---------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Improvement)
> Implement asynchronous transport with Netty 4
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-2766
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2766
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java - Library
> Reporter: Kai Li
> Labels: performance
>
> Netty 4 provides fully asynchronous transport based on future and memory pool
> management with a mixed algorithm of jemalloc and buddy allocation. Both
> features improve the performance significantly. Although Finagle by Twitter
> and Nifty by Facebook have already used Netty as the underlying transport of
> their Thrift server and client, both are locked in to Netty 3 due to their
> internal usage history. It is not very realistic to expect them to upgrade
> all of their production codebase to use Netty 4 in the near future. The only
> way to integrate the best of Thrift and the latest Netty is to implement
> asynchronous transport in this project.
