Motivation:
Estimation algorithm currently used for WriteTasks is complicated and
wrong. Additionally, some code relies on outbound buffer size
incremented only on actual writes to the outbound buffer.
Modifications:
- Throw away the old estimator and replace with a simple algorithm that
uses the client-provided estimator along with a statically configured
WriteTask overhead (io.netty.transport.writeTaskSizeOverhead system
property with the default value of 48 bytes)
- Add a io.netty.transport.estimateSizeOnSubmit boolean system property
allowing the clients to disable the message estimation outside the
event loop
Result:
Task estimation is user controllable and produces better results by
default
