It should be noted that the gray scale distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is generally executed by the server 105, and accordingly, the gray scale distribution apparatus is generally provided in the terminal device 101.

Based on the system architecture 100 described above, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a gray scale publishing method. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include steps S210, S220, S230. Wherein:

In the gray scale publishing method of the exemplary embodiment, a serial number corresponding to an identification code is generated through the identification code of a user, then a gray scale publishing percentage is obtained, a boundary value of the serial number is calculated according to the gray scale publishing percentage, and the user participating in gray scale publishing is determined according to the boundary value; on one hand, the method can realize accurate positioning of the participating users of the gray release and improve the flow accuracy of the gray release users; on the other hand, the method can be applied to different gray scale publishing scenes through different gray scale publishing percentages, is simple and flexible, and improves the gray scale publishing efficiency.

Next, each step of the gradation issuance method in the present exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to fig. 2 to 3.

Step S210, generating a serial number corresponding to the identification code according to the identification code of the user.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the identification code of the user may include information identifying the user or information capable of verifying the identity of the user. The identification codes may be unique to each user and do not duplicate each other. Also, the identification code may be composed of characters of numbers, letters, or non-numeric letters, such as 123456, abcd, @ # $, or the like, or may be composed of characters of numbers, letters, or non-numeric letters, such as 123abc, 2323@ abc, or the like, which is not limited in this example embodiment. In addition, the length of the identification code may be any length according to the actual situation, for example, 5 characters, 10 characters, and so on.

Likewise, the serial number may comprise a non-repeating, long string of characters, which may include numeric, alphabetic, non-numeric alphabetic characters, or combinations thereof, e.g., 123a56, 1, abc, and the like. Also, the serial numbers may have a relationship with each other, e.g., the numeric portions of the serial numbers may be progressively larger, progressively smaller, etc., the alphabetical portions of the serial numbers may vary alphabetically, etc.

For example, a serial number corresponding to the identification code may be generated according to the identification code of the user, the user may be numbered in sequence according to a random order of the user, and the generated serial number may be used as the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user. For another example, a string of numbers may be randomly generated for each identification code, and the string of numbers may be used as a serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user without being repeated. Of course, the serial number corresponding to the identification code may be generated in other manners according to actual situations, for example, a serial number generator is used to generate the serial number corresponding to each identification code, or a custom function method is used to generate the serial number corresponding to the identification code. Preferably, the identification codes of the users may be sequentially numbered according to the total number of the users, and a serial number corresponding to the identification code is generated. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

the user identification codes may be sequentially numbered according to the total number of the users, for example, the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the first user may be "1", and the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the second user may be "2", until the last user, whose serial number corresponds to the identification code of the last user is the total number of the users. Of course, the identification codes of the users may be numbered in other manners, for example, by using a random number generator, randomly generating a serial number corresponding to the identification code of each user, and so on.

Further, in order to prevent the multiple threads from generating the serial numbers at the same time, which causes confusion of the correspondence relationship between the identification codes of the users and the serial numbers, the serial numbers corresponding to the identification codes of the users can be generated based on the distributed lock. That is to say, a distributed lock may be set, the distributed lock is acquired when a serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user needs to be generated, the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user may be generated after the distributed lock is acquired, and the distributed lock may be released after the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user is generated, so that it is ensured that the acquired serial number corresponds to the identification code of the user one to one.

Various information of the user can be stored in the database, and thus the identification code of the user can also be acquired by accessing the database. In a distributed environment, multiple requests may be processed simultaneously, that is, multiple threads may access user information simultaneously. When a plurality of threads simultaneously request user information to generate a serial number corresponding to a user, the serial numbers generated by the respective threads may be repeated, that is, a plurality of users may correspond to the same serial number. Therefore, a distributed lock can be set for the user information, and when the serial number corresponding to the user needs to be generated, the user information only responds to one request at a time, so that the data required by the request is provided. In detail, in a distributed environment, when a plurality of threads simultaneously request to acquire an identification code of a user, a distributed lock configured for information including the identification code of the user needs to be acquired first. The thread which acquires the distributed lock can further acquire the identification code of the user, so that a serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user is generated, the distributed lock can be released after the task execution of the thread is completed, and the thread which does not acquire the distributed lock can acquire the distributed lock again after waiting for the distributed lock to be released. For example, the thread a and the thread B request to acquire the user identification code at the same time, and the thread a preemptively acquires the lock of the user identification code, then the thread a may acquire the user identification code, and further generate a corresponding serial number according to the user identification code, and the thread B may wait for the thread a to release the lock and then acquire the lock again, and only the thread that acquires the lock may operate on the user identification code.

