public class HashedWheelTimer extends Object implements Timer
Timer
optimized for approximated I/O timeout scheduling.
TimerTask
on time. HashedWheelTimer
, on every tick, will
check if there are any TimerTask
s behind the schedule and execute
them.
You can increase or decrease the accuracy of the execution timing by specifying smaller or larger tick duration in the constructor. In most network applications, I/O timeout does not need to be accurate. Therefore, the default tick duration is 100 milliseconds and you will not need to try different configurations in most cases.
HashedWheelTimer
maintains a data structure called 'wheel'.
To put simply, a wheel is a hash table of TimerTask
s whose hash
function is 'dead line of the task'. The default number of ticks per wheel
(i.e. the size of the wheel) is 512. You could specify a larger value
if you are going to schedule a lot of timeouts.
HashedWheelTimer
creates a new thread whenever it is instantiated and
started. Therefore, you should make sure to create only one instance and
share it across your application. One of the common mistakes, that makes
your application unresponsive, is to create a new instance in
ChannelPipelineFactory
, which results in the creation of a new thread
for every connection.
HashedWheelTimer
is based on
George Varghese and
Tony Lauck's paper,
'Hashed
and Hierarchical Timing Wheels: data structures to efficiently implement a
timer facility'. More comprehensive slides are located
