Class AbstractMultiworkerIOReactor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    IOReactor
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    DefaultConnectingIOReactor, DefaultListeningIOReactor

    public abstract class AbstractMultiworkerIOReactor
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements IOReactor
    Generic implementation of IOReactor that can run multiple BaseIOReactor instances in separate worker threads and distribute newly created I/O sessions equally across those I/O reactors for more optimal resource utilization and better I/O performance. Usually it is recommended to have one worker I/O reactor per physical CPU core.

    Important note about exception handling

    Protocol specific exceptions as well as those I/O exceptions thrown in the course of interaction with the session's channel are to be expected are to be dealt with by specific protocol handlers. These exceptions may result in termination of an individual session but should not affect the I/O reactor and all other active sessions. There are situations, however, when the I/O reactor itself encounters an internal problem such as an I/O exception in the underlying NIO classes or an unhandled runtime exception. Those types of exceptions are usually fatal and will cause the I/O reactor to shut down automatically.

    There is a possibility to override this behavior and prevent I/O reactors from shutting down automatically in case of a runtime exception or an I/O exception in internal classes. This can be accomplished by providing a custom implementation of the IOReactorExceptionHandler interface.

    If an I/O reactor is unable to automatically recover from an I/O or a runtime exception it will enter the shutdown mode. First off, it cancel all pending new session requests. Then it will attempt to close all active I/O sessions gracefully giving them some time to flush pending output data and terminate cleanly. Lastly, it will forcibly shut down those I/O sessions that still remain active after the grace period. This is a fairly complex process, where many things can fail at the same time and many different exceptions can be thrown in the course of the shutdown process. The I/O reactor will record all exceptions thrown during the shutdown process, including the original one that actually caused the shutdown in the first place, in an audit log. One can obtain the audit log using getAuditLog(), examine exceptions thrown by the I/O reactor prior and in the course of the reactor shutdown and decide whether it is safe to restart the I/O reactor.

      • execute

        public void execute​(IOEventDispatch eventDispatch)
                     throws java.io.InterruptedIOException,
                            IOReactorException
        Activates the main I/O reactor as well as all worker I/O reactors. The I/O main reactor will start reacting to I/O events and triggering notification methods. The worker I/O reactor in their turn will start reacting to I/O events and dispatch I/O event notifications to the given IOEventDispatch interface.

        This method will enter the infinite I/O select loop on the Selector instance associated with this I/O reactor and used to manage creation of new I/O channels. Once a new I/O channel has been created the processing of I/O events on that channel will be delegated to one of the worker I/O reactors.

        The method will remain blocked unto the I/O reactor is shut down or the execution thread is interrupted.

        Specified by:
        execute in interface IOReactor
        Parameters:
        eventDispatch - the I/O event dispatch.
        Throws:
        java.io.InterruptedIOException - if the dispatch thread is interrupted.
        IOReactorException - in case if a non-recoverable I/O error.
