             Summary: Relax worker thread wakeup logic in StipedExecutor
                 Key: IGNITE-4766
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4766
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: general
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
            Assignee: Vladimir Ozerov
             Fix For: 2.0


*Problem*
Worker threads in {{StripedExecutor}} have {{parked}} state flag. When set to {{true}} NIO threads will call {{LockSupport.unpark}} after submitting new task to a queue.

The problem is that this flag is only changed by worker thread. Thus, if NIO worker submitted a new task and called {{unpark}}, worker will clean up {{parked}} state only after real wake up what may take microseconds. All subsequent submits from NIO thread occurred during this time will also invoke {{unpark}} thus generating high contention on the underlying OS primitives. Namely, condition variables which ultimately delegates to {{futex}} on Linux.

*Solution*
NIO threads must be able to clear {{parked}} state as well. Some CAS magic will be required there. This way we will minimize number of {{unapark}} calls.
