分布式一致性协议Raft原理与实例


1.Raft协议

1.1 Raft简介

Raft是由Stanford提出的一种更易理解的一致性算法,意在取代目前广为使用的Paxos算法。目前,在各种主流语言中都有了一些开源实现,比如本文中将使用的基于JGroups的Raft协议实现。关于Raft的原理,强烈推荐动画版Raft讲解

1.2 Raft原理

在Raft中,每个结点会处于下面三种状态中的一种:

  • follower:所有结点都以follower的状态开始。如果没收到leader消息则会变成candidate状态
  • candidate:会向其他结点“拉选票”,如果得到大部分的票则成为leader。这个过程就叫做Leader选举(Leader Election)
  • leader:所有对系统的修改都会先经过leader。每个修改都会写一条日志(log entry)。leader收到修改请求后的过程如下,这个过程叫做日志复制(Log Replication):
    1. 复制日志到所有follower结点(replicate entry)
    2. 大部分结点响应时才提交日志
    3. 通知所有follower结点日志已提交
    4. 所有follower也提交日志
    5. 现在整个系统处于一致的状态

1.2.1 Leader Election

当follower在选举超时时间(election timeout)内未收到leader的心跳消息(append entries),则变成candidate状态。为了避免选举冲突,这个超时时间是一个150~300ms之间的随机数

成为candidate的结点发起新的选举期(election term)去“拉选票”:

  1. 重置自己的计时器
  2. 投自己一票
  3. 发送 Request Vote消息

如果接收结点在新term内没有投过票那它就会投给此candidate,并重置它自己的选举超时时间。candidate拉到大部分选票就会成为leader,并定时发送心跳——Append Entries消息,去重置各个follower的计时器。当前Term会继续直到某个follower接收不到心跳并成为candidate。

如果不巧两个结点同时成为candidate都去“拉票”怎么办?这时会发生Splite Vote情况。两个结点可能都拉到了同样多的选票,难分胜负,选举失败,本term没有leader。之后又有计时器超时的follower会变成candidate,将term加一并开始新一轮的投票。

1.2.2 Log Replication

当发生改变时,leader会复制日志给follower结点,这也是通过Append Entries心跳消息完成的。前面已经列举了Log Replication的过程,这里就不重复了。

Raft能够正确地处理网络分区(“脑裂”)问题。假设A~E五个结点,B是leader。如果发生“脑裂”,A、B成为一个子分区,C、D、E成为一个子分区。此时C、D、E会发生选举,选出C作为新term的leader。这样我们在两个子分区内就有了不同term的两个leader。这时如果有客户端写A时,因为B无法复制日志到大部分follower所以日志处于uncommitted未提交状态。而同时另一个客户端对C的写操作却能够正确完成,因为C是新的leader,它只知道D和E。

当网络通信恢复,B能够发送心跳给C、D、E了,却发现“改朝换代”了,因为C的term值更大,所以B自动降格为follower。然后A和B都回滚未提交的日志,并从新leader那里复制最新的日志。但这样是不是就会丢失更新?


2.JGroups-raft介绍

2.1 JGroups中的Raft

JGroups是Java里比较流行的网络通信框架,近期顺应潮流,它也推出了Raft基于JGroups的实现。简单试用了一下,还比较容易上手,底层Raft的内部机制都被API屏蔽掉了。下面就通过一个分布式计数器的实例来学习一下Raft协议在JGroups中的实际用法。

Maven依赖如下:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jgroups</groupId>
        <artifactId>jgroups-raft</artifactId>
        <version>0.2</version>
    </dependency>

其实JGroups-raft的Jar包中已经自带了一个Counter的Demo,但仔细看了一下,有的地方写的有些麻烦,不太容易把握住Raft这根主线。所以这里就参照官方的例子,进行了简写,突出Raft协议的基本使用方法。JGroups-raft目前资料不多,InfoQ上的这篇文章很不错,还有官方文档

2.2 核心API

使用JGroups-raft时,我们一般会实现两个接口:RAFT.RoleChange和StateMachine

  • 实现RAFT.RoleChange接口的方法能通知我们当前哪个结点是leader
  • 实现StateMachine执行要实现一致性的操作

典型单点服务实现方式就是:

JChannel ch = null;
RaftHandle handle = new RaftHandle(ch, this);
handle.addRoleListener(role -> {
    if(role == Role.Leader)
        // start singleton services
    else
        // stop singleton services
});

2.3 默认配置

jgroups-raft.jar中已经带了一个raft.xml配置文件,作为实例程序我们可以直接使用它。

简要解释一下最核心的几个配置项,参照GitHub上的文档

  • UDP:IP多播配置
  • raft.NO_DUPES:是否检测新加入结点的ID与老结点有重复
  • raft.ELECTION:选举超时时间的随机化范围
  • raft.RAFT所有Raft集群的成员必须在这里声明,也可以在运行时通过addServer/removeServer动态修改
  • raft.REDIRECT:是否转发请求给leader
  • raft.CLIENT:在哪个IP和端口上接收客户端请求

