:
No more leak in case of exception while decoding redis messages.
Motivation:
- `RedisBulkStringAggregator` raises errors for multiple null bulk strings.
- Null or empty bulk string has no content, but current `RedisDecoder` generates header and contents.
Modifications:
- Fix decoding null bulk string of `RedisDecoder` for `RedisBulkStringAggregator`.
Result:
- Fixes#5184.
