Is there way to execute Timer timeouts immediately in the timer thread?

["Trustin Lee (이희승)"]

Hi Sergey,

HashedWheelTimer executes a TimerTask in its timer thread already.

HashedWheelTimer does not spawn a new thread for each timeout but
creates one thread only in the beginning.  You should not create a new
HashedWheelTimer for each new timeout.

HTH,
Trustin
