Detailed Description
The present disclosure now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the disclosure are shown. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The terms "first", "second", and the like are used hereinafter only for descriptive distinction and not for other specific meanings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram of an embodiment of a configuration method of a distributed application according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1:
And 102, establishing connection between the configuration Agent and a configuration center, downloading a configuration file corresponding to the application instance from the configuration center, and storing the configuration file.
The configuration center is a server or a host computer and the like which stores and manages configuration files of application instances in the distributed system. The configuration Agent can establish connection with the configuration center by adopting various existing methods for data transmission. The configuration Agent stores the configuration file into a specified directory, and usually, when the configuration file is uploaded by the configuration center, the directory for storing the configuration file needs to be specified, and the configuration Agent downloads the configuration file from the configuration center. A plurality of parameter values are set in the configuration file, and the application instance runs based on the parameter values.
And 103, if the configuration Agent determines that the configuration file stored in the configuration center is changed, the configuration Agent establishes connection with the configuration center and downloads the updated configuration file.
And 104, the configuration Agent executes the restarting operation of the application instance based on a preset application instance restarting strategy.
In one embodiment, the configuration agents and the application instances are set in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and the configuration agents and the application instances corresponding to the configuration agents are deployed in the same server or container, for example, the configuration agents and the application instances corresponding to the configuration agents are deployed in the same Docker or LXC. The configuration Agent runs as an independent process, the application instance also runs as an independent process, and after the configuration Agent is started and downloads the configuration file from the configuration center and stores the configuration file, the configuration Agent starts the application instance corresponding to the configuration Agent.
The configuration Agent obtains a local appointed directory of the configuration file and stores the configuration file in the local appointed directory. The application instance can acquire the configuration file downloaded or updated by the configuration Agent from the local specified directory and run based on the configuration file. The configuration Agent may perform the restart operation on the application instance in various ways based on a preset application instance restart policy. The configuration Agent determines the modified parameters in the configuration file, judges whether the application instance needs to be restarted or not based on the application instance restarting strategy and the modified parameters, and if so, the configuration Agent restarts the application instance.
For example, after the configuration Agent is started and downloads the configuration file from the configuration center and stores the configuration file, the configuration Agent starts the application instance corresponding to the configuration Agent. The application instance can obtain the configuration file from the local specified directory when starting, and run based on the configuration file.
And if the configuration Agent determines that the configuration file stored in the configuration center is changed, downloading the updated configuration file. And the configuration Agent compares the original configuration file with the updated configuration file, and if the modified parameters in the configuration file are determined to be the available memory parameters, the application instance does not need to be restarted based on the application instance restarting strategy and the available memory parameters. The application instance may obtain an updated configuration file from this locally specified directory during operation, and continue operation based on the values of the new available memory parameters.
And if the configuration Agent compares the original configuration file with the updated configuration file, determining that the modified parameters in the configuration file are database URL parameters, user name and password parameters, and determining that the application instance needs to be restarted based on the application instance restarting strategy and the database URL parameters, the user name and the password parameters. The application instance may obtain an updated configuration file from the locally specified directory upon reboot, and run based on the updated configuration file.
According to the configuration method of the distributed application in the embodiment, the latest configuration file is downloaded, the configuration update is monitored, the managed system is started and stopped and the like in a mode of adopting a resident daemon process (configuration Agent) of the host machine, so that the application instance has no perception on the access of the unified configuration center, and the system coupling degree is reduced.
In one embodiment, a configuration Agent obtains identification information for an application instance. For example, when the configuration Agent is started, the identifier of the application instance is read from the environment variable, and the configuration Agent downloads the configuration file corresponding to the application instance from the configuration center according to the identification information. For example, the configuration Agent obtains the identifier of the charging application instance as A1, and the configuration Agent downloads the configuration file corresponding to A1 from the configuration center.
The configuration Agent obtains preset configuration related information, the configuration related information can be stored in a file, and the configuration related information comprises: configuring center information, application instance starting strategies, identification information and the like; the configuration center information includes a URL, a user name, a password, etc. of the configuration center. The configuration Agent checks the validity of the configuration related information, if the check fails, the configuration Agent ends the operation, if the check succeeds, the configuration Agent obtains command parameters for the application instance, the command parameters can be parameters input by a user through a command line, and the command parameters include: log file storage path, etc. And the configuration Agent checks the validity of the command parameter, and if the checking is successful, a log refreshing thread is started for writing the log into the log file indicated by the log file storage path.
