porcupine

Configurable threading, resiliency and monitoring with injectable statistics for Java EE 7. Porcupine is the implementation of the bulkhead and handshaking patterns for Java EE 7.

Features:

Conventional: ExecutorService is directly injectable. The thread pool derives the name from the field, but can be easily overridden.
Drop-in install: a single dependency in the pom.xml is sufficient.
Standard based: porcupine uses JSR 236: Concurrency Utilities for JavaTM EE
Small: the entire framework is: 16kB.
Extensible without configuration: All major components can be replaced (big thanks to @Specializes)

Booting Porcupine

Configuration

Dealing with Overload

Automatic Statistics Injection

##Installation

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.airhacks</groupId>
            <artifactId>porcupine</artifactId>
            <version>NEWEST_VERSION</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

With statistics injection into HTTP headers of all JAX-RS resources:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.airhacks</groupId>
            <artifactId>porcupine-spy</artifactId>
            <version>NEWEST_VERSION</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

##Conventional Usage

@Stateless
public class MessagesService {

    @Inject
    @Dedicated
    ExecutorService light;

    @Inject
    @Dedicated
    ExecutorService heavy;

Custom naming is also supported:

    @Inject
    @Dedicated("custom-pool")
    private ExecutorService first;

##Statistics and monitoring

###Exposure

@Path("statistics")
@RequestScoped
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public class StatisticsResource {

    @Inject
    Instance<List<Statistics>> statistics;

	@GET
    public List<Statistics> expose() {
        return this.statistics.get();
	}

}

###Sample output

Unified thread pool statistics are accessible via injection. Individual statistics are injectable with the @Dedicated qualifier.

Custom configuration (fully optional)

@Specializes
public class CustomExecutorConfigurator extends ExecutorConfigurator {

    @Override
    public ExecutorConfiguration defaultConfigurator() {
        return super.defaultConfigurator();
    }

    @Override
    public ExecutorConfiguration forPipeline(String name) {
        if ("heavy".equals(name)) {
            return new ExecutorConfiguration.Builder().
                    corePoolSize(4).
                    maxPoolSize(8).
                    queueCapacity(16).
                    keepAliveTime(1).
                    callerRunsPolicy().
                    build();
        }
        return super.forPipeline(name);
    }

}
