Netty能自动处理请求的排队吗？

Question

在Apache PLC4X项目(https://plc4x.apache.org)中，我们正在使用Netty实现工业PLC的驱动程序。这里，通常有多种协议是分层的。有时，一个层要求我们将一个消息分解为底层的多个消息。现在我们面临一个大问题:一个协议协商每个连接的最大未确认消息数。因此，我们不能发送比这个最大值更多的消息，否则接收方只会发送错误响应。

现在，我们不需要在encode方法中添加"out“，而是将它们添加到某种队列中，并让一些Netty机制负责排空该队列.在Netty有这样的机制吗？如果没有，实现这一目标的最佳方式是什么？

如果有很好的Netty洞察力的人能够加入我们的项目邮件列表(dev@plc4x.apache.org)的话，也会很酷，因为我们还在为Netty做一些非常酷的添加(以太网帧上的原始套接字传输和IP数据包基础上的一个).我敢打赌，这两个项目都能从中获益良多。

虽然Netty没有提供这样一个现成的处理程序，但是由于内部设计的原因，这样的最大并发挂起请求是非常容易的。

可以使用Netty框架中的PendingWriteQueue类与一个通用处理程序相结合来制作这样的处理程序：

import io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter;
import io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext;
import io.netty.channel.ChannelPromise;
import io.netty.channel.PendingWriteQueue;

public class MaxPendingRequestHandler extends ChannelHandlerAdapter {

    private PendingWriteQueue queue;
    private int freeSlots;

    public MaxPendingRequestHandler(int maxRequests) {
        this.freeSlots = maxRequests;
    }

    private synchronized void trySendMessages(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
        if(this.freeSlots > 0) {
            while(this.freeSlots > 0) {
                if(this.queue.removeAndWrite() == null) {
                    ctx.flush();
                    return;
                }
                this.freeSlots--;
            }
            ctx.flush();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void channelRegistered(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
        this.queue = new PendingWriteQueue(ctx);
    }

    @Override
    public void channelInactive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
        // Send everything so we get a proper failurefor those pending writes
        this.queue.removeAndWriteAll();
        super.channelInactive(ctx);
    }

    @Override
    public void channelUnregistered(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
        this.queue.removeAndWriteAll();
        super.channelUnregistered(ctx);
    }

    @Override
    public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) throws Exception {
        this.queue.add(msg, promise);
        trySendMessages(ctx);
    }

    @Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
        synchronized(this) {
            this.freeSlots++;
            trySendMessages(ctx);
        }
        super.channelRead(ctx, msg);
    }

}

该处理程序的工作原理是，它保存队列中的每条新消息，并在每次写入/读取时检查线路上的空闲插槽。

请注意，处理程序应该放在数据包解码器/编码器之后的管道中，否则当将传入的数据包作为潜在的多个数据包进行计数时会出现问题，例如：

pipeline.addLast(new PacketCodex()); // A codex exists of an encoder and decoder, you can also ass them seperately
// pipeline.addLast(new TrafficShapingHandler()) // Optional, depending on your required protocols
// pipeline.addLast(new IdleStateHandler())      // Optional, depending on your required protocols
pipeline.addLast(new MaxPendingRequestHandler())
pipeline.addLast(new Businesshandler())

当然，您还想验证我们的处理程序是否工作，这可以使用包含EmbeddedChannel &JUnit的单元测试来完成：

public class MaxPendingRequestHandlerTest {

    @Test
    public void testMaxPending() {
        EmbeddedChannel channel = new EmbeddedChannel(new MaxPendingRequestHandler(3));

        // channel.writeOutbound("1", "2", "3"); // This doesn't work as it expects operations to complete directly

        channel.write("1");
        channel.write("2");
        channel.write("3");
        channel.write("4");
        channel.write("5");
        channel.write("6");

        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "1");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "2");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "3");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), (Object)null);
    }

    @Test
    public void testMaxPendingWhenAResponseHasReceived() {
        EmbeddedChannel channel = new EmbeddedChannel(new MaxPendingRequestHandler(3));

        // channel.writeOutbound("1", "2", "3"); // This doesn't work as it expects operations to complete directly

        channel.write("1");
        channel.write("2");
        channel.write("3");
        channel.write("4");
        channel.write("5");
        channel.write("6");

        channel.writeInbound("RE: 1");

        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "1");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "2");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "3");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "4");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), (Object)null);
    }

    @Test
    public void testMaxPendingWhenAllResponseHasReceived() {
        EmbeddedChannel channel = new EmbeddedChannel(new MaxPendingRequestHandler(3));

        // channel.writeOutbound("1", "2", "3"); // This doesn't work as it expects operations to complete directly

        channel.write("1");
        channel.write("2");
        channel.write("3");
        channel.write("4");
        channel.write("5");
        channel.write("6");

        channel.writeInbound("RE: 1");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 2");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 3");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 4");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 5");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 6");

        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "1");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "2");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "3");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "4");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "5");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "6");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), (Object)null);
    }

    @Test
    public void testMaxPendingWhenAllResponseHasReceivedAndNewMessagesAreSend() {
        EmbeddedChannel channel = new EmbeddedChannel(new MaxPendingRequestHandler(3));

        // channel.writeOutbound("1", "2", "3"); // This doesn't work as it expects operations to complete directly

        channel.write("1");
        channel.write("2");
        channel.write("3");
        channel.write("4");
        channel.write("5");
        channel.write("6");

        channel.writeInbound("RE: 1");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 2");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 3");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 4");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 5");
        channel.writeInbound("RE: 6");

        channel.write("7");
        channel.write("8");
        channel.write("9");
        channel.write("10");

        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "1");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "2");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "3");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "4");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "5");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "6");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "7");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "8");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), "9");
        Assert.assertEquals(channel.readOutbound(), (Object)null);
    }
