+/**
+ * Description of algorithm for PageRun/PoolSubpage allocation from PoolChunk
+ *
+ * Notation: The following terms are important to understand the code
+ * > page  - a page is the smallest unit of memory chunk that can be allocated
+ * > chunk - a chunk is a collection of pages
+ * > in this code chunkSize = 2^{maxOrder} * pageSize
+ *
+ * To begin we allocate a byte array of size = chunkSize
+ * Whenever a ByteBuf of given size needs to be created we search for the first position
+ * in the byte array that has enough empty space to accommodate the requested size and
+ * return a (long) handle that encodes this offset information, (this memory segment is then
+ * marked as reserved so it is always used by exactly one ByteBuf and no more)
+ *
+ * For simplicity all sizes are normalized according to PoolArena#normalizeCapacity method
+ * This ensures that when we request for memory segments of size >= pageSize the normalizedCapacity
+ * equals the next nearest power of 2
+ *
+ * To search for the first offset in chunk that has at least requested size available we construct a
+ * complete balanced binary tree and store it in an array (just like heaps) - memoryMap
+ *
+ * The tree looks like this (the size of each node being mentioned in the parenthesis)
+ *
+ * depth=0        1 node (chunkSize)
+ * depth=1        2 nodes (chunkSize/2)
+ * ..
+ * ..
+ * depth=d        2^d nodes (chunkSize/2^d)
+ * ..
+ * depth=maxOrder 2^maxOrder nodes (chunkSize/2^{maxOrder} = pageSize)
+ *
+ * depth=maxOrder is the last level and the leafs consist of pages
+ *
+ * With this tree available searching in chunkArray translates like this:
+ * To allocate a memory segment of size chunkSize/2^k we search for the first node (from left) at height k
+ * which is unused
+ *
+ * Algorithm:
+ * ----------
+ * Encode the tree in memoryMap with the notation
+ *   memoryMap[id] = x => in the subtree rooted at id, the first node that is free to be allocated
+ *   is at depth x (counted from depth=0) i.e., at depths [depth_of_id, x), there is no node that is free
+ *
+ *  As we allocate & free nodes, we update values stored in memoryMap so that the property is maintained
+ *
+ * Initialization -
+ *   In the beginning we construct the memoryMap array by storing the depth of a node at each node
+ *     i.e., memoryMap[id] = depth_of_id
+ *
+ * Observations:
+ * -------------
+ * 1) memoryMap[id] = depth_of_id  => it is free / unallocated
+ * 2) memoryMap[id] > depth_of_id  => at least one of its child nodes is allocated, so we cannot allocate it, but
+ *                                    some of its children can still be allocated based on their availability
+ * 3) memoryMap[id] = maxOrder + 1 => the node is fully allocated & thus none of its children can be allocated, it
+ *                                    is thus marked as unusable
+ *
+ * Algorithm: [allocateNode(d) => we want to find the first node (from left) at height h that can be allocated]
+ * ----------
+ * 1) start at root (i.e., depth = 0 or id = 1)
+ * 2) if memoryMap[1] > d => cannot be allocated from this chunk
+ * 3) if left node value <= h; we can allocate from left subtree so move to left and repeat until found
+ * 4) else try in right subtree
+ *
+ * Algorithm: [allocateRun(size)]
+ * ----------
+ * 1) Compute d = log_2(chunkSize/size)
+ * 2) Return allocateNode(d)
+ *
+ * Algorithm: [allocateSubpage(size)]
+ * ----------
+ * 1) use allocateNode(maxOrder) to find an empty (i.e., unused) leaf (i.e., page)
+ * 2) use this handle to construct the PoolSubpage object or if it already exists just call init(normCapacity)
+ *    note that this PoolSubpage object is added to subpagesPool in the PoolArena when we init() it
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * -----
+ * In the implementation for improving cache coherence,
+ * we store 2 pieces of information (i.e, 2 byte vals) as a short value in memoryMap
+ *
+ * memoryMap[id]= (depth_of_id, x)
+ * where as per convention defined above
+ * the second value (i.e, x) indicates that the first node which is free to be allocated is at depth x (from root)

+/**
+ * Creates a new {@link ByteBuf} by allocating new space or by wrapping
+ * or copying existing byte arrays, byte buffers and a string.
