/**
 * A specialized variation of {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} which enables implementation
 * of a non-blocking decoder in the blocking I/O paradigm.
 * 

* The biggest difference between {@link ReplayingDecoder} and * {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} is that {@link ReplayingDecoder} allows you to * implement the {@code decode()} and {@code decodeLast()} methods just like * all required bytes were received already, rather than checking the * availability of the required bytes. For example, the following * {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} implementation: *

 * public class IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder extends {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} {
 *
 *   {@code @Override}
 *   protected void decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
 *                           {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
 *
 *     if (buf.readableBytes() < 4) {
 *        return;
 *     }
 *
 *     buf.markReaderIndex();
 *     int length = buf.readInt();
 *
 *     if (buf.readableBytes() < length) {
 *        buf.resetReaderIndex();
 *        return;
 *     }
 *
 *     out.add(buf.readBytes(length));
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* is simplified like the following with {@link ReplayingDecoder}: *
 * public class IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder
 *      extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<{@link Void}> {
 *
 *   protected void decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
 *                           {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
 *
 *     out.add(buf.readBytes(buf.readInt()));
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

How does this work?

*

* {@link ReplayingDecoder} passes a specialized {@link ByteBuf} * implementation which throws an {@link Error} of certain type when there's not * enough data in the buffer. In the {@code IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder} above, * you just assumed that there will be 4 or more bytes in the buffer when * you call {@code buf.readInt()}. If there's really 4 bytes in the buffer, * it will return the integer header as you expected. Otherwise, the * {@link Error} will be raised and the control will be returned to * {@link ReplayingDecoder}. If {@link ReplayingDecoder} catches the * {@link Error}, then it will rewind the {@code readerIndex} of the buffer * back to the 'initial' position (i.e. the beginning of the buffer) and call * the {@code decode(..)} method again when more data is received into the * buffer. *

* Please note that {@link ReplayingDecoder} always throws the same cached * {@link Error} instance to avoid the overhead of creating a new {@link Error} * and filling its stack trace for every throw. * *

Limitations

*

* At the cost of the simplicity, {@link ReplayingDecoder} enforces you a few * limitations: *

    *
  • Some buffer operations are prohibited.
  • *
  • Performance can be worse if the network is slow and the message * format is complicated unlike the example above. In this case, your * decoder might have to decode the same part of the message over and over * again.
  • *
  • You must keep in mind that {@code decode(..)} method can be called many * times to decode a single message. For example, the following code will * not work: *
     public class MyDecoder extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<{@link Void}> {
     *
     *   private final Queue<Integer> values = new LinkedList<Integer>();
     *
     *   {@code @Override}
     *   public void decode(.., {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
     *
     *     // A message contains 2 integers.
     *     values.offer(buf.readInt());
     *     values.offer(buf.readInt());
     *
     *     // This assertion will fail intermittently since values.offer()
     *     // can be called more than two times!
     *     assert values.size() == 2;
     *     out.add(values.poll() + values.poll());
     *   }
     * }
    * The correct implementation looks like the following, and you can also * utilize the 'checkpoint' feature which is explained in detail in the * next section. *
     public class MyDecoder extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<{@link Void}> {
     *
     *   private final Queue<Integer> values = new LinkedList<Integer>();
     *
     *   {@code @Override}
     *   public void decode(.., {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
     *
     *     // Revert the state of the variable that might have been changed
     *     // since the last partial decode.
     *     values.clear();
     *
     *     // A message contains 2 integers.
     *     values.offer(buf.readInt());
     *     values.offer(buf.readInt());
     *
     *     // Now we know this assertion will never fail.
     *     assert values.size() == 2;
     *     out.add(values.poll() + values.poll());
     *   }
     * }
    *

Improving the performance

*

* Fortunately, the performance of a complex decoder implementation can be * improved significantly with the {@code checkpoint()} method. The * {@code checkpoint()} method updates the 'initial' position of the buffer so * that {@link ReplayingDecoder} rewinds the {@code readerIndex} of the buffer * to the last position where you called the {@code checkpoint()} method. * *

Calling {@code checkpoint(T)} with an {@link Enum}

*

* Although you can just use {@code checkpoint()} method and manage the state * of the decoder by yourself, the easiest way to manage the state of the * decoder is to create an {@link Enum} type which represents the current state * of the decoder and to call {@code checkpoint(T)} method whenever the state * changes. You can have as many states as you want depending on the * complexity of the message you want to decode: * *

 * public enum MyDecoderState {
 *   READ_LENGTH,
 *   READ_CONTENT;
 * }
 *
 * public class IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder
 *      extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<MyDecoderState> {
 *
 *   private int length;
 *
 *   public IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder() {
 *     // Set the initial state.
 *     super(MyDecoderState.READ_LENGTH);
 *   }
 *
 *   {@code @Override}
 *   protected void decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
 *                           {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
 *     switch (state()) {
 *     case READ_LENGTH:
 *       length = buf.readInt();
 *       checkpoint(MyDecoderState.READ_CONTENT);
 *     case READ_CONTENT:
 *       ByteBuf frame = buf.readBytes(length);
 *       checkpoint(MyDecoderState.READ_LENGTH);
 *       out.add(frame);
 *       break;
 *     default:
 *       throw new Error("Shouldn't reach here.");
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

Calling {@code checkpoint()} with no parameter

*

* An alternative way to manage the decoder state is to manage it by yourself. *

 * public class IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder
 *      extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<{@link Void}> {
 *
 *   private boolean readLength;
 *   private int length;
 *
 *   {@code @Override}
 *   protected void decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
 *                           {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) throws Exception {
 *     if (!readLength) {
 *       length = buf.readInt();
 *       readLength = true;
 *       checkpoint();
 *     }
 *
 *     if (readLength) {
 *       ByteBuf frame = buf.readBytes(length);
 *       readLength = false;
 *       checkpoint();
 *       out.add(frame);
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

Replacing a decoder with another decoder in a pipeline

*

* If you are going to write a protocol multiplexer, you will probably want to * replace a {@link ReplayingDecoder} (protocol detector) with another * {@link ReplayingDecoder}, {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} or {@link MessageToMessageDecoder} * (actual protocol decoder). * It is not possible to achieve this simply by calling * {@link ChannelPipeline#replace(ChannelHandler, String, ChannelHandler)}, but * some additional steps are required: *

 * public class FirstDecoder extends {@link ReplayingDecoder}<{@link Void}> {
 *
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     protected void decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
 *                             {@link ByteBuf} buf, List<Object> out) {
 *         ...
 *         // Decode the first message
 *         Object firstMessage = ...;
 *
 *         // Add the second decoder
 *         ctx.pipeline().addLast("second", new SecondDecoder());
 *
 *         if (buf.isReadable()) {
 *             // Hand off the remaining data to the second decoder
 *             out.add(firstMessage);
 *             out.add(buf.readBytes(super.actualReadableBytes()));
 *         } else {
 *             // Nothing to hand off
 *             out.add(firstMessage);
 *         }
 *         // Remove the first decoder (me)
 *         ctx.pipeline().remove(this);
 *     }
 *
