浅谈Spring Cloud Ribbon的原理

Ribbon是Netflix发布的开源项目，主要功能是提供客户端的软件负载均衡算法，将Netflix的中间层服务连接在一起。Ribbon客户端组件提供一系列完善的配置项如连接超时，重试等。简单的说，就是在配置文件中列出Load Balancer（简称LB）后面所有的机器，Ribbon会自动的帮助你基于某种规则（如简单轮询，随即连接等）去连接这些机器。我们也很容易使用Ribbon实现自定义的负载均衡算法。

说起负载均衡一般都会想到服务端的负载均衡，常用产品包括LBS硬件或云服务、Nginx等，都是耳熟能详的产品。

而Spring Cloud提供了让服务调用端具备负载均衡能力的Ribbon，通过和Eureka的紧密结合，不用在服务集群内再架设负载均衡服务，很大程度简化了服务集群内的架构。

具体也不想多写虚的介绍，反正哪里都能看得到相关的介绍。

直接开撸代码，通过代码来看Ribbon是如何实现的。

配置

浅谈Spring Cloud Ribbon的原理

详解：

1.RibbonAutoConfiguration配置生成RibbonLoadBalancerClient实例。

代码位置：

spring-cloud-netflix-core-1.3.5.RELEASE.jar

org.springframework.cloud.netflix.ribbon

RibbonAutoConfiguration.class

@Configuration
@ConditionalOnClass({ IClient.class, RestTemplate.class, AsyncRestTemplate.class, Ribbon.class})
@RibbonClients
@AutoConfigureAfter(name = "org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.EurekaClientAutoConfiguration")
@AutoConfigureBefore({LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration.class, AsyncLoadBalancerAutoConfiguration.class})
@EnableConfigurationProperties(RibbonEagerLoadProperties.class)
public class RibbonAutoConfiguration {

 // 略

 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnMissingBean(LoadBalancerClient.class)
 public LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient() {
  return new RibbonLoadBalancerClient(springClientFactory());
 }
  // 略
}

先看配置条件项，RibbonAutoConfiguration配置必须在LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration配置前执行，因为在LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration配置中会使用RibbonLoadBalancerClient实例。

RibbonLoadBalancerClient继承自LoadBalancerClient接口，是负载均衡客户端，也是负载均衡策略的调用方。

2.LoadBalancerInterceptorConfig配置生成：

1).负载均衡拦截器LoadBalancerInterceptor实例

包含：

LoadBalancerClient实现类的RibbonLoadBalancerClient实例

负载均衡的请求创建工厂LoadBalancerRequestFactory:实例

2).RestTemplate自定义的RestTemplateCustomizer实例

代码位置：

spring-cloud-commons-1.2.4.RELEASE.jar

org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer

LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration.class

@Configuration
@ConditionalOnClass(RestTemplate.class)
@ConditionalOnBean(LoadBalancerClient.class)
@EnableConfigurationProperties(LoadBalancerRetryProperties.class)
public class LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration {
 // 略
 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnMissingBean
 public LoadBalancerRequestFactory loadBalancerRequestFactory(
   LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient) {
  return new LoadBalancerRequestFactory(loadBalancerClient, transformers);
 }

 @Configuration
 @ConditionalOnMissingClass("org.springframework.retry.support.RetryTemplate")
 static class LoadBalancerInterceptorConfig {
  @Bean
  public LoadBalancerInterceptor ribbonInterceptor(
    LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient,
    LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory) {
   return new LoadBalancerInterceptor(loadBalancerClient, requestFactory);
  }

  @Bean
  @ConditionalOnMissingBean
  public RestTemplateCustomizer restTemplateCustomizer(
    final LoadBalancerInterceptor loadBalancerInterceptor) {
   return new RestTemplateCustomizer() {
    @Override
    public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) {
     List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> list = new ArrayList<>(
       restTemplate.getInterceptors());
     list.add(loadBalancerInterceptor);
     restTemplate.setInterceptors(list);
    }
   };
  }
 }
 // 略
}