+ *
+ * <h3>Use static import</h3>
+ * This classes is intended to be used with Java 5 static import statement:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * import static game.net.buffer.{@link Unpooled}.*;
+ *
+ * {@link ByteBuf} heapBuffer    = buffer(128);
+ * {@link ByteBuf} directBuffer  = directBuffer(256);
+ * {@link ByteBuf} wrappedBuffer = wrappedBuffer(new byte[128], new byte[256]);
+ * {@link ByteBuf} copiedBuffe r = copiedBuffer({@link ByteBuffer}.allocate(128));
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h3>Allocating a new buffer</h3>
+ *
+ * Three buffer types are provided out of the box.
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link #buffer(int)} allocates a new fixed-capacity heap buffer.</li>
+ * <li>{@link #directBuffer(int)} allocates a new fixed-capacity direct buffer.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h3>Creating a wrapped buffer</h3>
+ *
+ * Wrapped buffer is a buffer which is a view of one or more existing
+ * byte arrays and byte buffers.  Any changes in the content of the original
+ * array or buffer will be visible in the wrapped buffer.  Various wrapper
+ * methods are provided and their name is all {@code wrappedBuffer()}.
+ * You might want to take a look at the methods that accept varargs closely if
+ * you want to create a buffer which is composed of more than one array to
+ * reduce the number of memory copy.
+ *
+ * <h3>Creating a copied buffer</h3>
+ *
+ * Copied buffer is a deep copy of one or more existing byte arrays, byte
+ * buffers or a string.  Unlike a wrapped buffer, there's no shared data
+ * between the original data and the copied buffer.  Various copy methods are
+ * provided and their name is all {@code copiedBuffer()}.  It is also convenient
+ * to use this operation to merge multiple buffers into one buffer.
+ *
+ * <h3>Miscellaneous utility methods</h3>
+ *
+ * This class also provides various utility methods to help implementation
+ * of a new buffer type, generation of hex dump and swapping an integer's
+ * byte order.

+ * <li>the I/O operations that the channel supports (e.g. read, write, connect, and bind), and</li>
+ * <li>the {@link ChannelPipeline} which handles all I/O events and requests
+ *     associated with the channel.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h3>All I/O operations are asynchronous.</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * All I/O operations in Netty are asynchronous.  It means any I/O calls will
+ * return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O operation has
+ * been completed at the end of the call.  Instead, you will be returned with
+ * a {@link ChannelFuture} instance which will notify you when the requested I/O
+ * operation has succeeded, failed, or canceled.
+ *
+ * <h3>Channels are hierarchical</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link Channel} can have a {@linkplain #parent() parent} depending on
+ * how it was created.  For instance, a {@link SocketChannel}, that was accepted
+ * by {@link ServerSocketChannel}, will return the {@link ServerSocketChannel}
+ * as its parent on {@link #parent()}.
+ * <p>
+ * The semantics of the hierarchical structure depends on the transport
+ * implementation where the {@link Channel} belongs to.  For example, you could
+ * write a new {@link Channel} implementation that creates the sub-channels that
+ * share one socket connection, as <a href="http://beepcore.org/">BEEP</a> and
+ * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell">SSH</a> do.
+ *
+ * <h3>Downcast to access transport-specific operations</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * Some transports exposes additional operations that is specific to the
+ * transport.  Down-cast the {@link Channel} to sub-type to invoke such
+ * operations.  For example, with the old I/O datagram transport, multicast
+ * join / leave operations are provided by {@link DatagramChannel}.
+ *
+ * <h3>Release resources</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * It is important to call {@link #close()} or {@link #close(ChannelPromise)} to release all
+ * resources once you are done with the {@link Channel}. This ensures all resources are
+ * released in a proper way, i.e. filehandles.

+/**
+ * The result of an asynchronous {@link Channel} I/O operation.
