[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1951) Flexible buffers for scatter/gather

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1951?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Bela Ban updated JGRP-1951: --------------------------- Description: Currently, {{Buffers}} and {{WriteBuffers}} are inflexible in that they always expect a length buffer followed by data ({{Buffers}}), or a sequence of len/data pairs ({{WriteBuffers}}). This is bad if we for example want to read a sequence like the one below (for connection establishment in TCP): {noformat} | cookie | version | len | peer-address | (4) (2) (2) (variable) {noformat} Goals: * Have only 1 buffer, for reading *and* writing * Allow to define the sequence by adding buffers dynamically, e.g. in the above case, we'd add a 4 and a 2-length buffer and read data into them. If the cookie and version don't match, throw an exception, else *dynamically* add a length buffer (possibly doing a clear() which removes the first 2 buffers), read data into it, then add a new buffer sized to the read length and finally read data into it. was: Currently, {{Buffers}} and {{WriteBuffers}} are inflexible in that they always expect a length buffer followed by data ({{Buffers}}), or a sequence of len/data pairs ({{WriteBuffers}}).
