Gary Gregory commented on HTTPCORE-509:
---------------------------------------

I'd like [~olegk] to chime in here. If it were up to me, I would commit the 
above code-only solution and then discuss a property solution which would be 
layered on top of the code-only solution.

> AVAIL_PROCS is autoconfigured based on core count

> ], the default value for thread count is based on the detected cores on the 
> system. This is usually acceptable. However, if the library is being run 
> within a container where the reported number of CPUs does not match the 
> actual amount of CPU available, you will see too many threads created in the 
> pool leading to performance degradation.
> Of course a direct user of this library will be able to set this value to a 
> sensible number. However, you will typically see httpcore-nio 4-5 steps down 
> the dependency graph and it is being used by other open source components 
> which in turn are being used by other components.
> I would suggest that we optionally read a system parameter for the value of 
> AVAIL_PROCS. If that system parameter is not available, then we use the value 
> of Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();