+ * <p>
+ * All I/O operations in Netty are asynchronous.  It means any I/O calls will
+ * return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O operation has
+ * been completed at the end of the call.  Instead, you will be returned with
+ * a {@link ChannelFuture} instance which gives you the information about the
+ * result or status of the I/O operation.
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link ChannelFuture} is either <em>uncompleted</em> or <em>completed</em>.
+ * When an I/O operation begins, a new future object is created.  The new future
+ * is uncompleted initially - it is neither succeeded, failed, nor cancelled
+ * because the I/O operation is not finished yet.  If the I/O operation is
+ * finished either successfully, with failure, or by cancellation, the future is
+ * marked as completed with more specific information, such as the cause of the
+ * failure.  Please note that even failure and cancellation belong to the
+ * completed state.

+ *
+ * Various methods are provided to let you check if the I/O operation has been
+ * completed, wait for the completion, and retrieve the result of the I/O
+ * operation. It also allows you to add {@link ChannelFutureListener}s so you
+ * can get notified when the I/O operation is completed.
+ *
+ * <h3>Prefer {@link #addListener(GenericFutureListener)} to {@link #await()}</h3>
+ *
+ * It is recommended to prefer {@link #addListener(GenericFutureListener)} to
+ * {@link #await()} wherever possible to get notified when an I/O operation is
+ * done and to do any follow-up tasks.
+ * <p>
+ * {@link #addListener(GenericFutureListener)} is non-blocking.  It simply adds
+ * the specified {@link ChannelFutureListener} to the {@link ChannelFuture}, and
+ * I/O thread will notify the listeners when the I/O operation associated with
+ * the future is done.  {@link ChannelFutureListener} yields the best
+ * performance and resource utilization because it does not block at all, but
+ * it could be tricky to implement a sequential logic if you are not used to
+ * event-driven programming.
+ * <p>
+ * By contrast, {@link #await()} is a blocking operation.  Once called, the
+ * caller thread blocks until the operation is done.  It is easier to implement
+ * a sequential logic with {@link #await()}, but the caller thread blocks
+ * unnecessarily until the I/O operation is done and there's relatively
+ * expensive cost of inter-thread notification.  Moreover, there's a chance of
+ * dead lock in a particular circumstance, which is described below.
+ *
+ * <h3>Do not call {@link #await()} inside {@link ChannelHandler}</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * The event handler methods in {@link ChannelHandler} is usually called by
+ * an I/O thread.  If {@link #await()} is called by an event handler
+ * method, which is called by the I/O thread, the I/O operation it is waiting
+ * for might never be complete because {@link #await()} can block the I/O
+ * operation it is waiting for, which is a dead lock.
+ * <pre>
+ * // BAD - NEVER DO THIS
+ * {@code @Override}
+ * public void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, GoodByeMessage msg) {
+ *     {@link ChannelFuture} future = ctx.channel().close();
+ *     future.awaitUninterruptibly();
+ *     // Perform post-closure operation
+ *     // ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * // GOOD
+ * {@code @Override}
+ * public void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,  GoodByeMessage msg) {
+ *     {@link ChannelFuture} future = ctx.channel().close();
+ *     future.addListener(new {@link ChannelFutureListener}() {
+ *         public void operationComplete({@link ChannelFuture} future) {
+ *             // Perform post-closure operation
+ *             // ...
+ *         }
+ *     });
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * In spite of the disadvantages mentioned above, there are certainly the cases
+ * where it is more convenient to call {@link #await()}. In such a case, please
+ * make sure you do not call {@link #await()} in an I/O thread.  Otherwise,
+ * {@link BlockingOperationException} will be raised to prevent a dead lock.
+ *
+ * <h3>Do not confuse I/O timeout and await timeout</h3>
+ *
+ * The timeout value you specify with {@link #await(long)},
+ * {@link #await(long, TimeUnit)}, {@link #awaitUninterruptibly(long)}, or
+ * {@link #awaitUninterruptibly(long, TimeUnit)} are not related with I/O
+ * timeout at all.  If an I/O operation times out, the future will be marked as
+ * 'completed with failure,' as depicted in the diagram above.  For example,
+ * connect timeout should be configured via a transport-specific option:
+ * <pre>
+ * // BAD - NEVER DO THIS
+ * {@link Bootstrap} b = ...;
+ * {@link ChannelFuture} f = b.connect(...);
+ * f.awaitUninterruptibly(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
+ * if (f.isCancelled()) {
+ *     // Connection attempt cancelled by user
+ * } else if (!f.isSuccess()) {
+ *     // You might get a NullPointerException here because the future
+ *     // might not be completed yet.
