Igniters, This is a continuation of "Use Netty for Java thin client" [1], I'm starting a new thread for better visibility.
The problems with current Java thin client are: * Socket writes block user threads * Every connection uses a separate listener thread (with partition awareness there is a thread for every server node within a single IgniteClient) GridNioServer can work in client mode and solves both of these problems. It is the most practical choice as well at the moment - no extra dependencies required. A potential drawback is increased coupling between thin client and core code, which I'm going to mitigate by abstracting GridNioServer behind a simpler facade, so we can replace it with Netty or something else easier if we decide to split the code. Thoughts, objections? [1] http://apache-ignite-developers.2346864.n4.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Use-Netty-for-Java-thin-client-td49732.html
