Description

Add support for using the Netty Epoll transport when the platform supports it (x86-64 linux) and provide a transport configuration option to bypass it and return to using NIO. This change also switches the transport to using the default Netty allocator on the transports which by default is a pooled allocator.

To disable epoll use the URI can be updated to include option:

transport.useEpoll=false
