hadoop作为分布式的系统, 集群机器之间的通信是最基本,最常见的需求。
这种需求本质上是IPC, 即进程间通信。 按照传统的UINX编程模型,进程间通信无非是如下的几种方式:
管道, FIFO, 消息队列, 信号量, 共享存储, 套接字。只有套接字是可以跨机器的网络通信, 能满足hadoop的需求。

通常情况下, 网络通信的程序使用显式网络编程(即直接使用java.net包)。比如Web浏览器, Web服务器等。
但也有另一部分程序使用隐式网络编程, 比如利用hadoop RPC这种封装了底层通信细节的工具包。

这样做使得底层的网络通信对于程序员透明。一则减轻了程序员的负担, 二则抽象了功能模块, 使得模块之间职责更清晰, 便于维护。

首先展示一个hadoop RPC功能demo, 了解hadoop RPC的用法。

step 1: 在pom.xml文件中添加依赖项


     org.apache.hadoop
     hadoop-common
     2.6.0
 

step 2: 在src/main/resources中添加log4j.properties

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,console
log4j.additivity.org.apache=true
# (console)
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.Threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.console.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.console.Target=System.err
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=[%-5p] %d(%r) --> [%t] %l: %m %x %n

step 3: 定义RPC协议

package hadooprpc.demo;

import java.io.IOException;

interface ClientProtocol extends org.apache.hadoop.ipc.VersionedProtocol {
   // 版本号,默认情况下,不同版本号的 RPC Client 和 Server 之间不能相互通信
   public static final long versionID = 1L;
   String echo(String value) throws IOException;
   int add(int v1, int v2) throws IOException;
}

step 4: 实现RPC协议

package hadooprpc.demo;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtocolSignature;

public  class ClientProtocolImpl implements ClientProtocol {
    // 重载的方法,用于获取自定义的协议版本号,
   public long getProtocolVersion(String protocol, long clientVersion) {
      return ClientProtocol.versionID;
   }

   // 重载的方法,用于获取协议签名
   public ProtocolSignature getProtocolSignature(String protocol, long clientVersion,
   int hashcode) {
      return new ProtocolSignature(ClientProtocol.versionID, null);
   }

   public String echo(String value) throws IOException {
      return value;
   }

   public int add(int v1, int v2) throws IOException {
      return v1 + v2;
   }
}

step 5; 构造并启动 RPC Server

package hadooprpc.demo;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.hadoop.HadoopIllegalArgumentException;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC;
import org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server;

public class RPCServer {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws HadoopIllegalArgumentException, IOException {
      Configuration conf = new Configuration();
      Server server = new RPC.Builder(conf).setProtocol(ClientProtocol.class)
            .setInstance(new ClientProtocolImpl()).setBindAddress("localhost").setPort(8097)
            .setNumHandlers(5).build();
            server.start();
   }
}

step 6: 构造 RPC Client 并发送 RPC 请求

package hadooprpc.demo;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC;

public class RPCClient {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      ClientProtocol client = (ClientProtocol)RPC.getProxy(ClientProtocol.class, ClientProtocol.versionID,
                                                           new InetSocketAddress(8097), new Configuration());
      int result = client.add(5, 6);
      System.out.println(result);
      String echoResult = client.echo("result");
      System.out.println(echoResult);
      RPC.stopProxy(client); -- 关闭连接
   }
}

step 7: 启动RPC Server, 然后执行 RPC Client.

通过上面的例子可以发现, 通过这种编程方式,不用考虑网络层的细节,只需要编写接口和接口实现即可。
问渠那得清如许?  通过hadoop RPC的源码, 或许可以管中窥豹。

hadoop RPC的实现原理很简单。
Client:
1. 通过动态代理,获取到调用接口的方法,参数类型。
2. 将调用信息编码,发送到服务器
3. 获取服务器的返回值, 并解码。
4. 返回调用方法的返回值。
Server:
1. 启动服务器, 并监听客户端。
2. 获取客户端发送过来的调用方法, 参数。
3. 执行实现类中相关的方法。
4. 将返回值发送到客户端。

理解原理后, 自己动手实现了一个非常粗糙, 只具备演示功能的RPC框架。

上面的代码只有300多行, 而且在编码/解码部分有重叠的代码, 可以优化缩减, 功能也不完善。 但是仿照Hadoop RPC, 演示了RPC的原理。 对照着Hadoop RPC的源码, 自己编码实现, 对于源码中各个类的功能, 会有更清晰的理解。