    <raft.RAFT members="A,B,C" raft_id="${raft_id:undefined}"/>
    <raft.REDIRECT/>
    <raft.CLIENT bind_addr="0.0.0.0" />
</config>

3.JGroups-raft实例

实例很简单,只有JGroupsRaftTest和CounterService两个类组成。JGroupsRaftTest是测试启动类,而CounterService就是利用Raft协议实现的分布式计数服务类。

3.1 JGroupsRaftTest

JGroupsRaftTest的职责主要有三个:

  • 创建Raft协议的JChannel
  • 创建CounterService
  • 循环读取用户输入

目前简单实现了几种操作包括:初始化计数器、加一、减一、读取计数器、查看Raft日志、做Raft快照(用于压缩日志文件)等。其中对计数器的操作,因为要与其他Raft成员进行分布式通信,所以当前集群必须要多于一个结点时才能进行操作。如果要支持单结点时的操作,需要做特殊处理

import org.jgroups.JChannel;
import org.jgroups.protocols.raft.RAFT;
import org.jgroups.util.Util;

/**
 * Test jgroups raft algorithm implementation.
 */
public class JGroupsRaftTest {

    private static final String CLUSTER_NAME = "ctr-cluster";
    private static final String COUNTER_NAME = "counter";
    private static final String RAFT_XML = "raft.xml";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JChannel ch = new JChannel(RAFT_XML).name(args[0]);
        CounterService counter = new CounterService(ch);

        try {
            doConnect(ch, CLUSTER_NAME);
            doLoop(ch, counter);
        } finally {
            Util.close(ch);
        }
    }

    private static void doConnect(JChannel ch, String clusterName) throws Exception {
        ch.connect(clusterName);
    }

    private static void doLoop(JChannel ch, CounterService counter) {
        boolean looping = true;
        while (looping) {
            int key = Util.keyPress("\n[0] Create [1] Increment [2] Decrement [3] Dump log [4] Snapshot [x] Exit\n" +
                    "first-applied=" + ((RAFT) ch.getProtocolStack().findProtocol(RAFT.class)).log().firstApplied() +
                    ", last-applied=" + counter.lastApplied() +
                    ", commit-index=" + counter.commitIndex() +
                    ", log size=" + Util.printBytes(counter.logSize()) + ": ");

            if ((key == '0' || key == '1' || key == '2') && !counter.isLeaderExist()) {
                System.out.println("Cannot perform cause there is no leader by now");
                continue;
            }

            long val;
            switch (key) {
                case '0':
                    counter.getOrCreateCounter(COUNTER_NAME, 1L);
                    break;
                case '1':
                    val = counter.incrementAndGet(COUNTER_NAME);
                    System.out.printf("%s: %s\n", COUNTER_NAME, val);
                    break;
                case '2':
                    val = counter.decrementAndGet(COUNTER_NAME);
                    System.out.printf("%s: %s\n", COUNTER_NAME, val);
                    break;
                case '3':
                    counter.dumpLog();
                    break;
                case '4':
                    counter.snapshot();
                    break;
                case 'x':
                    looping = false;
                    break;
                case '\n':
                    System.out.println(COUNTER_NAME + ": " + counter.get(COUNTER_NAME) + "\n");
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

}

3.2 CounterService

CounterService是我们的核心类,利用Raft实现了分布式的计数器操作,它的API主要由四部分组成:

  • Raft Local API:操作本地Raft的状态,像日志大小、做快照等
  • Raft API:实现Raft的监听器和状态机的方法
    • roleChanged:本地Raft的角色发生变化
    • apply:分布式通信消息
    • readContentFrom/writeContentTo:读写快照
  • Counter API:计数器的分布式API
  • Counter Native API:计数器的本地API。直接使用的话相当于脏读

3.3 运行测试

我们分别以A、B、C为参数,启动三个JGroupsRaftTest服务。这样会自动在C:\Users\cdai\AppData\Local\Temp下生成A.log、B.log、C.log三个日志文件夹。

3.3.1 分布式一致性

首先A创建计数器,B“加一”,C“减一”。可以看到尽管我们是分别在A、B、C上执行这三个操作,但三个结点都先后(leader提交日志后通知follower)通过apply()方法收到消息,并在本地的计数器Map上同步执行操作,保证了数据的一致性。最后停掉A服务,可以看到B通过roleChanged()得到消息,提升为新的Leader,并与C一同继续提供服务。

3.3.2 服务恢复

在只有B和C的集群中,我们执行了一次“加一”。当我们重新启动A服务时,它会自动执行这条日志,保持与B和C的一致。从日志的index能够看出,69是一个Term,也就是A为Leader时的“任期”,而70也就是B为Leader时。

A的控制台输出:
