HTTP轮询模型
长短轮询
http协议是一种client-server模型的应用层协议，这种c-s的模式虽然大多数情况都能满足需求，但是某些场景也需要服务端能够将一些信息实时的推送到客户端，即实现服务器向客户端推消息的功能。
比如：
配置管理中心服务端需要将更新的配置推送到client端
消息推送服务器需要将一些消息推送到Android、iOS客户端
利用Http协议实现服务器推送有两种常见的思路：
短轮询拉
客户端不停的去向服务器发送轮询请求，如果有数据更新，客户端能也能尽快(取决于轮询间隔)获取最新的数据，这种方式被称为Http短轮询。
这种方式有如下缺点：
因为是短轮询，因此一定时间t内需要进行轮询的次数就更多，而Http的连接是需要tcp三次握手等资源开销的。
由图可以看出，但是服务端数据发生更新时，客户端并不是立刻收到更新的数据(除去网络传输仍然还需要时间)，而只能是在下一次轮询的时候才能感知到数据的变更。
长轮询推
长轮询的思路是这样的：尽量减少轮询的次数，从而减少资源开销。为了减少轮询次数，那么每次轮询的时间跨度就需要比较长，因此成为长轮询，同时也希望长轮询模型的每一次轮询效率要高于短轮询。
长轮询模型有这么几个特征：
每次轮询的间隔不固定
服务器对每次轮询做出响应的条件是：超时或者数据更新
长轮询模型中，客户端能实时感知到服务器端数据更新
由于很多服务器都具有异步处理连接的能力，因此图中的阻塞消耗的资源比较小。
异步Servlet
下面是利用Servlet规范中提供的异步Servlet作为服务端的Http长轮询模型，实现了客户端能实时获取服务端某个配置文件内容。
异步Servlet是Servlet3.0出来的新特性，对于需要异步处理的连接，Servlet引擎会将处理该请求的工作线程回收进工作线程池，而不是阻塞在该请求上。
