OK,言归正题。OpenResty 提供了以 ngx.thread.*
,coroutine.*
和 ngx.semaphore
等一系列协程 API。虽然受限于 Nginx 的请求处理方式,表现力不如通用语言的协程 API 那么强大。但是开开脑洞,还是可以玩出一些花样来的。
借助这些 API,让我们尝试模拟下其他编程平台里面的调度方式。
模拟 Java 里面的 Future
Java 里的 Future 可以让我们创建一个任务,然后在需要的时候才去 get 任务的返回值。另外 Future 还有超时功能。
我们可以启用一个协程来完成具体的任务,再加一个定时结束的协程,用于实现超时。
像这样:
local function task()
ngx.sleep(3)
ngx.say("Done")
end
local task_thread = ngx.thread.spawn(task)
local timeout_thread = ngx.thread.spawn(function(timeout)
ngx.sleep(timeout)
error("timeout")
end, 2)
local ok, res = ngx.thread.wait(task_thread, timeout_thread)
if not ok then
if res == "timeout" then
ngx.thread.kill(task_thread)
ngx.say("task cancelled by timeout")
return
end
ngx.say("task failed, result: ", res)
end
ngx.thread.kill(timeout_thread)
注意一点,在某一协程退出之后,我们需要 kill 掉另外一个协程。因为如果没有调用 ngx.exit
之类的方法显式退出的话,一直到所有协程退出为止,当前阶段都不会结束。
引用文档里相关的内容:
By default, the corresponding Nginx handler (e.g., rewrite_by_lua handler) will not terminate until
both the "entry thread" and all the user "light threads" terminates,
a "light thread" (either the "entry thread" or a user "light thread" aborts by calling ngx.exit, ngx.exec, ngx.redirect, or ngx.req.set_uri(uri, true), or
the "entry thread" terminates with a Lua error.
模拟 Javascript 里面的 Promise.race/all
Promise.race/all 可以接收多个 Promise,然后打包成一个新的 Promise 返回。引用相关的文档:
The Promise.race(iterable) method returns a promise that resolves or rejects as soon as one of the promises in the iterable resolves or rejects, with the value or reason from that promise.
The Promise.all(iterable) method returns a promise that resolves when all of the promises in the iterable argument have resolved, or rejects with the reason of the first passed promise that rejects.
这里 reject 等价于协程运行中抛出 error,而 resolve 相对于协程返回了结果。这两个 API 对于 reject 的处理是一致的,都是有任一出错则立刻返回异常结果。对于正常结果,race 会在第一个结果出来时返回,而 all 则会在所有结果都出来后返回。
值得注意的是,Javascript 原生的 Promise 暂时没有 cancell 的功能。所以即使其中一个 Promise reject 了,其他 Promise 依然会继续运行。对此我们也照搬过来。
Promise.race 的实现:
local function apple()
ngx.sleep(0.1)
--error("apple lost")
return "apple done"
end
local function banana()
ngx.sleep(0.2)
return "banana done"
end
local function carrot()
ngx.sleep(0.3)
return "carrot done"
end
local function race(...)
local functions = {...}
local threads = {}
for _, f in ipairs(functions) do
local th, err = ngx.thread.spawn(f)
if not th then
-- Promise.race 没有实现 cancell 接口,
-- 所以我偷下懒,不管已经创建的协程了
return nil, err
end
table.insert(threads, th)
end
local ok, res = ngx.thread.wait(unpack(threads))
if not ok then
return nil, res
end
return res
end
local res, err = race(apple, banana, carrot)
ngx.say("res: ", res, " err: ", err)
ngx.exit(ngx.OK)
Promise.all 的实现:
local function all(...)
