/**
* A thread-safe {@link Set} that contains open {@link Channel}s and provides
* various bulk operations on them. Using {@link ChannelGroup}, you can
* categorize {@link Channel}s into a meaningful group (e.g. on a per-service
* or per-state basis.) A closed {@link Channel} is automatically removed from
* the collection, so that you don't need to worry about the life cycle of the
* added {@link Channel}. A {@link Channel} can belong to more than one
* {@link ChannelGroup}.
*
* Broadcast a message to multiple {@link Channel}s
*
* If you need to broadcast a message to more than one {@link Channel}, you can
* add the {@link Channel}s associated with the recipients and call {@link ChannelGroup#write(Object)}:
*
* {@link ChannelGroup} recipients =
* new {@link DefaultChannelGroup}({@link GlobalEventExecutor}.INSTANCE);
* recipients.add(channelA);
* recipients.add(channelB);
* ..
* recipients.write({@link Unpooled}.copiedBuffer(
* "Service will shut down for maintenance in 5 minutes.",
* {@link CharsetUtil}.UTF_8));
*
*
* Simplify shutdown process with {@link ChannelGroup}
*
* If both {@link ServerChannel}s and non-{@link ServerChannel}s exist in the
* same {@link ChannelGroup}, any requested I/O operations on the group are
* performed for the {@link ServerChannel}s first and then for the others.
*
* This rule is very useful when you shut down a server in one shot:
*
*
* {@link ChannelGroup} allChannels =
* new {@link DefaultChannelGroup}({@link GlobalEventExecutor}.INSTANCE);
*
* public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
* {@link ServerBootstrap} b = new {@link ServerBootstrap}(..);
* ...
* b.childHandler(new MyHandler());
*
* // Start the server
* b.getPipeline().addLast("handler", new MyHandler());
* {@link Channel} serverChannel = b.bind(..).sync();
* allChannels.add(serverChannel);
*
* ... Wait until the shutdown signal reception ...
*
* // Close the serverChannel and then all accepted connections.
* allChannels.close().awaitUninterruptibly();
* }
*
* public class MyHandler extends {@link ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter} {
* {@code @Override}
* public void channelActive({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx) {
* // closed on shutdown.
* allChannels.add(ctx.channel());
* super.channelActive(ctx);
* }
* }
*
