Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-901:
----------------------------------------
It would be great if you supported both netty/nio as part of this change, but
it's really up to you.
Going fwd (long term) we should covert everything over from nio to netty. It's
not a matter of nio vs netty really - it's a matter of security. Netty provides
encryption/auth out of the box (sorta), while we'd have to do a bunch of work
to add this on top of our current nio. So really we're moving to netty
primarily to get security for client & server connectivity. An added bonus is
that netty should simplify our code (although in the short term that's def not
the case).
Thanks!

> Project: Zookeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: leaderElection
> Affects Versions: 3.3.1
> Reporter: Flavio Junqueira
> Assignee: Flavio Junqueira
> Fix For: 3.4.0
>
>
> QuorumCnxManager manages TCP connections between ZooKeeper servers for leader
> election in replicated mode. We have identified over time a couple of
> deficiencies that we would like to fix. Unfortunately, fixing these issues
> requires a little more than just generating a couple of small patches. More
> specifically, I propose, based on previous discussions with the community,
> that we reimplement QuorumCnxManager so that we achieve the following:
> # Establishing connections should not be a blocking operation, and perhaps
> even more important, it shouldn't prevent the establishment of connections
> with other servers;
> # Using a pair of threads per connection is a little messy, and we have seen
> issues over time due to the creation and destruction of such threads. A more
> reasonable approach is to have a single thread and a selector.
