Dubbo框架设计源码解读五(消息编解码器)

write by valuewithTime, 2020-11-25 23:00

引言

Netty服务端是基于经典的bootstrap,事件,worker, 编解码器,消息处理器的实现。netty处理器实际为一个共享的SimpleChannelHandler, 所有操作委托内部通道处理器DecodeHandler。DecodeHandler在接受消息后,解码相应的消息,将交由内部的HeaderExchangeHandler处理。HeaderExchangeHandler, 所有的操作委托给内部的ExchangeHander,实际为DubboProtocol的中ExchangeHandleAdater。

消费者调用服务提供者实际上发送的一个Invocation消息,服务端接受到消息,根据Invoker上下文,从Dubbo协议的Exporter容器中获取对应的Invoker,调用相关服务,将调用结果返回给消费者。

netty客户端也没有多少新鲜的动心,编解码器,Netty客户端处理器NettyClientHandler。NettyClientHandler实际为一个共享的ChannelDuplexHandler,所有操作委托内部通道处理器DecodeHandler。DecodeHandler在接受消息后,解码相应的消息,将交由内部的HeaderExchangeHandler处理。HeanderExchangeHandler,HeanderExchangeHandler所有的操作委托给内部的ExchangeHander,实际为DubboProtocol的中ExchangeHandleAdater。一个请求,主要包括请求Id,版本,及数据及Invocation。服务响应,主要包含消息id,消息版本,状态,相应结果,及错误信息,如果有的话。

这是上一篇所讲内容,今天我们来看一下编解码。

概要框架设计

dubbo-framework

dubbo框架主要包括序列化,消息层,传输层,协议层。序列化主要是请求消息和响应消息的序列化,比如基于Javad的ObjectOut/InputStream序列化、基于JSON的序列化。消息层提供消费者调用服务请求消息、服务提供方处理 结果响应消息的编解码;传输层主要建立消费者和服务者的通信通道,传输服务请求响应数据,比如基于Netty和Mina的,默认为Netty;协议层首先是基于相关协议将服提供者,和消费者通过export暴露出去,即注册器Registry中,消费者通过Registry订阅响应的服务提供者,消费者发现有服务 提供者,则与服务提供者建立连接,注册协议有基于Zookeeper,Redis等,在注册协议中还有一个注册器目录服务,用于提供消费者和服务者列表,及根据负载均衡策略选择服务者。服务提供者接受的消费者的服务请求后,根据相关协议,调用相应的Invoker服务。 消费者和服务者的RPC调用协议,实际在DubboProtocol中,协议首先导出服务,消费者发送RPC请求,调用Exporter服务容器中的Invoker。

消息编解码

在传输器Transport的基于Netty的服务端和客户端中,都一个编解码适配器,今天我们来看一下,如何进行编解码的。

从上面可以看出,编码器编码主要是针对请求Request和响应Response,编码首先写头部,针对请求主要有魔数、序列化标志,请求id,然后是请求数据,主要有RpcInvocation的服务URL,版本信息,服务方法,方法参数类型,方法参数类型通过ReflectUtils进行编码,最后还有方法参数;针对响应,首先写头部,魔数,请求id,然后是响应数据。需要注意在编码请求和响应的时候,有一部分是Attament,这部分是可以扩展的地方。

来看一下序列化器

//CodecSupport

 /**
     * @param url
     * @return
     */
    public static Serialization getSerialization(URL url) {
        return ExtensionLoader.getExtensionLoader(Serialization.class).getExtension(
                url.getParameter(Constants.SERIALIZATION_KEY, Constants.DEFAULT_REMOTING_SERIALIZATION));
    }

序列化器,有FastJsonSerialization,JavaSerialization, 默认为JavaSerialization,我们来看JavaSerialization的实现。

/**
 *
 */
public class JavaSerialization implements Serialization {

    @Override
    public byte getContentTypeId() {
        return 3;
    }

    @Override
    public String getContentType() {
        return "x-application/java";
    }

    @Override
    public ObjectOutput serialize(URL url, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
        return new JavaObjectOutput(out);
    }

    @Override
    public ObjectInput deserialize(URL url, InputStream is) throws IOException {
        return new JavaObjectInput(is);
    }
}

