Hi, what do you guys think about: https://github.com/apache/karaf/pull/246
As noticed by me, and already reported here: https://issues.apache. org/jira/browse/FELIX-5247 The current default behaviour is that every "resolve()" call will create a new Executor Pool with number of CPU Cores as size. This is not very efficient. In my opinion this is unexpected behaviour by Felix, but fortunately we can use other constructors. I left in my PR the default behaviour, but added a new one, which can re-use a bounded or unbounded ThreadPoolExecutor. I did not use a FixedThreadPool because i wanted to mimic the current behaviour, which is: After the resolve call, these Threads are gone again. What do you guys think? Should we change the current "implicit default" to re-use a Thread Pool? Is a ThreadPoolExecutor with timeout fine to mimic the current behaviour, or would we want to change this, lets say to have a dedicated thread pool always available for Felix Resolve calls? (This would then be like Executors.newFixedThreadPool()) I am trying to get this change into karaf 4.0.8.
