[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTM-2010) Scalability Enhancements for BlackTie

Scalability Enhancements for BlackTie ------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2010 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2010 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Feature Request Components: BlackTie Reporter: Tom Jenkinson Priority: Minor At the moment we are using traditional IO techniques which means there is a single thread and connection per service on the C++ side and a single thread per server per service on the WildFly side. For example: 10 servers with 10 services = 10 threads on the client side, 100 threads on the wildfly side We should look to use AIO on the Java side and apr pollset on the C++ side to reduce the number of threads. This will not reduce the physical number of connections but should allow the server to scale much higher. 1. use AIO for StompConnect, 2. add a configurably sized connection polling pool to BlackTie C++, 3. use a common pool for servicedispatchers, so for example if 10 services with a size of 10 would normally mean 100 threads, we can say 10 services, size of 10, share 10 threads.
