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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
