Motivation:
Implement commonly used string-based operations (originally Netty CharSequence) for byte buffers.
Modifications:
Added read/write/get/set strings methods to byte buffers.
Also reduced unsafe pin/unpins for byte operations.
Result:
String-based operations are supported in DotNetty
Motivation:
It is a common task to manage various timeouts in networking code. Normal high precision timers usually trade performance for precision which is a flexible requirement with timeouts.
Modifications:
- added HashedWheelTimer
- moved RejectedExecutionException to Common.Concurrency
Result:
- users may choose to use HWT in their code to avoid contentions due to frequent timer management.