+ *     f.cause().printStackTrace();
+ * } else {
+ *     // Connection established successfully
+ * }
+ *
+ * // GOOD
+ * {@link Bootstrap} b = ...;
+ * // Configure the connect timeout option.
+ * <b>b.option({@link ChannelOption}.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS, 10000);</b>
+ * {@link ChannelFuture} f = b.connect(...);
+ * f.awaitUninterruptibly();
+ *
+ * // Now we are sure the future is completed.
+ * assert f.isDone();
+ *
+ * if (f.isCancelled()) {
+ *     // Connection attempt cancelled by user
+ * } else if (!f.isSuccess()) {
+ *     f.cause().printStackTrace();
+ * } else {
+ *     // Connection established successfully
+ * }

+/**
+ * Handles or intercepts a {@link ChannelInboundInvoker} or {@link ChannelOutboundInvoker} operation, and forwards it
+ * to the next handler in a {@link ChannelPipeline}.
+ *
+ * <h3>Sub-types</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * {@link ChannelHandler} itself does not provide many methods.  To handle a
+ * a {@link ChannelInboundInvoker} or {@link ChannelOutboundInvoker} operation
+ * you need to implement its sub-interfaces.  There are many different sub-interfaces
+ * which handles inbound and outbound operations.
+ *
+ * But the most useful for developers may be:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter} handles and intercepts inbound operations</li>
+ * <li>{@link ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter} handles and intercepts outbound operations</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * You will also find more detailed explanation from the documentation of
+ * each sub-interface on how an event is interpreted when it goes upstream and
+ * downstream respectively.
+ *
+ * <h3>The context object</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link ChannelHandler} is provided with a {@link ChannelHandlerContext}
+ * object.  A {@link ChannelHandler} is supposed to interact with the
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} it belongs to via a context object.  Using the
+ * context object, the {@link ChannelHandler} can pass events upstream or
+ * downstream, modify the pipeline dynamically, or store the information
+ *  (using {@link AttributeKey}s) which is specific to the handler.
+ *
+ * <h3>State management</h3>
+ *
+ * A {@link ChannelHandler} often needs to store some stateful information.
+ * The simplest and recommended approach is to use member variables:
+ * <pre>
+ * public interface Message {
+ *     // your methods here
+ * }
+ *
+ * public class DataServerHandler extends {@link SimpleChannelInboundHandler}&lt;Message&gt; {
+ *
+ *     <b>private boolean loggedIn;</b>
+ *
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void channelRead0({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, Message message) {
+ *         {@link Channel} ch = e.getChannel();
+ *         if (message instanceof LoginMessage) {
+ *             authenticate((LoginMessage) message);
+ *             <b>loggedIn = true;</b>
+ *         } else (message instanceof GetDataMessage) {
+ *             if (<b>loggedIn</b>) {
+ *                 ch.write(fetchSecret((GetDataMessage) message));
+ *             } else {
+ *                 fail();
+ *             }
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *     ...
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * Because the handler instance has a state variable which is dedicated to
+ * one connection, you have to create a new handler instance for each new
+ * channel to avoid a race condition where a unauthenticated client can get
+ * the confidential information:
+ * <pre>
+ * // Create a new handler instance per channel.
+ * // See {@link ChannelInitializer#initChannel(Channel)}.
+ * public class DataServerInitializer extends {@link ChannelInitializer}&lt{@link Channel}&gt {
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void initChannel({@link Channel} channel) {
+ *         channel.pipeline().addLast("handler", <b>new DataServerHandler()</b>);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ *
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h4>Using {@link AttributeKey}</h4>
+ *
+ * Although it's recommended to use member variables to store the state of a
+ * handler, for some reason you might not want to create many handler instances.
