Motivation:
As we have java8 as a minimum target we can use MethodHandles. We should do so when we expect to have a method called multiple times.
Modifications:
- Replace usage of reflection with MethodHandles where it makes sense
- Remove some code which was there to support java < 8
Result:
Faster code
Motivation:
939e928312 introduced MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider which will ensure the right nameservers are selected when running on MacOS. To ensure this is done automatically on MacOS we should use it by default on these platforms.
Modifications:
Try to use MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider when on MacOS via reflection and fallback if not possible
Result:
Ensure the right nameservers are used on MacOS even when a VPN (for example) is used.
Motivation:
The resolver API and implementations should be considered stable by now so we should not mark these with @UnstableApi
Modifications:
Remove @UnstableApi annotation from API and implementation of resolver
Result:
Make it explicit that the API is considered stable
Motivation:
We should refresh the DNS configuration each 5 minutes to be able to detect changes done by the user. This is inline with what OpenJDK is doing
Modifications:
Refresh config every 5 minutes.
Result:
Be able to consume changes made by the user.
Motivation:
We should not try to use UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider when on Windows as it will log some error that will produce noise and may confuse users.
Modifications:
Just use DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider if windows is used.
Result:
Less noise in the logs. This was reported in vert.x: https://github.com/eclipse/vert.x/issues/2204
Motivation:
Recently DnsServerAddressStreamProvider was introduced to allow control for each query as to which DNS server should be used for resolution to respect the local host's default DNS server configuration. However resolver-dns also accepts a stream of DNS servers to use by default, but this stream is not host name aware. This creates an ambiguity as to which method is used to determine the DNS server to user during resolution, and in which order. We can remove this ambiguity and provide a more general API by just supporting DnsServerAddressStreamProvider.
Modifications:
- Remove the fixed DnsServerAddresses and instead only accept a DnsServerAddressStreamProvider.
- Add utility methods to help use DnsServerAddressStreamProvider for a single entry, a list of entries, and get the default for the current machine.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6573.
