/**
* A {@link ClientSocketChannelFactory} which creates a client-side NIO-based
* {@link SocketChannel}. It utilizes the non-blocking I/O mode which was
* introduced with NIO to serve many number of concurrent connections
* efficiently.
*
* <h3>How threads work</h3>
* <p>
* There are two types of threads in a {@link NioClientSocketChannelFactory};
* one is boss thread and the other is worker thread.
*
* <h4>Boss thread</h4>
* <p>
* One {@link NioClientSocketChannelFactory} has one boss thread. It makes
* a connection attempt on request. Once a connection attempt succeeds,
* the boss thread passes the connected {@link Channel} to one of the worker
* threads that the {@link NioClientSocketChannelFactory} manages.
*
* <h4>Worker threads</h4>
* <p>
* One {@link NioClientSocketChannelFactory} can have one or more worker
* threads. A worker thread performs non-blocking read and write for one or
* more {@link Channel}s in a non-blocking mode.
*
* <h3>Life cycle of threads and graceful shutdown</h3>
* <p>
* All threads are acquired from the {@link Executor}s which were specified
* when a {@link NioClientSocketChannelFactory} was created. A boss thread is
* acquired from the {@code bossExecutor}, and worker threads are acquired from
* the {@code workerExecutor}. Therefore, you should make sure the specified
* {@link Executor}s are able to lend the sufficient number of threads.
* It is the best bet to specify {@linkplain Executors#newCachedThreadPool() a cached thread pool}.
* <p>
* Both boss and worker threads are acquired lazily, and then released when
* there's nothing left to process. All the related resources such as
* {@link Selector} are also released when the boss and worker threads are
* released. Therefore, to shut down a service gracefully, you should do the
* following:
*
* <ol>
* <li>close all channels created by the factory usually using
* {@link ChannelGroup#close()}, and</li>
* <li>call {@link #releaseExternalResources()}.</li>
* </ol>
*
* Please make sure not to shut down the executor until all channels are
* closed. Otherwise, you will end up with a {@link RejectedExecutionException}
* and the related resources might not be released properly.
