Dubbo的客户端负载均衡关键过程

String applicationConfig = "consumer-applicationContext.xml";
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(applicationConfig);
UserInfoService userInfoService = (UserInfoService) context.getBean("userInfoService");
//负载均衡的处理是一个典型的懒加载模式,只有在第一次调用接口时,才进行负载均衡的处理。
System.out.println(userInfoService.sayHello("zhangsan"));

1.在进入sayHello的调用时,堆栈信息和帧代码如下


其中Constants.LOADBALANCE_KEY的值是“loadbalance”,而Constants.DEFAULT_LOADBALANCE的值是“random”,每个接口(reference)均可以灵活配置一个均衡方式,默认不配置的情况下都是random的。

不配置loadbalance时,是random的模式。

2.假如当前的loadbalance设置了leastactive时,它是如何把名字和类LeastActiveLoadBalance的实例关联起来呢?
3.首先它在com.alibaba.dubbo.rpc.cluster.loadbalance目录下实现了4种均衡方式,如下:

ConsistentHashLoadBalance:一致哈希
LeastActiveLoadBalance:最久不使用
RandomLoadBalance:随机
RoundRobinLoadBalance:顺序循环

注:上1点中的loadbalance返回的则是上述的其中一个均衡策略类实例。
4.其它dubbo实现了一套类似spi的服务加载机制如下:

private void loadFile(Map> extensionClasses, String dir) {
        String fileName = dir + type.getName();
        try {
            Enumeration urls;
            ClassLoader classLoader = findClassLoader();
            if (classLoader != null) {
                urls = classLoader.getResources(fileName);
            } else {
                urls = ClassLoader.getSystemResources(fileName);
            }
            if (urls != null) {
                while (urls.hasMoreElements()) {
                    java.net.URL url = urls.nextElement();
                    try {
                        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "utf-8"));
                        try {
                            String line = null;
                            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                                final int ci = line.indexOf('#');
                                if (ci >= 0) line = line.substring(0, ci);
                                line = line.trim();
                                if (line.length() > 0) {
                                    try {
                                        String name = null;
                                        int i = line.indexOf('=');
                                        if (i > 0) {
                                            name = line.substring(0, i).trim();
                                            line = line.substring(i + 1).trim();
                                        }
                                        if (line.length() > 0) {
                                            Class clazz = Class.forName(line, true, classLoader);
                                            if (! type.isAssignableFrom(clazz)) {
                                                throw new IllegalStateException("Error when load extension class(interface: " +

5.每个均衡策略类均实现了select接口,通过该接口从多个可用的后端服务中返回其中一个服务。

 Invoker select(List> invokers, URL url, Invocation invocation) throws RpcException;
