My story on using Netty

[Frederic Bregier]

Hi all Netty members !

Thank you for your support ! And yes I already got feedback privately ;-)

Just a short note to let you know the progress on the GoldenGate project:
- FTP is supposed to be stable now and is entering its 1.0 version and
should be in production in some months.

- OpenR66 is at its 0.6.0 version now. It is completed in term of
development but needs some documentations and more testing before getting a
major version number. It should however be in production in the same time
than the FTP project.

- I work a bit on the HTTP side of Netty and propose (still in progress)
some new handlers added in the http package into Netty that will enable us
to use the Http model of Netty instead of Tomcat (we needed the
multipart/upload from a POST request which was not ready in Netty).

What is in front of us now is the following:
- Still rewrinting OpenLSD using Netty and specifically OpenR66 which would
tend to be the main transfer protocol. (last priority for now)

- Thinking of writing SSH (SCP) support using Netty. I've still not started
to think about it, but my feeling is that it should be possible to implement
it such that it could be included natively in the Netty distribution.
(second priority)

- Improving the interface in the main GoldenGate project of FTP/HTTP using
Netty with OpenR66 such that no file will be really written on the
filesystem while in the process of the gateway (meaning if one transfer
comes from HTTP or FTP, no bytes should be written on the filesystem but
directly transfered into the OpenR66 protocol as a pass through). (first
priority)
The reason is always the same: as we can have many many files transmitted,
it is just not acceptable to write files on disk on the "gateway" server
since those servers are small one (X86) with only 50GB of available disk
space at most. So let say we have 1000 files in transmission, each one about
1 GB, we could face a problem if we wrote them on disk. So we are currently
preparaing the final touch on the GoldenGate project which will implement
the "pass through" model.

Thank you again for the community support!!!

Cheers,
Frederic