+ * In such a case, you can use {@link AttributeKey}s which is provided by
+ * {@link ChannelHandlerContext}:
+ * <pre>
+ * public interface Message {
+ *     // your methods here
+ * }
+ *
+ * {@code @Sharable}
+ * public class DataServerHandler extends {@link SimpleChannelInboundHandler}&lt;Message&gt; {
+ *     private final {@link AttributeKey}&lt{@link Boolean}&gt auth =
+ *           {@link AttributeKey#valueOf(String) AttributeKey.valueOf("auth")};
+ *
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, Message message) {
+ *         {@link Attribute}&lt{@link Boolean}&gt attr = ctx.attr(auth);
+ *         {@link Channel} ch = ctx.channel();
+ *         if (message instanceof LoginMessage) {
+ *             authenticate((LoginMessage) o);
+ *             <b>attr.set(true)</b>;
+ *         } else (message instanceof GetDataMessage) {
+ *             if (<b>Boolean.TRUE.equals(attr.get())</b>) {
+ *                 ch.write(fetchSecret((GetDataMessage) o));
+ *             } else {
+ *                 fail();
+ *             }
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *     ...
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * Now that the state of the handler isattached to the {@link ChannelHandlerContext}, you can add the
+ * same handler instance to different pipelines:
+ * <pre>
+ * public class DataServerInitializer extends {@link ChannelInitializer}&lt{@link Channel}&gt {
+ *
+ *     private static final DataServerHandler <b>SHARED</b> = new DataServerHandler();
+ *
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void initChannel({@link Channel} channel) {
+ *         channel.pipeline().addLast("handler", <b>SHARED</b>);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ *
+ * <h4>The {@code @Sharable} annotation</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * In the example above which used an {@link AttributeKey},
+ * you might have noticed the {@code @Sharable} annotation.
+ * <p>
+ * If a {@link ChannelHandler} is annotated with the {@code @Sharable}
+ * annotation, it means you can create an instance of the handler just once and
+ * add it to one or more {@link ChannelPipeline}s multiple times without
+ * a race condition.
+ * <p>
+ * If this annotation is not specified, you have to create a new handler
+ * instance every time you add it to a pipeline because it has unshared state
+ * such as member variables.
+ * <p>
+ * This annotation is provided for documentation purpose, just like
+ * <a href="http://www.javaconcurrencyinpractice.com/annotations/doc/">the JCIP annotations</a>.
+ *
+ * <h3>Additional resources worth reading</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * Please refer to the {@link ChannelHandler}, and
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} to find out more about inbound and outbound operations,
+ * what fundamental differences they have, how they flow in a  pipeline,  and how to handle
+ * the operation in your application.

+/**
+ * Enables a {@link ChannelHandler} to interact with its {@link ChannelPipeline}
+ * and other handlers.  A handler can notify the next {@link ChannelHandler} in the {@link ChannelPipeline},
+ * modify the {@link ChannelPipeline} it belongs to dynamically.
+ *
+ * <h3>Notify</h3>
+ *
+ * You can notify the closest handler in the
+ * same {@link ChannelPipeline} by calling one of the various methods provided here.
+ * Please refer to {@link ChannelPipeline} to understand how an event flows.
+ *
+ * <h3>Modifying a pipeline</h3>
+ *
+ * You can get the {@link ChannelPipeline} your handler belongs to by calling
+ * {@link #pipeline()}.  A non-trivial application could insert, remove, or
+ * replace handlers in the pipeline dynamically at runtime.
+ *
+ * <h3>Retrieving for later use</h3>
+ *
+ * You can keep the {@link ChannelHandlerContext} for later use, such as
+ * triggering an event outside the handler methods, even from a different thread.
+ * <pre>
+ * public class MyHandler extends {@link ChannelDuplexHandler} {
+ *
+ *     <b>private {@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx;</b>
+ *
+ *     public void beforeAdd({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx) {

+ *         ctx.write(new LoginMessage(username, password));
+ *     }
+ *     ...
