Bela Ban created JGRP-1737: ------------------------------ Summary: TP: ignore DONT_BUNDLE flag for sending of messages Key: JGRP-1737 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1737 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.5 Currently, messages tagged with DONT_BUNDLE are sent separately, not as a message bundle through a bundler. On the receiver, they are passed up as single messages, ie. on a separate thread. Sending a lot of single (possibly small) messages is inefficient; it would be better to bundle *all* message on the sender side. This requires a bundler which sends single messages immediately when no other messages are available to be sent. SOLUTION (sender): * If the bundler is *not* "old", ignore the DONT_BUNDLE flag and send the message through the bundler * Else, same as now; send the message immediately as single message SOLUTION (receiver): * When reading the message list and creating the 4 batches (regular, oob, oob+internal, internal), if a message has DONT_BUNDLE set, pass it as single message to the corresponding thread pool and don't add it to the batch This has the advantage that we have a more efficient way of sending messages (as message bundles), yet the behavior (and performance) at the receiver is the same as now -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
