Upgrade to Netty 4

[infynyxx]

Netty 4 is nearing completion so, it would be lovely to see that up for use.

[andrewcox]

Is already being worked on

[infynyxx]

Sweet. Can't find that branch though.

[andrewcox]

Sorry I should have been more specific. There is no branch for it yet, but it's almost ready to go up. Just working out a few performance problems.

[hgschmie]

Most users of nifty / swift are still on netty 3.x. Unless we can ensure that netty 3 and netty 4 can co-exist, we need to publish two separate artifacts. I can a factoring out of a reasonable nifty API and then offer a n3 and n4 implementation but an unconditional switch would probably require shading in the netty dependency.

[infynyxx]

Agreed.

Netty 3 and 4 are in different packages (io.netty and org.jboss.netty) , so there should be no problem running them in the same VM.

https://github.com/andrewcox/swift/tree/netty4

These branches build and pass all tests running on netty 4, will be cleaning up and make pull requests soon after netty 4 final is released.

notice pom netty dependency version is 4.0.0.CR1 ,have you test netty latest version,such as netty-4.0.12 final?

[fuyou001]

this branch is not using the stable version of netty 4 which is quite different and will lead the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error.

[raultang]

@andrewcox are you still working on this ?
Seems there is no replacement solutions for using thrift on netty4 or netty5.

[yc2prime]

Still no plan for netty 4 yet?

[andrewcox]

I am working on this again. Here is my working branch that builds & verifies but needs lots of addressing todo items and some code cleanup.

[andrewcox]

And also needs to be rebased to current changes

[sangupta]

Any updates on finalizing the Netty 4 branch soon?

[dmk23]