先看配置条件项：

要求在项目环境中必须要有RestTemplate类。

要求必须要有LoadBalancerClient接口的实现类的实例，也就是上一步生成的RibbonLoadBalancerClient。

3.通过上面一步创建的RestTemplateCustomizer配置所有RestTemplate实例，就是将负载均衡拦截器设置给RestTemplate实例。

@Configuration
@ConditionalOnClass(RestTemplate.class)
@ConditionalOnBean(LoadBalancerClient.class)
@EnableConfigurationProperties(LoadBalancerRetryProperties.class)
public class LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration {
 // 略

 @Bean
 public SmartInitializingSingleton loadBalancedRestTemplateInitializer(
   final List<RestTemplateCustomizer> customizers) {
  return new SmartInitializingSingleton() {
   @Override
   public void afterSingletonsInstantiated() {
    for (RestTemplate restTemplate : LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration.this.restTemplates) {
     for (RestTemplateCustomizer customizer : customizers) {
      customizer.customize(restTemplate);
     }
    }
   }
  };
 }

 // 略
 @Configuration
 @ConditionalOnMissingClass("org.springframework.retry.support.RetryTemplate")
 static class LoadBalancerInterceptorConfig {
  @Bean
  public LoadBalancerInterceptor ribbonInterceptor(
    LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient,
    LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory) {
   return new LoadBalancerInterceptor(loadBalancerClient, requestFactory);
  }

  @Bean
  @ConditionalOnMissingBean
  public RestTemplateCustomizer restTemplateCustomizer(
    final LoadBalancerInterceptor loadBalancerInterceptor) {
   return new RestTemplateCustomizer() {
    @Override
    public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) {
     List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> list = new ArrayList<>(
       restTemplate.getInterceptors());
     list.add(loadBalancerInterceptor);
     restTemplate.setInterceptors(list);
    }
   };
  }
 }
 // 略
}

restTemplate.setInterceptors(list)这个地方就是注入负载均衡拦截器的地方LoadBalancerInterceptor。

从这个地方实际上也可以猜出来，RestTemplate可以通过注入的拦截器来构建相应的请求实现负载均衡。

也能看出来可以自定义拦截器实现其他目的。

4.RibbonClientConfiguration配置生成ZoneAwareLoadBalancer实例

代码位置：

spring-cloud-netflix-core-1.3.5.RELEASE.jar

org.springframework.cloud.netflix.ribbon

RibbonClientConfiguration.class

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties
//Order is important here, last should be the default, first should be optional
// see https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/issues/2086#issuecomment-316281653
@Import({OkHttpRibbonConfiguration.class, RestClientRibbonConfiguration.class, HttpClientRibbonConfiguration.class})
public class RibbonClientConfiguration {
 // 略
 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnMissingBean
 public ILoadBalancer ribbonLoadBalancer(IClientConfig config,
   ServerList<Server> serverList, ServerListFilter<Server> serverListFilter,
   IRule rule, IPing ping, ServerListUpdater serverListUpdater) {
  if (this.propertiesFactory.isSet(ILoadBalancer.class, name)) {
   return this.propertiesFactory.get(ILoadBalancer.class, config, name);
  }
  return new ZoneAwareLoadBalancer<>(config, rule, ping, serverList,
    serverListFilter, serverListUpdater);
 }

 // 略
}

ZoneAwareLoadBalancer继承自ILoadBalancer接口，该接口有一个方法：

 /**
  * Choose a server from load balancer.
  * 
  * @param key An object that the load balancer may use to determine which server to return. null if 
  *   the load balancer does not use this parameter.
  * @return server chosen
  */
 public Server chooseServer(Object key);

ZoneAwareLoadBalancer就是一个具体的负载均衡实现类，也是默认的负载均衡类，通过对chooseServer方法的实现选取某个服务实例。

拦截&请求

浅谈Spring Cloud Ribbon的原理

1.使用RestTemplate进行Get、Post等各种请求，都是通过doExecute方法实现

代码位置：
spring-web-4.3.12.RELEASE.jar

org.springframework.web.client

RestTemplate.class

public class RestTemplate extends InterceptingHttpAccessor implements RestOperations {

 // 略

 protected <T> T doExecute(URI url, HttpMethod method, RequestCallback requestCallback,
   ResponseExtractor<T> responseExtractor) throws RestClientException {

  Assert.notNull(url, "'url' must not be null");
  Assert.notNull(method, "'method' must not be null");
  ClientHttpResponse response = null;
  try {
   ClientHttpRequest request = createRequest(url, method);
   if (requestCallback != null) {
    requestCallback.doWithRequest(request);
   }
   response = request.execute();
   handleResponse(url, method, response);
   if (responseExtractor != null) {
    return responseExtractor.extractData(response);
   }
   else {
    return null;
   }
  }
  catch (IOException ex) {
   String resource = url.toString();
   String query = url.getRawQuery();
   resource = (query != null ? resource.substring(0, resource.indexOf('?')) : resource);
   throw new ResourceAccessException("I/O error on " + method.name() +
     " request for \"" + resource + "\": " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
  }
  finally {
   if (response != null) {
    response.close();
   }
  }
 }

 // 略

}

支持的各种http请求方法最终都是调用doExecute方法，该方法内调用创建方法创建请求实例，并执行请求得到响应对象。

2.生成请求实例创建工厂

上一步代码中，调用createRequest方法创建请求实例，这个方法是定义在父类中。

先整理出主要的继承关系：

浅谈Spring Cloud Ribbon的原理

createRequest方法实际是定义在HttpAccessor抽象类中。

public abstract class HttpAccessor {
 private ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory();
 public void setRequestFactory(ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory) {
  Assert.notNull(requestFactory, "ClientHttpRequestFactory must not be null");
  this.requestFactory = requestFactory;
 }
 public ClientHttpRequestFactory getRequestFactory() {
  return this.requestFactory;
 }
 protected ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI url, HttpMethod method) throws IOException {
  ClientHttpRequest request = getRequestFactory().createRequest(url, method);
  if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
   logger.debug("Created " + method.name() + " request for \"" + url + "\"");
  }
  return request;
 }
}

在createRequest方法中调用getRequestFactory方法获得请求实例创建工厂，实际上getRequestFactory并不是当前HttpAccessor类中定义的，而是在子类InterceptingHttpAccessor中定义的。

public abstract class InterceptingHttpAccessor extends HttpAccessor {

 private List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors = new ArrayList<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor>();

 public void setInterceptors(List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors) {
  this.interceptors = interceptors;
 }

 public List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> getInterceptors() {
  return interceptors;
 }

 @Override
 public ClientHttpRequestFactory getRequestFactory() {
  ClientHttpRequestFactory delegate = super.getRequestFactory();
  if (!CollectionUtils.isEmpty(getInterceptors())) {
   return new InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory(delegate, getInterceptors());
  }
  else {
   return delegate;
  }
 }
}

在这里做了个小动作，首先还是通过HttpAccessor类创建并获得SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory工厂，这个工厂主要就是在没有拦截器的时候创建基本请求实例。

其次，在有拦截器注入的情况下，创建InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory工厂，该工厂就是创建带拦截器的请求实例，因为注入了负载均衡拦截器，所以这里就从InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory工厂创建。

3.通过工厂创建请求实例

创建实例就看工厂的createRequest方法。

public class InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory extends AbstractClientHttpRequestFactoryWrapper {

 private final List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors;

 public InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory(ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory,
   List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors) {

  super(requestFactory);
  this.interceptors = (interceptors != null ? interceptors : Collections.<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor>emptyList());
 }


 @Override
 protected ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI uri, HttpMethod httpMethod, ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory) {
  return new InterceptingClientHttpRequest(requestFactory, this.interceptors, uri, httpMethod);
 }

