Descriptions

Objective: Implement a robust graceful shutdown mechanism for the HTTP/3 server connection handler using Netty's HTTP/3 incubator codec, focusing on leveraging the control stream for ping-pong and graceful shutdown (GOAWAY) logic.

Please refer to org.apache.dubbo.rpc.protocol.tri.transport.TripleServerConnectionHandler.

Key Requirements:

1. Control Stream Utilization

   • Utilize io.netty.incubator.codec.http3.Http3.getLocalControlStream() as the primary mechanism for managing connection state and initiating graceful shutdown.
   • Implement a bidirectional ping-pong mechanism to verify connection health and readiness for shutdown.

2. Ping-Pong Mechanism

   • Develop a lightweight ping-pong protocol on the control stream to: a) Validate active connections b) Detect connection responsiveness c) Prepare for graceful termination
   • Create a configurable ping interval and timeout strategy
   • Handle scenarios where ping responses are delayed or missing

3. Graceful Shutdown (GOAWAY) Workflow

   • Design a GOAWAY process that: a) Stops accepting new requests b) Allows existing in-flight requests to complete c) Provides a configurable grace period for request completion
   • Implement a systematic shutdown sequence using control stream signaling
   • Ensure all active streams are properly closed or terminated

4. Error Handling and Resilience

   • Implement comprehensive error handling for control stream operations
   • Provide logging and metrics for shutdown-related events
   • Handle potential network interruptions during the shutdown process
