Motivation
Currently when future tasks are scheduled via EventExecutors from a
different thread, at least two allocations are performed - the
ScheduledFutureTask wrapping the to-be-run task, and a Runnable wrapping
the action to add to the scheduled task priority queue. The latter can
be avoided by incorporating this logic into the former.
Modification
- When scheduling or cancelling a future task from outside the event
loop, enqueue the task itself rather than wrapping in a Runnable
- Have ScheduledFutureTask#run first verify the task's deadline has
passed and if not add or remove it from the scheduledTaskQueue depending
on its cancellation state
- Add new outside-event-loop benchmarks to ScheduleFutureTaskBenchmark
Result
Fewer allocations when scheduling/cancelling future tasks
