Make a channel group with a given name.

Constructs an instance of a Netty ChannelInitializer from a list of names and expressions which return handlers. Handlers with :shared metadata on their names are bound once and re-used in every invocation of getPipeline(), other handlers will be evaluated each time.

A decoder that turns DatagramPackets into ByteBufs.

Decode a protobuf to a message. Decodes the protocol buffer representation of Msg and applies post-load-event to all events.

A simple wrapper for a netty future which on deref just calls (syncUninterruptibly f), and returns the future’s result.

Creates a new netty execution handler for processing events. Defaults to 1 thread per core.

Handles a msg with the given handler.

There’s a bug in JDK 6, 7, and 8 which can cause a deadlock initializing sse-server and netty concurrently; we serialize them with this lock. https://github.com/riemann/riemann/issues/617

Netty decoder for Msg protobuf objects -> maps

Netty encoder for maps -> Msg protobuf objects

After events are loaded, we assign default times if none exist.

Decodes protobufs to Msg objects

Encodes protobufs to Msg objects

Retain a ReferenceCounted object, if x is such an object. Otherwise, noop. Returns x.

Gracefully shut down an event executor group. Returns a derefable future.
