Ryan, I've did some other tests.
It seems that using a blocking queue in the FeedableBodyGenerator is
totally useless because the thread consuming it is not blocking and the
queue never blocks the feeding, which was my intention in the beginning.
Maybe it depends on the IO strategy used?
I use AHC default which seems to use SameThreadIOStrategy so I don't think
it's related to the IO strategy.
So in the end I can upload a 70m file with a heap of 50m, but I have to put
a Thread.sleep(30) between each 100k Buffer send to the
FeedableBodyGenerator
The connection with the server is not good here, but in production it is
normally a lot better as far as I know.
I've tried things
like clientTransport.getAsyncQueueIO().getWriter().setMaxPendingBytesPerConnection(100000);
but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I'd like the Grizzly internals to block when there are too much pending
bytes to send. Is it possible?
PS: I've just been able to send a 500mo file with 100mo heap, but it needed
a sleep of 100ms between each 100k Buffer sent to the bodygenerator
