* Improved Scheduler API
- Added `Scheduler#builder(plugin)`
This method allows a more simplified builder while maintaining the main requirement of the executor plugin
- Added `Scheduler#taskByPlugin(plugin)`
Allows to obtain the tasks that a plugin has sent to execute and that are currently active
- Added `TaskBuilder#task(Consumer<SchuledTask>)`
Allows to specify a task with access to the task itself with the ability to cancel itself
* Applied requested changes
- Removed tasks builder method
- Added `Scheduler#buildTask(plugin, Consumer<ScheduledTask>)`
* Removed some unused imports
* Applied suggested change
* Fix possible test bug
* Applied more suggested changes
* Fixed tests inside tasks
OpenSSL is much more portable and optimized (important for aarch64) and most systems already have a version.
Unfortunately, OpenSSL likes to break their ABI. Thankfully, Velocity's natives system is very flexible largely, so we can provide multiple versions of this crypto.
Versions of the dynamically-linked crypto were compiled on CentOS 7 (still supported until 2024, uses OpenSSL 1.0.x) and Debian 9 (the oldest distro including OpenSSL 1.1.0, whose LTS supports ends in 2022). The choice of distros was intended to cover most modern distributions (2014 and afterwards).
An ARM compilation (using Debian 9) will be published soon.
libdeflate is significantly faster than vanilla zlib, zlib-ng, and Cloudflare zlib. It is also MIT-licensed (so no licensing concerns). In addition, it simplifies a lot of the native code (something that's been tricky to get right).
While we're at it, I have also taken the time to fine-time compression in Velocity in general. Thanks to this work, native compression only requires one JNI call, an improvement from the more than 2 (sometimes up to 5) that were possible before. This optimization also extends to the existing Java compressors, though they require potentially two JNI calls.
All AES implementations being used are 'copy safe', where the source and
destination arrays may be the same. Lets save ourself a copy and reap
the performance wins!
Using the fact that the Java Deflater/Inflater API now supports
ByteBuffers as of Java 11, we can provide performance benefits equivalent
to the Velocity 1.0.x native compression on servers running Java 11+ on
non-macOS and non-Linux platforms (such as Windows).
We now try to work within the boundaries given by the native. In the
case of Java natives, we work with byte arrays. With natives, always use
direct buffers.
However, the numbers do favor the natives, since they work with direct
byte buffers, without any copying. For the most part, this commit is
intended to improve the lives of Velocity users on Windows.
