Re: [undertow-dev] Resizing undertow thread pool size dynamically
We are using the servlet API and I am referring to worker pool. Simply we
don't want keeping bunch of idle threads in the JVM consuming some
resources without doing any thing useful.
So with the bounded queue executor, when the value of the task-max-threads
parameter is reached, the number of threads in the worker pool couldn't be
decreased ?
Thank you.
Mohammed.

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.
