21.3.0

Breaking API Changes

  • com.twitter.server.util.JsonConverter is divided into two Json mappers, JsonConverter and AdminJsonConverter. JsonConverter keeps the minimum configuration, for json mapping to/from twitter-server admin endpoints, AdminJsonConverter is configured to do so. PHAB_ID=D634550

Runtime Behavior Changes

21.2.0

  • Change Metrics Metadata histogram buckets field to be an object mapping from names (min, max, etc) and percentiles to the suffix for the metric name representing that portion of the histogram. Bump the endpoint’s version number to 3.0. PHAB_ID=D627870

21.1.0

  • Add separator_char field to the top level of the Metrics Metadata endpoint and bump the endpoints version number to 2.1. PHAB_ID=D591106

20.12.0

  • Escape user-provided string from the returned text. This removes a potential vector for an XSS attack. PHAB_ID=D574844

20.10.0

No Changes

20.9.0

No Changes

  • Bump version of Jackson to 2.11.2. PHAB_ID=D538440

20.8.1

  • Check SecurityManager permissions in the ContentHandler to ensure that contention snapshotting is allowed. PHAB_ID=D531873

20.8.0 (DO NOT USE)

No Changes

20.7.0

Breaking API Changes

  • Make Lifecycle and Lifecycle.Warmup self-typed to TwitterServer. Lifecycle was previously self-typed to c.t.app.App and Lifecycle.Warmup previously had no self-type restrictions. These traits can now only be mixed into instances of TwitterServer. The Lifecycle.DetatchedWarmup trait is introduced to allow users to transition to it, where they were previously extending Lifecycle.Warmup without mixing into a TwitterServer. Lifecycle.DetatchedWarmup is immediately deprecated and will be removed in a future release. PHAB_ID=D507392

20.6.0

No Changes

20.5.0

  • Make lookup of Admin LoggingHandler more resilient when multiple implementations are detected. Now instead of perhaps using an incorrect handler the server will instead emit a lint rule violation and not attempt to install a logging handler ensuring that only when a single LoggingHandler is located that the functionality is enabled. PHAB_ID=D484965

Runtime Behavior Changes

  • Bump jackson version to 2.11.0. PHAB_ID=D457496

20.4.1

19.12.0

  • Upgrade to jackson 2.9.10 and jackson-databind 2.9.10.1 PHAB_ID=D410846

  • Multiple changes have happened around query parameter retrieval in order to remove duplicated functionality from Twitter Server that exists in Finagle. Users are encouraged to use finagle-http’s Uri class within their own code to retrieve params. PHAB_ID=D398387 * The parse method of HttpUtils has been removed. * The protected getParams method of TwitterHandler has been removed. * The signature of the getGraceParam method of ShutdownHandler has

    been changed to take a Request.

  • Add a disableAdminHttpServer property to the AdminHttpServer that can be used to prevent the AdminHttpServer from starting by default on a TwitterServer. PHAB_ID=D397925

  • The ResourceHandler companion object is no longer a JavaSingleton. PHAB_ID=D399947

  • Update ScalaTest to 3.0.8, and ScalaCheck to 1.14.0. PHAB_ID=D408331

19.11.0

  • Add initial support for JDK 11 compatibility. PHAB_ID=D365075
  • The endpoints section of the clients page has been fixed to no longer render an incorrect html line break tag. PHAB_ID=D391907

19.10.0

No Changes

19.9.0

  • Changed com.twitter.server.AdminHttpServer.routes from a setter to getter, use it to get all admin http server Routes. Use com.twitter.server.AdminHttpServer.addAdminRoute to add a Route and com.twitter.server.AdminHttpServer.addAdminRoutes to add many Routes. PHAB_ID=D354013

19.5.1

No Changes

19.5.0

Changes

  • Add DuplicateFlagDefinitions lint rule which is violated when multiple Flags with the same name are added to the underlying com.twitter.app.App#flag com.twitter.app.Flags instance. PHAB_ID=D314410

19.4.0

Changes

  • Remove deprecated uses of c.t.server.ShadowAdminServer. PHAB_ID=D269149

  • Mix in the c.t.finagle.DtabFlags to allow servers to append to the “base” c.t.finagle.Dtab delegation table. Users can now call c.t.finagle.DtabFlags#addDtabs() when they want to append the parsed Flag value to the Dtab.base delegation table. Users should note to only call this method _after_ Flag parsing has occurred (which is after init and before premain).

