The auto-create-jms-queues, auto-delete-jms-queues,
auto-create-jms-topics, and auto-delete-jms-topics address settings
were deprecated in ARTEMIS-881 way back in 2016. There's no need to keep
them in the default broker.xml at this point.
JGroups 3.x hasn't been updated in some time now. The last release was
in April 2020 almost 2 years ago. Lots of protocols have been updated
and added and users are wanting to use them. There is also increasing
concern about using older components triggered mainly by other
recently-discovered high-profile vulnerabilities in the wider Open
Source Java community.
This commit bumps JGroups up to the latest release - 5.2.0.Final.
However, there is a cost associated with upgrading.
The old-style properties configuration is no longer supported. I think
it's unlikely that end-users are leveraging this because it is not
exposed via broker.xml. The JGroups XML configuration has been around
for a long time, is widely adopted, and is still supported. I expect
most (if not all) users are using this. However, a handful of tests
needed to be updated and/or removed to deal with this absence.
Some protocols and/or protocol properties are no longer supported. This
means that users may have to change their JGroups stack configurations
when they upgrade. For example, our own clustered-jgroups example had to
be updated or it wouldn't run properly.
It add additional required fixes:
- Fixed uncommitted deleted tx records
- Fixed JDBC authorization on test
- Using property-based version for commons-dbcp2
- stopping thread pool after activation to allow JDBC lease locks to release the lock
- centralize JDBC network timeout configuration and save repeating it
- adding dbcp2 as the default pooled DataSource to be used
Both authentication and authorization will hit the underlying security
repository (e.g. files, LDAP, etc.). For example, creating a JMS
connection and a consumer will result in 2 hits with the *same*
authentication request. This can cause unwanted (and unnecessary)
resource utilization, especially in the case of networked configuration
like LDAP.
There is already a rudimentary cache for authorization, but it is
cleared *totally* every 10 seconds by default (controlled via the
security-invalidation-interval setting), and it must be populated
initially which still results in duplicate auth requests.
This commit optimizes authentication and authorization via the following
changes:
- Replace our home-grown cache with Google Guava's cache. This provides
simple caching with both time-based and size-based LRU eviction. See more
at https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CachesExplained. I also thought
about using Caffeine, but we already have a dependency on Guava and the
cache implementions look to be negligibly different for this use-case.
- Add caching for authentication. Both successful and unsuccessful
authentication attempts will be cached to spare the underlying security
repository as much as possible. Authenticated Subjects will be cached
and re-used whenever possible.
- Authorization will used Subjects cached during authentication. If the
required Subject is not in the cache it will be fetched from the
underlying security repo.
- Caching can be disabled by setting the security-invalidation-interval
to 0.
- Cache sizes are configurable.
- Management operations exist to inspect cache sizes at runtime.
