Motivation:
In most cases, we want to use MultithreadEventLoopGroup such as NioEventLoopGroup without setting thread numbers but thread name only. So we need to use followed code:
NioEventLoopGroup boss = new NioEventLoopGroup(0, new DefaultThreadFactory("boss"));
It looks a bit confuse or strange for the number 0 due to we only want to set thread name. So it will be better to add new constructor for this case.
Modifications:
add new constructor into all event loop groups, for example: public NioEventLoopGroup(ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Result:
User can only set thread factory without setting the thread number to 0:
NioEventLoopGroup boss = new NioEventLoopGroup(new DefaultThreadFactory("boss"));
