Norman Maurer 8e72071d76 Remove ability to specify a custom EventExecutor when adding handlers… (#8778)
Motiviation:

In the past we allowed to use different EventExecutors for different ChannelHandlers in the ChannelPipeline. This introduced a lot of complexity while not providing much gain. Also it made the pipeline racy in terms of adding / remove handlers in some situations. This feature is not really used in the wild and can be easily archived by offloading heavy logic to an Executor by the user itself.

Modifications:

- Remove the ability to provide custom EventExecutor when adding handlers to the pipeline.
- Remove testcode that is not needed any more
- Ensure a handler is correctly visible in the pipeline when asked for it by the user while not be used until the EventLoop runs. This ensures correct ordering and visibility.
- Correctly remove ChannelHandlers from pipeline when scheduling of handlerAdded(...) callbacks fail.

Result:

Remove races in DefaultChannelPipeline and simplify implementation of AbstractChannelHandlerContext.

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.
