Interface EventLoopGroup

All Known Implementing Classes:

NioEventLoopGroup

public interface EventLoopGroup

The EventLoopGroup is responsible for processing registered channels. Effectively it is the threading model for the io system. An event loop is for example visible on the NioThread where we loop over the selector events. The EventLoopGroup is the group of all these thread instances. The default implementation of this is the NioEventLoopGroup that relies on selectors. But also different implementations can be added like spinning, thread per connection, epoll based etc. todo: - packet/client-message reader and metrics

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	register(Channel channel) Registers a channel at this EventLoopGroup.
void	shutdown() Shuts down this EventLoopGroup.
void	start() Starts this EventLoopGroup.

Method Detail

register

void register(Channel channel)

Registers a channel at this EventLoopGroup. Every Channel should be registered at at most 1 EventLoopGroup and it is very unlikely that during the lifespan of the Channel, it will change its EventLoopGroup.

Parameters:

channel - the channel to register.

start

void start()

Starts this EventLoopGroup.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down this EventLoopGroup.
