@nmittler - FYI.
 Great initiative.
 @Scottmitch good idea!  I'll start looking at this today.
 @nmittler - Thanks for taking care of this!
 @Scottmitch After playing with this a bit locally, I believe we can get rid of all of these with the exception of `isResetSent`.  We need to know if we sent RST_STREAM so that we ignore (and don't fail) frames coming in on that stream.  I should have a PR ready with a first cut of the changes shortly ... stay tuned.

nit: Auto format?
 I wanted to leave a comment on [line 233](https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3386/files#diff-179f52a9de82166ed577701a1412b5a0R233)...but too far from modifications.  If the stream state is HALF_CLOSED_REMOTE does it matter if we sent reset or not?  The remote side shouldn't be sending data if it has sent END_STREAM flag right?

[section 5.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-16#section-5.1):

> half closed (remote):
> ...
> If an endpoint receives additional frames for a stream that is in
>       this state, other than WINDOW_UPDATE, PRIORITY or RST_STREAM, it
>       MUST respond with a stream error (Section 5.4.2) of type
>       STREAM_CLOSED.
 @Scottmitch that's a good point.  We should always reset if receiving on HALF_CLOSED_REMOTE.  I'll make that change.

Related to this section of code ... should we always be applying flow control?  I suspect we should.
 Done.
 Yes we still want to count toward flow control for most instances.  Here are some relevant snippets from the spec:

[section 5.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-16#section-5.1):

> closed:
> ...
> Flow controlled frames (i.e., DATA) received after sending
>       RST_STREAM are counted toward the connection flow control window.
>       Even though these frames might be ignored, because they are sent
>       before the sender receives the RST_STREAM, the sender will
>       consider the frames to count against the flow control window.

[sectoin 5.4.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-16#section-5.4.2)

> A RST_STREAM is the last frame that an endpoint can send on a stream.
>    The peer that sends the RST_STREAM frame MUST be prepared to receive
>    any frames that were sent or enqueued for sending by the remote peer.
>    These frames can be ignored, except where they modify connection
>    state (such as the state maintained for header compression
>    (Section 4.3), or flow control).

[section 6.8](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-16#section-6.8)

> After sending a GOAWAY frame, the sender can discard frames for
>    streams with identifiers higher than the identified last stream.
>    However, any frames that alter connection state cannot be completely
>    ignored.  For instance, HEADERS, PUSH_PROMISE and CONTINUATION frames
>    MUST be minimally processed to ensure the state maintained for header
>    compression is consistent (see Section 4.3); similarly DATA frames
>    MUST be counted toward the connection flow control window.  Failure
>    to process these frames can cause flow control or header compression
>    state to become unsynchronized.
 Great, thanks for the references, @Scottmitch! ... that actually makes it simpler.  

Done.
 The semantic of shouldIgnoreFrame is that we don't want to propagate the frame to the application layer. Consider clarifying it's the variable name to something like 'notifyListeners'
 Do we need to notify the listener here when they can already listen to the stream for closure? Separate issue?
 @louiscryan - This is a good point.  However we should also consider that `ignore` is the terminology used in the HTTP/2 specification related to this context.
 @Scottmitch it looks like the only place we're using this is [InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter.java#L306).  Should this code be handling general stream closure rather than specifically listening for RST_STREAM?
 I think I'm leaning toward leaving the terminology as-is. The logic is not just around the listener call itself - there often is some minor state change involved, such as actually creating the stream upon receipt of HEADERS. So it does seem to be slightly more than `notifyListeners`. 
 @nmittler - IIRC the `InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter` is capturing this to see if there is an existing message, and if so just fire up the pipeline what we have received (because it is now "complete").  If by `handling general stream closure` you mean the `Http2Stream.Listener` interface then: yes `InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter` is already a listener but I'm not sure we can achieve the same result (because there is no `ctx`).  So it looks like we may end up dropping the messages (from the clients point of view) if we don't have this call.
 Ok, let's just keep things as-is for now then.
 Fair enough

Http2Stream state consolidation
Http2Stream has a few methods which represent state.  There is the [state()](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L46) method which should be checked according to the rules defined in the HTTP/2 spec.  There are also some other methods which represent state:
1. [isEndOfStreamReceived](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L83)
2. [isEndOfStreamSent](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L83)
3. [isResetReceived](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L106)
4. [isResetSent](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L117)
5. [isReset](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2Stream.java#L129)

We should investigate if these are called in the correct places, and if they are all required.  For example is `isEndOfStreamSent` necessary if we change the stream's state synchronously in the [writeData](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.java#L147) or [writeHeaders](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.java#L210) method?