先来看序列化

//JavaObjectOutput

/**
 * Java Object output.
 */
public class JavaObjectOutput extends NativeJavaObjectOutput {
    public JavaObjectOutput(OutputStream os) throws IOException {
        super(new ObjectOutputStream(os));
    }

    public JavaObjectOutput(OutputStream os, boolean compact) throws IOException {
        super(compact ? new CompactedObjectOutputStream(os) : new ObjectOutputStream(os));
    }

    @Override
    public void writeUTF(String v) throws IOException {
        if (v == null) {
            getObjectOutputStream().writeInt(-1);
        } else {
            getObjectOutputStream().writeInt(v.length());
            getObjectOutputStream().writeUTF(v);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void writeObject(Object obj) throws IOException {
        if (obj == null) {
            getObjectOutputStream().writeByte(0);
        } else {
            getObjectOutputStream().writeByte(1);
            getObjectOutputStream().writeObject(obj);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void flushBuffer() throws IOException {
        getObjectOutputStream().flush();
    }
}

反序列化 //JavaObjectInput

/**
 * Java Object input.
 */
public class JavaObjectInput extends NativeJavaObjectInput {
    public final static int MAX_BYTE_ARRAY_LENGTH = 8 * 1024 * 1024;

    public JavaObjectInput(InputStream is) throws IOException {
        super(new ObjectInputStream(is));
    }

    public JavaObjectInput(InputStream is, boolean compacted) throws IOException {
        super(compacted ? new CompactedObjectInputStream(is) : new ObjectInputStream(is));
    }

    @Override
    public byte[] readBytes() throws IOException {
        int len = getObjectInputStream().readInt();
        if (len < 0) {
            return null;
        }
        if (len == 0) {
            return new byte[0];
        }
        if (len > MAX_BYTE_ARRAY_LENGTH) {
            throw new IOException("Byte array length too large. " + len);
        }

        byte[] b = new byte[len];
        getObjectInputStream().readFully(b);
        return b;
    }

    @Override
    public String readUTF() throws IOException {
        int len = getObjectInputStream().readInt();
        if (len < 0) {
            return null;
        }

        return getObjectInputStream().readUTF();
    }

    @Override
    public Object readObject() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        byte b = getObjectInputStream().readByte();
        if (b == 0) {
            return null;
        }

        return getObjectInputStream().readObject();
    }

    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T readObject(Class<T> cls) throws IOException,
            ClassNotFoundException {
        return (T) readObject();
    }

    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T readObject(Class<T> cls, Type type) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        return (T) readObject();
    }

}

从上面可看出,JavaSerialization的序列化和反序列化实际是基于ObjectOutput/InputStream。

我们再来看一下,解码器,对编码的反相关操作,我们简单过一下

从上面可以看出,解码消息首先解码消息头部魔数等数据,然后是请求id,如果是消费者请求则解码出消息体,实际为DecodeableRpcInvocation,包括方面名,参数以及参数值;如果是请求响应,解码出返回结果,实际为DecodeableRpcResult,包含服务响应数据。

总结

NettyCodecAdapter为编解码器的适配,内部编码器实际为ByteToMessageDecoder, 内部的编码操作委托给内部编解码器,根据SPI机制,实际为DubboCodec;内部解码器实际为ByteToMessageDecoder,解码操作委托给DubboCodec。

编码器编码主要是针对请求Request和响应Response,编码首先写头部,针对请求主要有魔数、序列化标志,请求id,然后是请求数据,主要有RpcInvocation的服务URL,版本信息,服务方法,方法参数类型,方法参数类型通过ReflectUtils进行编码,最后还有方法参数;针对响应,首先写头部,魔数,请求id,然后是响应数据。需要注意在编码请求和响应的时候,有一部分是Attament,这部分是可以扩展的地方。序列化器,有FastJsonSerialization,JavaSerialization, 默认为JavaSerialization。JavaSerialization的序列化和反序列化实际是基于ObjectOutput/InputStream。

解码消息首先解码消息头部魔数等数据,然后是请求id,如果是消费者请求则解码出消息体,实际为DecodeableRpcInvocation,包括方面名,参数以及参数值;如果是请求响应,解码出返回结果,实际为DecodeableRpcResult,包含服务响应数据。