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h3>Storing stateful information</h3>
+ *
+ * {@link #attr(AttributeKey)} allow you to
+ * store and access stateful information that is related with a handler and its
+ * context.  Please refer to {@link ChannelHandler} to learn various recommended
+ * ways to manage stateful information.
+ *
+ * <h3>A handler can have more than one context</h3>
+ *
+ * Please note that a {@link ChannelHandler} instance can be added to more than
+ * one {@link ChannelPipeline}.  It means a single {@link ChannelHandler}
+ * instance can have more than one {@link ChannelHandlerContext} and therefore
+ * the single instance can be invoked with different
+ * {@link ChannelHandlerContext}s if it is added to one or more
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline}s more than once.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, the following handler will have as many independent {@link AttributeKey}s
+ * as how many times it is added to pipelines, regardless if it is added to the
+ * same pipeline multiple times or added to different pipelines multiple times:
+ * <pre>
+ * public class FactorialHandler extends {@link ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter}&lt{@link Integer}&gt {
+ *
+ *   private final {@link AttributeKey}&lt{@link Integer}&gt counter =
+ *           new {@link AttributeKey}&lt{@link Integer}&gt("counter");
+ *
+ *   // This handler will receive a sequence of increasing integers starting
+ *   // from 1.
+ *   {@code @Override}
+ *   public void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link Integer} integer) {
+ *     {@link Attribute}&lt{@link Integer}&gt attr = ctx.getAttr(counter);
+ *     Integer a = ctx.getAttr(counter).get();
+ *
+ *     if (a == null) {
+ *       a = 1;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     attr.set(a * integer));
+ *   }
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Different context objects are given to "f1", "f2", "f3", and "f4" even if
+ * // they refer to the same handler instance.  Because the FactorialHandler
+ * // stores its state in a context object (as an (using an {@link AttributeKey}), the factorial is
+ * // calculated correctly 4 times once the two pipelines (p1 and p2) are active.
+ * FactorialHandler fh = new FactorialHandler();
+ *
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} p1 = {@link Channels}.pipeline();
+ * p1.addLast("f1", fh);
+ * p1.addLast("f2", fh);
+ *
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} p2 = {@link Channels}.pipeline();
+ * p2.addLast("f3", fh);

+ * A list of {@link ChannelHandler}s which handles or intercepts inbound events and outbound operations of a

+ * Each channel has its own pipeline and it is created automatically when a new channel is created.
+ *
+ * <h3>How an event flows in a pipeline</h3>
+ *
+ * The following diagram describes how I/O events are processed by {@link ChannelHandler}s in a {@link ChannelPipeline}
+ * typically. An I/O event is handled by either a {@link ChannelInboundHandler} or a {@link ChannelOutboundHandler}
+ * and be forwarded to its closest handler by calling the event propagation methods defined in
+ * {@link ChannelHandlerContext}, such as {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRead(Object)} and
+ * {@link ChannelHandlerContext#write(Object)}.

+ * </pre>
+ * An inbound event is handled by the inbound handlers in the bottom-up direction as shown on the left side of the
+ * diagram.  An inbound handler usually handles the inbound data generated by the I/O thread on the bottom of the
+ * diagram.  The inbound data is often read from a remote peer via the actual input operation such as
+ * {@link SocketChannel#read(ByteBuffer)}.  If an inbound event goes beyond the top inbound handler, it is discarded
+ * silently, or logged if it needs your attention.
+ * <p>
+ * An outbound event is handled by the outbound handler in the top-down direction as shown on the right side of the
+ * diagram.  An outbound handler usually generates or transforms the outbound traffic such as write requests.
+ * If an outbound event goes beyond the bottom outbound handler, it is handled by an I/O thread associated with the
+ * {@link Channel}. The I/O thread often performs the actual output operation such as
+ * {@link SocketChannel#write(ByteBuffer)}.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, let us assume that we created the following pipeline:
+ * <pre>
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} p = ...;
+ * p.addLast("1", new InboundHandlerA());
+ * p.addLast("2", new InboundHandlerB());
+ * p.addLast("3", new OutboundHandlerA());
+ * p.addLast("4", new OutboundHandlerB());
+ * p.addLast("5", new InboundOutboundHandlerX());
+ * </pre>
+ * In the example above, the class whose name starts with {@code Inbound} means it is an inbound handler.