local functions = {...}
local threads = {}
for _, f in ipairs(functions) do
local th, err = ngx.thread.spawn(f)
if not th then
return nil, err
end
table.insert(threads, th)
end
local res_group = {}
for _ = 1, #threads do
local ok, res = ngx.thread.wait(unpack(threads))
if not ok then
return nil, res
end
table.insert(res_group, res)
end
return res_group
end
模拟 Go 里面的 channel (仅部分实现)
再进一步,试试模拟下 Go 里面的 channel。
我们需要实现如下的语义:
当数据没有被消费时,生产者会在发送数据之后中断运行。
当数据没有被生产时,消费者会在接收数据之前中断运行。
当存在等待消费者接收数据的生产者时,其他生产者会在发送数据之前中断运行。
这次要用到 ngx.semaphore
。
local semaphore = require "ngx.semaphore"
local Chan = {
new = function(self)
local chan_attrs = {
_read_sema = semaphore:new(),
_write_sema = semaphore:new(),
_exclude_sema = semaphore:new(),
_buffer = nil,
_waiting_thread_num = 0,
}
return setmetatable(chan_attrs, {__index = self})
end,
send = function(self, value, timeout)
timeout = timeout or 60
while self._buffer do
self._waiting_thread_num = self._waiting_thread_num + 1
self._exclude_sema:wait(timeout)
self._waiting_thread_num = self._waiting_thread_num - 1
end
self._buffer = value
self._read_sema:post()
self._write_sema:wait(timeout)
end,
receive = function(self, timeout)
timeout = timeout or 60
self._read_sema:wait(timeout)
local value = self._buffer
self._buffer = nil
self._write_sema:post()
if self._waiting_thread_num > 0 then
self._exclude_sema:post()
end
return value
end,
}
local chan = Chan:new()
-- 以下是使用方法
local function worker_a(ch)
for i = 1, 10 do
ngx.sleep(math.random() / 10)
ch:send(i, 1)
end
end
local function worker_c(ch)
for i = 11, 20 do
ngx.sleep(math.random() / 10)
ch:send(i, 1)
end
end
local function worker_d(ch)
for i = 21, 30 do
ngx.sleep(math.random() / 10)
ch:send(i, 1)
end
end
local function worker_b(ch)
for _ = 1, 20 do
ngx.sleep(math.random() / 10)
local v = ch:receive(1)
ngx.say("recv ", v)
end
end
local function worker_e(ch)
for _ = 1, 10 do
ngx.sleep(math.random() / 10)
local v = ch:receive(1)
ngx.say("recv ", v)
end
end
ngx.thread.spawn(worker_a, chan)
ngx.thread.spawn(worker_b, chan)
ngx.thread.spawn(worker_c, chan)
ngx.thread.spawn(worker_d, chan)
ngx.thread.spawn(worker_e, chan)
模拟 Buffered channel 也是可行的。
local ok, new_tab = pcall(require, "table.new")
if not ok then
new_tab = function (_, _) return {} end
end
local BufferedChan = {
new = function(self, buffer_size)
if not buffer_size or buffer_size <= 0 then
error("Invalid buffer_size " .. (buffer_size or "nil") .. " given")
end
local chan_attrs = {
_read_sema = semaphore:new(),
_write_sema = semaphore:new(),
_waiting_thread_num = 0,
_buffer_size = buffer_size,
}
chan_attrs._buffer = new_tab(buffer_size, 0)
return setmetatable(chan_attrs, {__index = self})
end,
send = function (self, value, timeout)
timeout = timeout or 60
while #self._buffer >= self._buffer_size do
self._waiting_thread_num = self._waiting_thread_num + 1
self._write_sema:wait(timeout)
self._waiting_thread_num = self._waiting_thread_num - 1
end
table.insert(self._buffer, value)
self._read_sema:post()
end,
receive = function(self, timeout)
timeout = timeout or 60
self._read_sema:wait(timeout)
local value = table.remove(self._buffer)
if self._waiting_thread_num > 0 then
self._write_sema:post()
end
return value
end,
}
local chan = BufferedChan:new(2)

当然上面的山寨货还是有很多问题的。比如它缺少至关重要的 select 支持,另外也没有实现 close 相关的特性。
