This commit is related to #27260. Right now we have separate read and
write contexts for implementing specific protocol logic. However, some
protocols require a closer relationship between read and write
operations than is allowed by our current model. An example is HTTP
which might require a write if some problem with request parsing was
encountered.
Additionally, some protocols require close messages to be sent when a
channel is shutdown. This is also problematic in our current model,
where we assume that channels should simply be queued for close and
forgotten.
This commit transitions to a single ChannelContext which implements
all read, write, and close logic for protocols. It is the job of the
context to tell the selector when to close the channel. A channel can
still be manually queued for close with a selector. This is how server
channels are closed for now. And this route allows timeout mechanisms on
normal channel closes to be implemented.
The method `initiateChannel` on `TcpTransport` is explicit in that
channels can be connect asynchronously. All production implementations
do connect asynchronously. Only the blocking `MockTcpTransport`
connects in a synchronous manner. This avoids testing some of the
blocking code in `TcpTransport` that waits on connections to complete.
Additionally, it requires a more extensive method signature than
required for other transports.
This commit modifies the `MockTcpTransport` to make these connections
asynchronously on a different thread. Additionally, it simplifies that
`initiateChannel` method signature.
This commit is related to #27260. It moves the TcpChannelFactory into
NioTransport so that consumers do not have to be passed around.
Additionally it deletes an unused read handler.
This is related to #27260. This commit moves the NioTransport from
:test:framework to a new nio-transport plugin. Additionally, supporting
tcp decoding classes are moved to this plugin. Generic byte reading and
writing contexts are moved to the nio library.
Additionally, this commit adds a basic MockNioTransport to
:test:framework that is a TcpTransport implementation for testing that
is driven by nio.
