Using Vert.x io_uring

To use Vert.x io_uring, add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your build descriptor:

  • Maven (in your pom.xml):

<dependency>
 <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
 <artifactId>vertx-io_uring-incubator</artifactId>
 <version>4.5.7</version>
</dependency>
  • Gradle (in your build.gradle file):

dependencies {
 compile 'io.vertx:vertx-io_uring-incubator:4.5.7'
}

Enable the native transport option when creating the Vertx instance:

Vertx vertx = Vertx.vertx(new VertxOptions().setPreferNativeTransport(true));

When enabled, the io_uring transport takes precedence over the JDK or epoll transports.