    We also update the c.t.server.handler.DtabHandler to always return a proper JSON response of the currently configured c.t.finagle.Dtab.base. PHAB_ID=D297596

19.3.0

  • Change the /admin/histograms?h=…-style endpoints to return data in the same style as /admin/histograms.json. This should make it easier to use tools to parse data from either endpoint. PHAB_ID=D279779

19.2.0

No Changes

19.1.0

  • Propagate the admin server’s shutdown to the handlers that are registered with the admin server. PHAB_ID=D254656

18.12.0

No Changes

18.11.0

No Changes

18.10.0

Changes

  • Deprecate c.t.server.AdminHttpServer#routes. Routes should be added to the AdminHttpServer via c.t.server.AdminHttpServer#addAdminRoutes. PHAB_ID=D230247

Runtime Behavior Changes

  • Update BuildProperties to not emit a warning when no build.properties file can be located. PHAB_ID=D229586

18.9.1

No Changes

18.9.0

Runtime Behavior Changes

  • Move logic to parse the server build.properties file out the c.t.server.handler.ServerInfoHandler and into a utility object, c.t.server.BuildProperties to allow for accessing by other server logic such that the properties do not need to be re-parsed anytime access is desired. Failure to load the properties can result in the server not starting in the case of a Fatal exception being thrown. PHAB_ID=D201207
  • Update TwitterServer trait to override the inherited ShutdownTimer to be the Finagle DefaultTimer instead of the c.t.util.JavaTimer defined by default in c.t.app.App. Also update the overridden suppressGracefulShutdownErrors in TwitterServer to be a val since it is constant (instead of a def). PHAB_ID=D212896

18.8.0

New Features

  • Add onExit lifecycle callback to c.t.server.Hook (which is now an abstract class) to allow implemented hooks to execute functions in the App#onExit lifecycle phase. Note: c.t.server.Hook#premain now has a default implementation and requires the override modifier. PHAB_ID=D198379

18.7.0

No Changes

18.6.0

New Features

  • Added an admin page at “/admin/balancers.json” with details about client load balancers, including both configuration and current status. PHAB_ID=D171589

18.5.0

Runtime Behavior Changes

  • Overloaded c.t.server.AdminHttpServer#isolate to accept a Service[Request, Response]. PHAB_ID=D157891

18.4.0

No Changes

18.3.0

No Changes

18.2.0

Dependencies

  • Removed ‘finagle-zipkin-core’ as a depdendency since there was no code in twitter-server which used it. PHAB_ID=D129515

18.1.0

No Changes

17.12.0

Bug Fixes

  • Treat io.netty.channel.epoll.Native.epollWait0 as an idle thread on “/admin/threads”. This method is observed when using Netty 4’s native transport. PHAB_ID=D115058

17.11.0

Breaking API Changes

  • Change to apply JUL log format in the c.t.server.logging.Logging trait constructor instead of in premain to apply format as early in the logging stack as possible. However, this means that users overriding the def defaultFormatter will not be able to use any flags to configure their formatting, note: the default LogFormatter does not use flags. PHAB_ID=D106534

17.10.0

Release Version Format

  • From now on, release versions will be based on release date in the format of YY.MM.x where x is a patch number. PHAB_ID=D101244

1.12.0

  • Enable syntax highlighting in the docs

1.11.0

New Features

  • Introduce AbstractTwitterServer, a Java-friendly version of TwitterServer. RB_ID=661878

1.10.0

New Features

  • TwitterServer collects a statically allocated ring of runtime events, which be viewed at /admin/events, and downloaded as JSON with a HTTP client like curl (or by simply omitting the User-Agent header in the request).
  • TwitterServer exports runtime configuration data about your service, which can be downloaded as json at /admin/registry.json.

Dependencies

  • Bumped many dependency versions.

1.9.0

New Features

  • Most noticeably, the admin server received a complete UI redesign. All http endpoints are now available via a navigation pane. We provide a simple API for service owners to include ad-hoc admin pages which will be part of the navigation pane. Note, it is still possible to join the admin server’s namespace via the global com.twitter.finagle.http.HttpMuxer.
  • When using the twitter Metrics library, the admin server now scrapes your stats to extract a quick summary of how your server is performing. This includes secondly success rates for your server and least performant downstreams. We provide a /admin/metrics endpoint which can watch stats (at secondly granularity) and extract them via http queries.
  • More recently, Finagle clients and servers began to retain information about their composition. This is useful in examining the modules and parameters that comprise a specific implementation. We now surface this information in the admin server via /admin/clients/<client_name> and /admin/servers/<server_name>
  • TwitterServer now exposes a /admin/registry.json endpoint, which speaks json and exposes the values from util-registry as labels. Most labels are long-lived, and tend to represent something about a process that is true for the entire lifetime, like the version of a library, or what a flag was set to.

Dependencies

  • Remove dependency on mustache for admin server in favor of templating via string interpolation. This is more hygienic for web applications and frameworks built atop twitter-server.

1.8.0

New Features
