Motivation:
MpscLinkedQueue has various issues:
- It does not work without sun.misc.Unsafe.
- Some field names are confusing.
- Node.tail does not refer to the tail node really.
- The tail node is the starting point of iteration. I think the tail
node should be the head node and vice versa to reduce confusion.
- Some important methods are not implemented (e.g. iterator())
- Not serializable
- Potential false cache sharing problem due to lack of padding
- MpscLinkedQueue extends AtomicReference and thus exposes various
operations that mutates the internal state of the queue directly.
Modifications:
- Use AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater wherever possible so that we do not
use Unsafe directly. (e.g. use lazySet() instead of putOrderedObject)
- Extend AbstractQueue to implement most operations
- Implement serialization and iterator()
- Rename tail to head and head to tail to reduce confusion.
- Rename Node.tail to Node.next.
- Fix a leak where the references in the removed head are not cleared
properly.
- Add Node.clearMaybe() method so that the value of the new head node
is cleared if possible.
- Add some comments for my own educational purposes
- Add padding to the head node
- Add FullyPaddedReference and RightPaddedReference for future reuse
- Make MpscLinkedQueue package-local so that a user cannot access the
dangerous yet public operations exposed by the superclass.
- MpscLinkedQueue.Node becomes MpscLinkedQueueNode, a top level class
Result:
- It's more like a drop-in replacement of ConcurrentLinkedQueue for the
MPSC case.
- Works without sun.misc.Unsafe
- Code potentially easier to understand
- Fixed leak (related: #2372)

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:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
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
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
