Hi Oleg
The HTTP/2 transport in trunk has been shaping up reasonably well. I
have made some good progress recently and am cautiously optimistic that
there should be a HttpCore 5.0 alpha release with the new non-blocking
HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transports within a month or two. HttpClient 5.0
alpha should follow in Jan 2017.
This is good to hear. Unfortunately I've not yet had a chance to go
through the changes or the new HTTP/2 codebase yet
(1) I no longer see any reason to continue developing the classic
(blocking) server side transport. We only use it for integration tests
internally for integration tests and I feel there is no reason to not
use non-blocking transport for all integration tests instead.
+1. I do not think there are any other downstream projects using the
blocking server side transports either.
(2) What would you say about HttpCore 5.0 remaining Java 7 compatible
but HttpClient 5.0 requiring Java 8?
I do not see HC 5.0 going GA any time sooner than Q4 2017. By that time
Java 9 should be out and Java 8 might be approaching EOL. Two years ago
Java 7 compatibility sounded like a good idea but it looks less so
today.
+1. Makes sense
(3) Never ending trouble with logging toolkits.
Should be remain faithful to Commons Logging or shall we finally migrate
to SLF4J?
I agree with Gary that Log4J2 is better than SLF4J too. Since we also
have Gary's experience and support to move to it, I think that maybe the
best option.
