Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motiviation:
We incorrectly did ignore NS servers during redirect which had no ADDITIONAL record. This could at worse have the affect that we failed the query completely as none of the NS servers had a ADDITIONAL record. Beside this using a DnsCache to cache authoritative nameservers does not work in practise as we we need different features and semantics when cache these servers (for example we also want to cache unresolved nameservers and resolve these on the fly when needed).
Modifications:
- Correctly take NS records into account that have no matching ADDITIONAL record
- Correctly handle multiple ADDITIONAL records for the same NS record
- Introduce AuthoritativeDnsServerCache as a replacement of the DnsCache when caching authoritative nameservers + adding default implementation
- Add an adapter layer to reduce API breakage as much as possible
- Replace DnsNameResolver.uncachedRedirectDnsServerStream(...) with newRedirectDnsServerStream(...)
- Add unit tests
Result:
Our DnsResolver now correctly handle redirects in all cases.
Motivation:
We are currently always remove all entries from the cache for a hostname if the lowest TTL was reached but schedule one for each of the cached entries. This is wasteful.
Modifications:
- Reimplement logic to schedule TTL to only schedule a new removal task if the requested TTL was actual lower then the one for the already scheduled task.
- Ensure we only remove from the internal map if we did not replace the Entries in the meantime.
Result:
Less overhead in terms of scheduled tasks for the DefaultDnsCache
Motivation:
We should ensure we return the same cached entries for the hostname and hostname ending with dot. Beside this we also should use it for the searchdomains as well.
Modifications:
- Internally always use hostname with a dot as a key and so ensure we correctly handle it in the cache.
- Also query the cache for each searchdomain
- Add unit tests
Result:
Use the same cached entries for hostname with and without trailing dot. Query the cache for each searchdomain query as well
Motivation:
a598c3b69b added a upper limit for ttl but missed to also do the same for minTtl.
Modifications:
- Add upper limit for minTtl
- Add testcase.
Result:
No more IllegalArgumentException possible.
Motivation:
Due a bug we did never store more then one address per hostname in DefaultDnsCache.
Modifications:
- Correctly store multiple entries per hostname
- Add tests
Result:
DefaultDnsCache correctly stores more then one entry. Also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7882 .
Motivation:
In b47fb81799 we limited the max supported delay to match what our internal implementat can support. Because of this it was possible that DefaultDnsCache produced an IllegalArgumentException when it tried to schedule a expiration > 3 years.
Modifications:
Limit the max supported TTL to 2 years which is safe for all our EventLoop implementations.
Result:
No more exceptions when adding records to the cache with a huge TTL.
Motivation:
At the moment DefaultDnsCache will expire each record dependong on its own TTL. This may result in unexpected results for the end-user especially if the user for example uses IPV4_PREFERED but the cached AAAA records has a higher TTL then the A records and so the A record was removed. In this case we would only return the AAAA record and not even try to refresh.
Modifications:
Always expire all records for a hostname when one TTL is reached.
Result:
Fixes [#7329]
Motivation:
The usage of DnsCache in DnsNameResolver was racy in general. First of the isEmpty() was not called in a synchronized block while we depended on synchronized. The other problem was that this whole synchronization only worked if the DefaultDnsCache was used and the returned List was not wrapped by the user.
Modifications:
- Rewrite DefaultDnsCache to not depend on synchronization on the returned List by using a CoW approach.
Result:
Fixes [#7583] and other races.
Motivation:
DnsCache (an interface) is coupled to DnsCacheEntry (a final class). This means that DnsCache implementations can't implement their own DnsCacheEntry objects if the default behavior isn't appropriate.
Modifications:
- DnsCacheEntry should be moved to DefaultDnsCache as it is an implementation detail
- DnsCache#cache(..) should return a new DnsCacheEntry
- The methods which from DnsCacheEntry that were used outside the scope of DefaultDnsCache should be moved into an interface
Result:
DnsCache is more extensible and not tightly coupled to a default implementation of DnsCacheEntry.
Motivation:
RFC7871 defines an extension which allows to request responses for a given subset.
Modifications:
- Add DnsOptPseudoRrRecord which can act as base class for extensions based on EDNS(0) as defined in RFC6891
- Add DnsOptEcsRecord to support the Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension
- Add tests
Result:
Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension is now supported.
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:
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:
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.
