/**
* A list of {@link ChannelHandler}s which handles or intercepts
* {@link ChannelEvent}s of a {@link Channel}. {@link ChannelPipeline}
* implements an advanced form of the
* <a href="http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/InterceptingFilter.html">Intercepting
* Filter</a> pattern to give a user full control over how an event is handled
* and how the {@link ChannelHandler}s in the pipeline interact with each other.
*
* <h3>Creation of a pipeline</h3>
* <p>
* It is recommended to create a new pipeline using the helper methods in
* {@link Channels} rather than calling an individual implementation's
* constructor.
*
* <h3>How an event flows in a pipeline</h3>
* <p>
* The following diagram describes how {@link ChannelEvent}s are processed by
* {@link ChannelHandler}s in a {@link ChannelPipeline} typically.
* A {@link ChannelEvent} can be handled by either a {@link ChannelUpstreamHandler}
* or a {@link ChannelDownstreamHandler} and be forwarded to the next or
* previous handler by calling {@link ChannelHandlerContext#sendUpstream(ChannelEvent)}
* or {@link ChannelHandlerContext#sendDownstream(ChannelEvent)}. The meaning
* of the event is interpreted somewhat differently depending on whether it is
* going upstream or going downstream. Please refer to {@link ChannelEvent} for
* more information.
*
* <pre>
*
* I/O Request
* via {@link Channel} or
* {@link ChannelHandlerContext}

* +------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
* | I/O Threads (Transport Implementation) |
* +------------------------------------------------------------------+
* </pre>
* Please note that an upstream event flows from the first upstream handler
* to the last upstream handler (i.e. to the next) and a downstream event
* flows from the last downstream handler to the first downstream handler
* (i.e. to the previous).
*
* <h3>Building a pipeline</h3>
* <p>
* A user is supposed to have one or more {@link ChannelHandler}s in a
* pipeline to receive I/O events (e.g. read) and to request I/O operations
* (e.g. write and close). For example, a typical server will have the following
* handlers in each channel's pipeline, but your mileage may vary depending on
* the complexity and characteristics of the protocol and business logic:
*
* <ol>
* <li>Protocol Decoder - translates binary data (e.g. {@link ChannelBuffer})
* into a Java object.</li>
* <li>Protocol Encoder - translates a Java object into binary data.</li>
* <li>{@link ExecutionHandler} - applies a thread model.</li>
* <li>Business Logic Handler - performs the actual business logic
* (e.g. database access).</li>
* </ol>
*
* and it could be represented as shown in the following example:
*
* <pre>
* ChannelPipeline pipeline = {@link Channels#pipeline() Channels.pipeline()};
* pipeline.addLast("decoder", new MyProtocolDecoder());
* pipeline.addLast("encoder", new MyProtocolEncoder());
* pipeline.addLast("executor", new {@link ExecutionHandler}(new {@link OrderedMemoryAwareThreadPoolExecutor}(16, 1048576, 1048576)));
* pipeline.addLast("handler", new MyBusinessLogicHandler());
* </pre>
*
* <h3>Thread safety</h3>
* <p>
* A {@link ChannelHandler} can be added or removed at any time because a
* {@link ChannelPipeline} is thread safe. For example, you can insert a
* {@link SslHandler} when sensitive information is about to be exchanged,
* and remove it after the exchange.
