Custom Service Discovery and Load Balancing
Service Discovery
The Discover
trait offers the capability for custom service discovery, supporting both static and subscribable service discovery functionalities.
Trait Definition
/// [`Instance`] contains information of an instance from the target service.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct Instance {
pub address: Address,
pub weight: u32,
pub tags: HashMap<Cow<'static, str>, Cow<'static, str>>,
}
/// Change indicates the change of the service discover.
///
/// Change contains the difference between the current discovery result and the previous one.
/// It is designed for providing detail information when dispatching an event for service
/// discovery result change.
///
/// Since the loadbalancer may rely on caching the result of discover to improve performance,
/// the discover implementation should dispatch an event when result changes.
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct Change<K> {
/// `key` should be the same as the output of `WatchableDiscover::key`,
/// which is often used by cache.
pub key: K,
pub all: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
pub added: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
pub updated: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
pub removed: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
}
/// [`Discover`] is the most basic trait for Discover.
pub trait Discover: Send + Sync + 'static {
/// `Key` identifies a set of instances, such as the cluster name.
type Key: Hash + PartialEq + Eq + Send + Sync + Clone + 'static;
/// `Error` is the discovery error.
type Error: std::error::Error + Send + Sync;
/// `discover` allows to request an endpoint and return a discover future.
async fn discover(&self, endpoint: &Endpoint) -> Result<Vec<Arc<Instance>>, Self::Error>;
/// `key` should return a key suitable for cache.
fn key(&self, endpoint: &Endpoint) -> Self::Key;
/// `watch` should return a [`async_broadcast::Receiver`] which can be used to subscribe
/// [`Change`].
fn watch(&self) -> Option<Receiver<Change<Self::Key>>>;
}
Use example:
pub struct StaticDiscover {
instances: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
}
impl Discover for StaticDiscover {
type Key = ();
type Error = Infallible;
async fn discover(&self, _: &Endpoint) -> Result<Vec<Arc<Instance>>, Self::Error> {
async { Ok(self.instances.clone()) }.await
}
fn key(&self, _: &Endpoint) -> Self::Key {}
fn watch(&self) -> Option<async_broadcast::Receiver<Change<Self::Key>>> {
None
}
}
Load Balancing
Volo offers the capability to customize load balancing strategies based on the LoadBalance trait:
/// [`LoadBalance`] promise the feature of the load balance policy.
pub trait LoadBalance<D>: Send + Sync + 'static
where
D: Discover,
{
/// `InstanceIter` is an iterator of [`crate::discovery::Instance`].
type InstanceIter: Iterator<Item = Address> + Send;
/// `get_picker` allows to get an instance iterator of a specified endpoint from self or
/// service discovery.
async fn get_picker(
&self,
endpoint: &Endpoint,
discover: &D,
) -> Result<Self::InstanceIter, LoadBalanceError>;
/// `rebalance` is the callback method be used in service discovering subscription.
fn rebalance(&self, changes: Change<D::Key>);
}
Use example:
pub struct InstancePicker {
instances: Vec<Arc<Instance>>,
index: usize
}
impl Iterator for InstancePicker {
type Item = Address;
fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item> {
let i = self.instances.get(self.index);
self.index += 1;
i.map(|i| i.clone().address.clone())
}
}
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct RoundRobin<K>
where
K: Hash + PartialEq + Eq + Send + Sync + 'static,
{
router: DashMap<K, Arc<Vec<Arc<Instance>>>>,
}
impl<D> LoadBalance<D> for RoundRobin<D::Key>
where
D: Discover,
{
type InstanceIter = InstancePicker;
async fn get_picker(
&self,
endpoint: &Endpoint,
discover: &D,
) -> Result<Self::InstanceIter, LoadBalanceError> {
let key = discover.key(endpoint);
let list = match self.router.entry(key) {
Entry::Occupied(e) => e.get().clone(),
Entry::Vacant(e) => {
let instances =
Arc::new(discover.discover(endpoint).await?);
e.insert(instances).value().clone()
}
};
Ok(InstancePicker {
instances: list.to_vec(),
index: 0
})
}
fn rebalance(&self, changes: Change<D::Key>) {
if let Entry::Occupied(entry) = self.router.entry(changes.key.clone()) {
entry.replace_entry(Arc::new(changes.all));
}
}
}