}

就是new了个InterceptingClientHttpRequest实例，并且把拦截器、基本请求实例创建工厂注进去。

4.请求实例调用配置阶段注入的负载均衡拦截器的拦截方法intercept

可从第1步看出，创建完请求实例后，通过执行请求实例的execute方法执行请求。

ClientHttpRequest request = createRequest(url, method);
if (requestCallback != null) {
 requestCallback.doWithRequest(request);
}
response = request.execute();

实际请求实例是InterceptingClientHttpRequest，execute实际是在它的父类中。

类定义位置：

spring-web-4.3.12.RELEASE.jar

org.springframework.http.client

InterceptingClientHttpRequest.class

看一下它们的继承关系。

浅谈Spring Cloud Ribbon的原理

在execute方法中实际调用了子类实现的executeInternal方法。

public abstract class AbstractClientHttpRequest implements ClientHttpRequest {

 private final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();

 private boolean executed = false;

 @Override
 public final HttpHeaders getHeaders() {
  return (this.executed ? HttpHeaders.readOnlyHttpHeaders(this.headers) : this.headers);
 }

 @Override
 public final OutputStream getBody() throws IOException {
  assertNotExecuted();
  return getBodyInternal(this.headers);
 }

 @Override
 public final ClientHttpResponse execute() throws IOException {
  assertNotExecuted();
  ClientHttpResponse result = executeInternal(this.headers);
  this.executed = true;
  return result;
 }

 protected void assertNotExecuted() {
  Assert.state(!this.executed, "ClientHttpRequest already executed");
 }

 protected abstract OutputStream getBodyInternal(HttpHeaders headers) throws IOException;

 protected abstract ClientHttpResponse executeInternal(HttpHeaders headers) throws IOException;

}

其实就是InterceptingClientHttpRequest类的executeInternal方法，其中，又调用了一个执行器InterceptingRequestExecution的execute，通关判断如果有拦截器注入进来过，就调用拦截器的intercept方法。

这里的拦截器实际上就是在配置阶段注入进RestTemplate实例的负载均衡拦截器LoadBalancerInterceptor实例，可参考上面配置阶段的第2步。

class InterceptingClientHttpRequest extends AbstractBufferingClientHttpRequest {

 // 略

 @Override
 protected final ClientHttpResponse executeInternal(HttpHeaders headers, byte[] bufferedOutput) throws IOException {
  InterceptingRequestExecution requestExecution = new InterceptingRequestExecution();
  return requestExecution.execute(this, bufferedOutput);
 }


 private class InterceptingRequestExecution implements ClientHttpRequestExecution {

  private final Iterator<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> iterator;

  public InterceptingRequestExecution() {
   this.iterator = interceptors.iterator();
  }

  @Override
  public ClientHttpResponse execute(HttpRequest request, byte[] body) throws IOException {
   if (this.iterator.hasNext()) {
    ClientHttpRequestInterceptor nextInterceptor = this.iterator.next();
    return nextInterceptor.intercept(request, body, this);
   }
   else {
    ClientHttpRequest delegate = requestFactory.createRequest(request.getURI(), request.getMethod());
    for (Map.Entry<String, List<String>> entry : request.getHeaders().entrySet()) {
     List<String> values = entry.getValue();
     for (String value : values) {
      delegate.getHeaders().add(entry.getKey(), value);
     }
    }
    if (body.length > 0) {
     StreamUtils.copy(body, delegate.getBody());
    }
    return delegate.execute();
   }
  }
 }

}

5.负载均衡拦截器调用负载均衡客户端

在负载均衡拦截器LoadBalancerInterceptor类的intercept方法中，又调用了负载均衡客户端LoadBalancerClient实现类的execute方法。

public class LoadBalancerInterceptor implements ClientHttpRequestInterceptor {

 private LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer;
 private LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory;

 public LoadBalancerInterceptor(LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer, LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory) {
  this.loadBalancer = loadBalancer;
  this.requestFactory = requestFactory;
 }

 public LoadBalancerInterceptor(LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer) {
  // for backwards compatibility
  this(loadBalancer, new LoadBalancerRequestFactory(loadBalancer));
 }

