  • Context List uses LinkedList inside, and context Entry wraps a Connection
  • ExpiryEntry has HttpConnection in it as well as expiry time
  • Of ExpiryList add operation is based on the current number of seconds + KEEP_ALIVE parameters to calculate the expiry time, KEEP_ALIVE read is JDK httpclient.. Keepalive timeout, read less than the default is 1200 seconds; It is then inserted into the LinkedList based on the expiration time, with the longest expiration time at the head of the list and the near expiration time at the end of the list
  • PollLast removes the oldest of your ExpiryList. PollLast removes a specific connection. ListIterator traverses the LinkedList for matching and then removes it
  • The mayContainEntries variable is maintained and updated when LinkedList is operated on to return whether the ExpiryList has a connection, so that ConnectionPool is not called synchronously when necessary

  • When returnToPool is called, registerCleanupTrigger is called, a CleanupTrigger is created, and conn.getConnectionFlow() is called to get the flow, ConnectFlows (cleanup, cleanup)
  • The CleanupTrigger is both flowTube. TubeSubscriber and flowtubepublisher, calling the cleanup method in the onComplete and onError methods, Remove a connection from HashMap

    and expiryList

  • The CleanupTrigger may function like an active connection health check, notifying the connection pool when the underlying connection is abnormally closed, triggering a cleanup of dirty connections

summary

  • JDK HttpClient ConnectionPool is relatively simple compared to Apache Common Pools.It actually does ExpiryList) :

MAX_POOL_SIZE (JDK. Httpclient. ConnectionPoolSize). Default is 0, said infinite KEEP_ALIVE (JDK. Httpclient. Keepalive. A timeout), default is 1200 seconds

  • ConnectionPool maintains two properties: HashMap

    and expiryList. The former uses a target IP address and a proxy address as cachekeys, each of which maintains a ConnectionPool. The latter, regardless of cacheKey, wraps each connection in the pool and records the expiration time according to KEEP_ALIVE.

  • SelectorManager call purgeExpiredConnectionsAndReturnNextDeadline select the timeout time calculation, this method will clean up (Remove and close) Expired connection
  • In addition to the SelectorManager cleaning up expired connections, the Connection also indirectly triggers a CleanupTrigger via FlowTube to clean up closed or abnormal connections
