I had to use the process dictionary to work around the current
interface for one log call. You have been warned.

A map should now be used when specifying transport options
that contain more than just socket options. It is still
possible to pass a list of socket options directly as a
convenience.
The ack_timeout is renamed to handshake_timeout when
specified as a map. This corresponds to the new function
ranch:handshake/1,2 that will be favored in Ranch 2.0.
Specifying Ranch-specific options via the proplist will
no longer be possible starting from Ranch 2.0.
|
|
This commit deprecates Transport:accept_ack/1 in favor of
a new forward-compatible function. Transport:handshake/1,2
will use ssl:handshake/2,3 from Ranch 2.0 onward.

We always get the acceptor to resume. The child process will
be killed, and the current code will ignore any EXIT message
when that happens because the pid isn't in the process dictionary.

All of it can be found in the manual, which defines what the
code must do, and is always up to date unlike the code comments.

Becoming closer to a standard supervisor everyday.

|
Implements the `shutdown` option as documented previously.
|
|
Doing this in the connection process allows us to free acceptors
to start accepting more connections quicker, especially under load.
|
|
|
|
Exiting with reason `shutdown` or `{shutdown, term()}` is not an error.

It can be called from other nodes too.

Not everything stored in the process dictionary is a pid,
because we use proc_lib. Thanks to the cool spanish girl
at the EUC 2013 for highlighting this issue, and sorry
I forgot your name.

We just don't need this process anymore. Less, simpler code!
API changes:
* Protocols start_link first argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid
* ranch:accept_ack/1 argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid
* ranch_listener:remove_connection/1 becomes ranch:remove_connection/1
and its argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid
Ref is the name of the listener given as first argument to start_listener/6.

This change was designed so that we don't have this supervisor
and ranch_listener performing the same job, namely monitoring
connection processes, the first through links and the second
through monitors.
This change also makes possible various optimizations:
* Acceptors don't need to know about options, maximum number
of connections, or anything else. They can just accept,
pass the socket to the supervisor, and when the supervisor
replies continue accepting connections.
* The supervisor holds most of the information that will be
passed to created processes. This reduces copying.
* The supervisor temporarily takes ownership of the socket,
then creates the connection process and gives it ownership,
streamlining the creation.
* The supervisor can hold acceptors in their receive loop if
max_connections is reached. When this number gets below the
limit it can then send a message to a sleeping acceptor to
make it resume its operations.
* Because we know that all connection process creations are made
from the local Erlang node, we can greatly reduce the number
operations to be made when calling the supervisor.
* Because all acceptors die if this supervisor dies, we can
remove even more operations from the calling code. We do not
need to monitor or wait for a timeout. This reduces the call
code to two statements: send and receive. (Thanks James Fish
for helping with that.)
* The supervisor only needs to keep track of a list of pids.
There is no children specification to be maintained, we do
not need to handle restart strategy (no process can be
restarted because the socket dies with it). We are using
the process dictionary for storing the pids as it proved
to be the simplest and fastest solution.
* The supervisor maintains a count of current connections,
but also of processes (including the ones that removed
themselves from the pool), making any query of these values
very fast.
The supervisor should still be compatible with OTP principles.
It responds to calls from the supervisor module as expected,
although some of them are disabled and an error will be returned,
for example supervisor:start_child/2. It is also started with
proc_lib and handles system messages. sys:get_status/1 can thus
be used as expected.
We can see a great increase in the number of requests/s, a great
improvement in the latency of requests, and we can simply accept
requests faster than before. It will probably have a bigger increase
under virtualized environments, although that's only a guess.
As a result of this, we don't write much anymore in the ranch_server
ets table, so the write_concurrency option was removed. Tests were
also slightly improved to prevent race conditions.

Two general issues were addressed. The first one is the issue with
statically defined pids passed into childspecs. This issue prevents
regular supervisor' children restarts in the case of someone's
failure.
The second one is the not quite appropriate restart strategy.
Changed to rest_for_one which in pair with previous fixes assures
that live connections will not die in the case of partial failure.
Among possible failures are listening socket shutdown or frequent
accept errors.

Also use one export per line to improve future diffs.
Bump the version to 0.2.1 to reflect this change.
|
|
Modules were renamed. The 'cowboy_' prefix became 'ranch_'.
At the same time, ranch_ssl_transport became ranch_ssl,
and ranch_tcp_transport became ranch_tcp, because appending
'_transport' felt a bit redundant considering SSL and TCP
clearly are transports.
One test has been added to make sure everything is working.
