Norman Maurer b9d277dbcb Support using an Executor to offload blocking / long-running tasks wh… (#8847)
Motivation:

The SSLEngine does provide a way to signal to the caller that it may need to execute a blocking / long-running task which then can be offloaded to an Executor to ensure the I/O thread is not blocked. Currently how we handle this in SslHandler is not really optimal as while we offload to the Executor we still block the I/O Thread.

Modifications:

- Correctly support offloading the task to the Executor while suspending processing of SSL in the I/O Thread
- Add new methods to SslContext to specify the Executor when creating a SslHandler
- Remove @deprecated annotations from SslHandler constructor that takes an Executor
- Adjust tests to also run with the Executor to ensure all works as expected.

Result:

Be able to offload long running tasks to an Executor when using SslHandler. Partly fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7862 and https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7020.

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.
