    connections.

 *  Fix: Immediately update the connection's flow control window instead of waiting for the
    receiving stream to process it.

    This change may increase OkHttp's memory use for applications that make many concurrent HTTP
    calls and that can receive data faster than they can process it. Previously, OkHttp limited
    HTTP/2 to 16 MiB of unacknowledged data per connection. With this fix there is a limit of 16 MiB

    This helps prevent "split brain" scenarios in clustered applications by

    "fencing" operation has provided one of the above indications.

- Automatically copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the entire API surface of the Node object to otherwise unprivileged...

This helps performance in a variety of use-cases, including network latency sensitive applications, as well as applications that benefit from CPU cache residency.  Next, [Huge Pages](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-hugepages/scheduling-hugepages/), which allows pods to consume either 2Mi or 1Gi Huge Pages.  This benefits applications that consume large amounts of memory.  Use of Huge Pages is a common tuning recommendation for databases and JVMs.  Finally,...

#### Application's calling thread

The application-layer must block on writing I/O. We can't return from a write until we've pushed its bytes onto the socket. Otherwise, if the write fails we are unable to deliver its IOException to the application. We would have told the application layer that the write succeeded, but it didn't!
