Cancelling a time out event

[Marc-André Laverdière]

Hello everyone,

I have a pipeline with a timeout handler. Now, it happens that the
timeout event gets triggered while the processing is happening. This
is what I hacked into place into my main handler:

	@Override
	public void closeRequested(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
ChannelStateEvent e) throws Exception {
		//Don't let operations time out in the middle of request processing
		//This is a downstream event, so we can cancel its Future
		if (isHandlingRequest.get()) {
			e.getFuture().cancel();
			logger.trace("Cancelled close request because we are in the middle
of processing something");
		} else super.closeRequested(ctx, e);
	}

Is this the right way to handle this? Is this creating extraneous
processing that could hurt performance?

Thanks and regards,

Marc-André LAVERDIÈRE
