Fault Tolerance 6.9.2
Today, we announce the release of SmallRye Fault Tolerance 6.9.2. This release contains an important bugfix.
Since the 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 releases, Vert.x worker threads are treated as event loops as well.
In case of a worker thread execution from an event loop context, the event loop integration code used to use Context.executeBlocking() in an ordered fashion.
This may lead to a deadlock-like situation in case the original call also occurs in an ordered executeBlocking() situation, because:
-
the original handler that called a guarded method may wait for it to complete,
-
the newly scheduled handler comes after the original handler, so has to wait for it to complete.
In this release, the issue is fixed: the event loop integration code no longer requires ordering.
As usual, if you have any ideas for improvements, please file an issue!
