> Setting auto-read in Netty to false

> Priority: Minor
>
> By default, auto-read flag is set to true in Netty. This means Netty
> proactively read requests as they become available to a worker. However, this
> behavior sometime causes the off-heap memory to increase continuously. This
> happens specifically in presence of a spike in the amount of received
> requests. In that situation, the processing/handling rate of incoming
> requests may be less than the request receipt rate leading to high-memory
> kill (CGroup kill or OOM). With auto-read flag set to false, we read and
> process requests one by one and (hopefully/presumably) letting the transport
> layer do the flow control (i.e. dropping packets or reducing congestion
> window of TCP).
