Netty-based Java RPC server
---------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-405
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-405
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: java
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon


A nonblocking RPC server based on Netty should be more scalable than the 
current implementation.

We should provide two mechanisms for interfacing the RPC server to the 
implementations:

1) "Blocking" RPC implementations run inside a worker threadpool. 
Implementators would not know that they're working in a non-blocking context.
2) "Event-driven" RPC implementations that receive requests and some kind of 
request context. They are responsible for eventually calling 
context.respond(response) or somesuch. This would allow more scalable 
interaction with downstream services.

I propose we focus on (1) first.