In one embodiment, the configuration Agent obtains native information, the native information comprising: the IP address and host name of the host. And the configuration Agent establishes connection with the configuration center based on the configuration center information and the local information. And the configuration Agent judges that the connection is successfully established, and if so, downloads the latest configuration file. The configuration Agent creates a first Znode on the Zookeeper to identify that the application instance is using the configuration file. And if the configuration Agent judges that the connection is failed to be established, reestablishing the connection with the configuration center, and if the connection establishment failure times reach a preset time threshold value, finishing the operation of the configuration Agent.
And the configuration Agent monitors a second ZNode corresponding to the configuration file on the Zookeeper. And if the configuration file is determined to be changed and successfully published based on the second ZeNode, automatically downloading the updated configuration file from the configuration center to replace the original configuration file.
The ZooKeeper is a distributed and open-source distributed application program coordination service, is an important component of Hadoop and Hbase, is software for providing a consistency service for distributed applications, and provides functions including: configuration maintenance, domain name service, distributed synchronization, group service, etc. In ZooKeeper, a node is also called a znode. Using zooKeeper can greatly simplify the implementation of distributed coordination services, called ZNeode for each Namespace (Namespace) developed in zooKeeper. Stored in each node (ZNode) is synchronization related data, and a ZNode maintains a state structure that includes: version number, ACL changes, timestamp. Each time ZNode data changes, the version number is incremented so that a client's read request can retrieve state-related data based on the version number. The configuration Agent can set a monitor on one ZNode corresponding to the configuration file, and if the ZNode data is changed, the ZooKeeper informs the configuration Agent. The configuration Agent may download the updated configuration file using a variety of existing methods.
Fig. 2 is a schematic start-up flow diagram of another embodiment of a configuration method of a distributed application according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2:
The configuration Agent depends on the user-defined operation parameters during operation, and reads configuration center information, retry strategies, identifiers of application instances and the like by analyzing preset configuration file parameters.
And step 208, acquiring local information, and acquiring the IP address, the host name and the like of the local.
Step 209 initializes the main thread context information of the configuration Agent.
Fig. 3 is a schematic operation flow diagram of another embodiment of a configuration method of a distributed application according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3:
in step 301, the configuration Agent starts the connector and starts to establish a connection for communication with the server (configuration center).
In step 303, the configuration Agent initiates a retry mechanism, which is configured in step 201, e.g., the retry mechanism is configured to retry every n seconds for a total of m retries.
And step 304, the configuration Agent judges whether to reconnect, if the reconnection is not needed, the operation is directly finished, and if the reconnection is needed, the step 305 is executed. Generally speaking, not reconnecting means that the number of retries has reached a preset threshold and no further retries are performed.
In step 305, the configuration Agent starts to reconnect to the configuration center in the same manner as the logic executed by the connection in step 301.
In step 308, the configuration Agent creates Znodes, one of which represents application instance information that is using the current configuration file. Through the Znode, a plurality of application instances can check that the current configuration file is used in an operation and maintenance window.
In step 310, the configuration Agent determines that the configuration has changed, and if the configuration file is modified, the configuration Agent starts to download the configuration again.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the present disclosure provides a configuration apparatus for a distributed application, including a proxy startup module 41 and a configuration Agent 42. The configuration Agent comprises: a configuration download module 421, a configuration update module 422, an instance processing module 423, an information acquisition module 424, and a log refresh module 425.

The configuration downloading module 421 establishes a connection with the configuration center, and downloads and stores the configuration file corresponding to the application instance from the configuration center. The configuration update module 422 establishes a connection with the configuration center and downloads the updated configuration file if it determines that the configuration file stored in the configuration center is changed. The instance processing module 423 performs a restart operation for the application instance based on a preset application instance restart policy.
The configuration agents and the application instances are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence mode, and the configuration agents and the application instances corresponding to the configuration agents are deployed in the same server or container. The configuration Agent operates as an independent process, and after the configuration Agent is started and downloads and stores the configuration file from the configuration center, the configuration Agent starts the corresponding application instance. The configuration downloading module 421 obtains the local specified directory of the configuration file, and stores the configuration file in the local specified directory.
