Looks like you are using dropwizard + jersey + com.vnera.restapilayer + commons-fileupload to handle your file upload.
Your setup isn't using Jetty for multipart/form-data upload in the way you think.
First, don't use commons-fileupload, that's for Servlet 2.4 (and older) environments.
Support for multipart/form-data parsing is built into the Servlet spec as HttpServletRequest.getParts() and getPart(name) since Servlet 3.0
If your code, or ANY of its Filters or 3rd party libraries uses any one of the HttpServletRequest.getParameter*() methods before your attempt at using commons-fileupload then your code will not work and fail.
Why? That's because the Servlet spec says we have to read the Request URI query and Request form data (Input Stream) to generate the the parameter list and Parts list (if request is a multipart/form)
Right now, based on your stacktrace, Jetty is only involved in giving you a HttpServletRequest InputStream which is blocked waiting for more content from the client.
A bug in your use of the servlet spec (based on the number of layers you have going on, this is a high probability, try putting a breakpoint on Jetty's org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.getParameters() method to see if the above example is going on)
Or a bug in your http client (a common scenario where the client says `Content-Length: <big-number>` but never sends the complete <big-number> of bytes, hence the blocking for content)
You can test Jetty's behavior in isolation easily enough.
use "File 1" or "File 2" on that form to select your 5gb data file.
On chrome you'll see an "Uploading" percentage at the bottom of the window.
when it's done uploading, you'll get a "Dump Servlet" response.
you'll see the results of HttpSerletRequest.getParts() here.
That tells me that 6806166040 bytes were sent as part of "file1".
If I look at the original (pre-uploaded) file, I have ...
I can see that the upload completed, the entire 6GB file was sent.
