Nick Hill 128403b492 Introduce ByteBuf.maxFastWritableBytes() method (#9086)
Motivation

ByteBuf capacity is automatically increased as needed up to maxCapacity
when writing beyond the buffer's current capacity. However there's no
way to tell in general whether such an increase will result in a
relatively costly internal buffer re-allocation.

For unpooled buffers it always does, in pooled cases it depends on the
size of the associated chunk of allocated memory, which I don't think is
currently exposed in any way.

It would sometimes be useful to know where this limit is when making
external decisions about whether to reuse or preemptively reallocate.

It would also be advantageous to take this limit into account when
auto-increasing the capacity during writes, to defer such reallocation
until really necessary.

Modifications

Introduce new AbstractByteBuf.maxFastWritableBytes() method which will
return a value >= writableBytes() and <= maxWritableBytes().

Make use of the new method in the sizing decision made by the
AbstractByteBuf.ensureWritable(...) methods.

Result

Less reallocation/copying.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build

For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.

You require the following to build Netty:

Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.

Branches to look

Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.

Usage with JDK 9

Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:

  • io.netty.all
  • io.netty.buffer
  • io.netty.codec
  • io.netty.codec.dns
  • io.netty.codec.haproxy
  • io.netty.codec.http
  • io.netty.codec.http2
  • io.netty.codec.memcache
  • io.netty.codec.mqtt
  • io.netty.codec.redis
  • io.netty.codec.smtp
  • io.netty.codec.socks
  • io.netty.codec.stomp
  • io.netty.codec.xml
  • io.netty.common
  • io.netty.handler
  • io.netty.handler.proxy
  • io.netty.resolver
  • io.netty.resolver.dns
  • io.netty.transport
  • io.netty.transport.epoll (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.kqueue (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.unix.common (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.rxtx
  • io.netty.transport.sctp
  • io.netty.transport.udt

Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately in your module-info file.
