XNIO Worker

An XNIO worker is the central point of coordination for a network application. A worker has two different types of thread pools:

  • I/O threads, which, in turn, come in two types:
    • Read threads that can handle callbacks for read events
    • Write threads that can handle callback for write events
  • Worker threads that are managed by a standard Executor-based thread pool.
