Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to make undertow reducing the size of the thread
pool when the server is less loaded. Is there any parameter(or other way) that make an
idle thread die after some inactivity time ?
Are you referring to the worker pool or the I/O pool? The I/O pool is special and is
fixed. The worker pool currently uses a JDK ThreadPoolExecutor with an unbounded queue
which is a behavior pattern typically desired for web servers. That’s not pluggable at the
moment, but it could be possible.
If you are using the HttpHandler APIs, there is a method on HttpServerDispatch that allows
you to use your own custom executor for blocking tasks (which would allow you to tune the
default worker task pool very small). If you are using servlet APIs though that uses the
standard pools we provide.
Is there a particular reason you want to kill idle threads? Threads are cheap unless you
are storing massive amounts of thread local data.