+ * The class whose name starts with {@code Outbound} means it is a outbound handler.
+ * <p>
+ * In the given example configuration, the handler evaluation order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 when an event goes inbound.
+ * When an event goes outbound, the order is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.  On top of this principle, {@link ChannelPipeline} skips
+ * the evaluation of certain handlers to shorten the stack depth:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>3 and 4 don't implement {@link ChannelInboundHandler}, and therefore the actual evaluation order of an inbound
+ *     event will be: 1, 2, and 5.</li>
+ * <li>1 and 2 don't implement {@link ChannelOutboundHandler}, and therefore the actual evaluation order of a
+ *     outbound event will be: 5, 4, and 3.</li>
+ * <li>If 5 implements both {@link ChannelInboundHandler} and {@link ChannelOutboundHandler}, the evaluation order of
+ *     an inbound and a outbound event could be 125 and 543 respectively.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h3>Forwarding an event to the next handler</h3>
+ *
+ * As you might noticed in the diagram shows, a handler has to invoke the event propagation methods in
+ * {@link ChannelHandlerContext} to forward an event to its next handler.  Those methods include:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Inbound event propagation methods:
+ *     <ul>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRegistered()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelActive()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRead(Object)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireExceptionCaught(Throwable)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireUserEventTriggered(Object)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelWritabilityChanged()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelInactive()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelUnregistered()}</li>
+ *     </ul>
+ * </li>
+ * <li>Outbound event propagation methods:
+ *     <ul>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#bind(SocketAddress, ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#connect(SocketAddress, SocketAddress, ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#write(Object, ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#flush()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#read()}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#disconnect(ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#close(ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ChannelHandlerContext#deregister(ChannelPromise)}</li>
+ *     </ul>
+ * </li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * and the following example shows how the event propagation is usually done:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * public class MyInboundHandler extends {@link ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter} {
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void channelActive({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx) {
+ *         System.out.println("Connected!");
+ *         ctx.fireChannelActive();
+ *     }
+ * }
+ *
+ * public clas MyOutboundHandler extends {@link ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter} {
+ *     {@code @Override}
+ *     public void close({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link ChannelPromise} promise) {
+ *         System.out.println("Closing ..");
+ *         ctx.close(promise);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h3>Building a pipeline</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * A user is supposed to have one or more {@link ChannelHandler}s in a pipeline to receive I/O events (e.g. read) and
+ * to request I/O operations (e.g. write and close).  For example, a typical server will have the following handlers
+ * in each channel's pipeline, but your mileage may vary depending on the complexity and characteristics of the
+ * protocol and business logic:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>Protocol Decoder - translates binary data (e.g. {@link ByteBuf}) into a Java object.</li>
+ * <li>Protocol Encoder - translates a Java object into binary data.</li>
+ * <li>Business Logic Handler - performs the actual business logic (e.g. database access).</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * and it could be represented as shown in the following example:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * static final {@link EventExecutorGroup} group = new {@link DefaultEventExecutorGroup}(16);
+ * ...
+ *
+ * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ch.pipeline();
+ *
+ * pipeline.addLast("decoder", new MyProtocolDecoder());
+ * pipeline.addLast("encoder", new MyProtocolEncoder());
+ *
+ * // Tell the pipeline to run MyBusinessLogicHandler's event handler methods
+ * // in a different thread than an I/O thread so that the I/O thread is not blocked by
+ * // a time-consuming task.
+ * // If your business logic is fully asynchronous or finished very quickly, you don't
+ * // need to specify a group.
+ * pipeline.addLast(group, "handler", new MyBusinessLogicHandler());
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h3>Thread safety</h3>
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link ChannelHandler} can be added or removed at any time because a {@link ChannelPipeline} is thread safe.
+ * For example, you can insert an encryption handler when sensitive information is about to be exchanged, and remove it
+ * after the exchange.