 @Override
 public ClientHttpResponse intercept(final HttpRequest request, final byte[] body,
   final ClientHttpRequestExecution execution) throws IOException {
  final URI originalUri = request.getURI();
  String serviceName = originalUri.getHost();
  Assert.state(serviceName != null, "Request URI does not contain a valid hostname: " + originalUri);
  return this.loadBalancer.execute(serviceName, requestFactory.createRequest(request, body, execution));
 }
}

在配置阶段的第1步，可以看到实现类是RibbonLoadBalancerClient。

6.负载均衡客户端调用负载均衡策略选取目标服务实例并发起请求

在RibbonLoadBalancerClient的第一个execute方法以及getServer方法中可以看到，实际上是通过ILoadBalancer的负载均衡器实现类作的chooseServer方法选取一个服务，交给接下来的请求对象发起一个请求。

这里的负载均衡实现类默认是ZoneAwareLoadBalancer区域感知负载均衡器实例，其内部通过均衡策略选择一个服务。

ZoneAwareLoadBalancer的创建可以参考配置阶段的第4步。

public class RibbonLoadBalancerClient implements LoadBalancerClient {
 @Override
 public <T> T execute(String serviceId, LoadBalancerRequest<T> request) throws IOException {
  ILoadBalancer loadBalancer = getLoadBalancer(serviceId);
  Server server = getServer(loadBalancer);
  if (server == null) {
   throw new IllegalStateException("No instances available for " + serviceId);
  }
  RibbonServer ribbonServer = new RibbonServer(serviceId, server, isSecure(server,
    serviceId), serverIntrospector(serviceId).getMetadata(server));

  return execute(serviceId, ribbonServer, request);
 }

 @Override
 public <T> T execute(String serviceId, ServiceInstance serviceInstance, LoadBalancerRequest<T> request) throws IOException {
  Server server = null;
  if(serviceInstance instanceof RibbonServer) {
   server = ((RibbonServer)serviceInstance).getServer();
  }
  if (server == null) {
   throw new IllegalStateException("No instances available for " + serviceId);
  }

  RibbonLoadBalancerContext context = this.clientFactory
    .getLoadBalancerContext(serviceId);
  RibbonStatsRecorder statsRecorder = new RibbonStatsRecorder(context, server);

  try {
   T returnVal = request.apply(serviceInstance);
   statsRecorder.recordStats(returnVal);
   return returnVal;
  }
  // catch IOException and rethrow so RestTemplate behaves correctly
  catch (IOException ex) {
   statsRecorder.recordStats(ex);
   throw ex;
  }
  catch (Exception ex) {
   statsRecorder.recordStats(ex);
   ReflectionUtils.rethrowRuntimeException(ex);
  }
  return null;
 }
  
 // 略 

 protected Server getServer(ILoadBalancer loadBalancer) {
  if (loadBalancer == null) {
   return null;
  }
  return loadBalancer.chooseServer("default"); // TODO: better handling of key
 }

 protected ILoadBalancer getLoadBalancer(String serviceId) {
  return this.clientFactory.getLoadBalancer(serviceId);
 }

 public static class RibbonServer implements ServiceInstance {
  private final String serviceId;
  private final Server server;
  private final boolean secure;
  private Map<String, String> metadata;

  public RibbonServer(String serviceId, Server server) {
   this(serviceId, server, false, Collections.<String, String> emptyMap());
  }

  public RibbonServer(String serviceId, Server server, boolean secure,
    Map<String, String> metadata) {
   this.serviceId = serviceId;
   this.server = server;
   this.secure = secure;
   this.metadata = metadata;
  }

  // 略
 }

}

代码撸完，总结下。

普通使用RestTemplate请求其他服务时，内部使用的就是常规的http请求实例发送请求。

为RestTemplate增加了@LoanBalanced 注解后，实际上通过配置，为RestTemplate注入负载均衡拦截器，让负载均衡器选择根据其对应的策略选择合适的服务后，再发送请求。
