The code we have will try for epoll and then fall back to nio if it does not work. There are a few places in the code that we do this, but they all more or less boil down to something like the following
static EventLoopGroup getDefaultEventLoopGroup() { ThreadFactory threadFactory = new DefaultThreadFactory("bookkeeper-io"); final int numThreads = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() * 2; if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_LINUX) { try { return new EpollEventLoopGroup(numThreads, threadFactory); } catch (Throwable t) { if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) { LOG.debug("Could not use Netty Epoll event loop: {}", t.getMessage()); } return new NioEventLoopGroup(numThreads, threadFactory); } } else { return new NioEventLoopGroup(numThreads, threadFactory); } } ... if (eventLoopGroup instanceof EpollEventLoopGroup) { bootstrap.channel(EpollServerSocketChannel.class); } else { bootstrap.channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class); } - Bobby On Saturday, March 4, 2017, 8:29:52 AM CST, Enrico Olivelli <eolive...@gmail.com> wrote:Hi all, As we are switching to netty 4.1 maybe ee can look to this too: http://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html Even if I have been using netty 4 for some year I did not get this promising feature on linux. Did any of you ever give it a try? Enrico -- -- Enrico Olivelli