It will be appreciated that instead of providing a distributed lock to the user's identification code, a distributed lock may be provided to the method of generating the identification code. In detail, a distributed lock may be set to lock a method of generating a corresponding serial number according to an identification code of a user. At this time, if the thread requests execution of the method for generating a serial number, the lock of the method may be acquired first, and after the lock of the method is acquired, the method may be executed. However, other distributed locks may be provided, such as a distributed lock for a method of obtaining a user identification code, and so forth.

Still further, due to the continuous updating of the user, the identification code of the user may be cancelled after the user cancels the account, at this time, the corresponding relationship between the serial number of the user and the identification code does not exist, and the serial number of the user may not have meaning and becomes redundant data. Therefore, after the serial number corresponding to the identification code is generated, the identification code can be updated every preset time period; and then, according to the updated identification code, the serial number corresponding to the identification code is regenerated.

Step S220, obtaining the gray level release percentage, and calculating the boundary value of the serial number according to the gray level release percentage.

Grayscale publishing may be used to publish any new products, e.g., new application systems, new applications, etc. The gray release can separate a part of users who use a new product from users who use an old product, and then can improve the new product according to the use opinions of the part of users, and gradually increase the total number of users who use the new product until all the users use the new product. Therefore, the gradation issuance percentage may include a proportion of users participating in gradation issuance among all users, that is, a proportion of users using a new product. The percentage of gray release may be set by the operation and maintenance personnel, and the percentage of gray release may be different for each product, e.g., 10%, 20%, etc. Of course, the percentages of the multiple gray releases may be the same, for example, unified to a default value of 20%.

In the exemplary embodiment, after the gray scale issuance percentage is determined, the boundary value of the serial number may be calculated according to the gray scale issuance percentage. The boundary value of the serial number can be determined by performing mathematical calculation on the gray scale release percentage and the total number of the users, or the identification code of the user is transformed to obtain the mathematical expression of the identification code, and then the boundary value of the serial number is determined according to the calculation between the gray scale release percentage and the mathematical expression. For example, the number of users who can participate in the gray release can be obtained by multiplying the total number of the identification codes, that is, the total number of the users by the gray release percentage, and the number is used as a boundary value of the serial number. For example, the total number of users is 10000, the gray scale release percentage is 10%, and the product of the total number of users and the gray scale release percentage, that is, the boundary value of the serial number may be 1000. Of course, the boundary value of the serial number may be calculated by other methods, for example, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the serial number is used, and then the result of multiplying the maximum value by the gray release percentage is used as the boundary value, and the like. Preferably, the boundary value of the serial number is calculated according to the total number of the identification codes and the gray scale release percentage.

In the present exemplary embodiment, after the boundary value of the serial number is determined, the user participating in the gray release may be determined according to the boundary value. The user participating in the gradation issuance may be a user who satisfies a specific relationship between the serial number and the boundary value, and for example, a user corresponding to a serial number smaller than the boundary value may be determined as a user participating in the gradation issuance. Of course, the users participating in the gray scale distribution may also be determined in other manners according to the boundary value, for example, the user corresponding to the serial number with the serial number being a multiple of the boundary value is the user participating in the gray scale distribution, and so on.

Therefore, in the present exemplary embodiment, step S230 may further include step S301 and step S302. As shown in fig. 3, wherein:

step S301, judging whether the serial number corresponding to the identification code of the user is smaller than the demarcation value;

step S302, if the serial number is smaller than the boundary value, determining that the user corresponding to the serial number is a user participating in gray scale release.

That is, the serial number corresponding to the user may be sequentially compared with the boundary value, and the serial number smaller than the boundary value may be the serial number corresponding to the user participating in the gray scale distribution.

Further, after the user participating in the gray scale release is determined, the serial number corresponding to the identification code can be deleted when the preset gray scale period is over. The preset gray scale period may include an effective time of gray scale release. The gray scale release may be valid within the preset gray scale period, and if the preset gray scale period is exceeded, it may be determined that the gray scale release is ended. At the end of the release of the gradation, the above-mentioned serial number may be deleted. And, the preset gray period may be set by operation and maintenance personnel, and different gray releases may set gray periods with different durations, for example, 5 days, 8 days, and so on. Alternatively, a default value may be set, and the default value may be used as a preset gray scale period for gray scale distribution, for example, 5 days.
