[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] At present, in order to uniformly manage the data of different game teams, traditional game servers mostly manage the group data of games on a single server process, which is called a group service center. The basic group operation steps are as follows:

[0029] Step 1: The server user object sends the group operation to the group service center through the network or internal program call;

[0030] Step 2: After receiving the data of the group operation, the group service center of the server creates or updates the corresponding group data, and after completion, notifies the server user object of the operation result;

[0031] Step 3: The server user object receives the operation result and completes a group operation.

[0032] However, the group service center of the above-mentioned server is a single-point service, and its service carrying capacity has a single-point upper limit, which is difficult to expand. In addition, when a single-point service fails, the group service of the entire server will be unavailable, seriously affecting the user experience of players.

[0033] Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device, system and server for processing group data, which can effectively alleviate the above technical problems.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a group data processing method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0035] In one possible implementation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing group data, which is applied to a server, specifically, to a background server of a game, such as a background server of an online game, etc., and in order to ensure high availability and high scalability of the online game group organization so as to provide players with a long-lasting and stable gaming experience, the server is usually configured with a distributed group service cluster.

[0036] In specific implementation, the distributed group service cluster in the embodiment of the present invention includes a group center node, at least one group shard node, at least one group branch node and at least one group node, wherein after the group shard node, the group branch node and the group node are started, they are all connected to the group center node network; and the distributed group service cluster in the embodiment of the present invention uses a distributed structure, which is implemented through a distributed topology structure of a group center node (ClanCenter)--group shard node (ClanShard)--group branch node (ClanStub)--group node (Clan).

[0037] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 A basic framework diagram of a distributed group service cluster is shown, and for the sake of convenience, Figure 1 In the description, a distributed group service cluster including one group center node, three group shard nodes, three group line nodes and three group nodes is taken as an example.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the community center node, also called ClanCenter, is responsible for the network topology of the distributed community service cluster; for example, it is responsible for maintaining the network topology of all nodes in the network topology of the distributed community service cluster, and so on.

[0039] A group shard node, also called ClanShard, is used to manage a group list containing multiple group nodes and forward operation request messages of the group nodes; for example, it is responsible for group scheduling on the corresponding group shard node according to the group list, and scheduling different group shard nodes to load different group data, etc.

[0040] The group branch node is also called ClanStub, which is responsible for the loading operation of the group node; for example, it is responsible for loading the group data scheduled by the group shard node, and provides general group data operation logic, such as creation, dissolution, modification, query, etc. The group node runs on one of the group branch nodes, and the group node also carries the group data of the specific group and provides data storage operations. The data will be stored in Figure 1 in the database to ensure persistent storage.

[0041] It should be understood that Figure 1 It is only a schematic diagram of the basic framework of a distributed group service cluster. In other implementations, the number of group shard nodes, group line nodes and group nodes can be set according to actual usage, and, Figure 1 The database in the example generally adopts a database based on distributed file storage, such as a MongoDB database, etc. The specific parameters of the database can also be set according to actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0042] based on Figure 1 The distributed group service cluster shown can ensure the user experience during the operation of online games through a distributed online game group organization solution, provide users with uninterrupted game group organization services, ensure the stability and high availability of game group organization services, and have a certain degree of high scalability.

[0043] Specifically, based on Figure 1 The distributed group service cluster shown, Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for processing group data is also provided. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step S202, receiving an operation request message;

[0045] The operation request message carries the identifier of the target group of the requested operation;

[0046] In specific implementation, the above operation request message is usually sent by a user, wherein the user usually refers to a player of an online game, and can be a player who has joined a certain group, or an independent non-group player. Usually, users have their own accounts, so as to log in to the background server of the online game to play the game. Therefore, after the user logs in to his own account, he can perform corresponding operations, for example, a non-group user applies to join a certain group, or a group user who has joined a certain group updates his group data, or a group leader user of a certain group approves a new user to join the group, etc. Therefore, the above operation request message in the embodiment of the present invention usually includes messages such as creation, dissolution, modification, and query initiated by users or players. After the user initiates to the server, the server can execute the above step S202 to receive the operation request message.

[0047] Furthermore, for the server, each user will generate data when logging in. From the server's perspective, each user is equivalent to a group, and the data generated by each user can be used as the group data of the group. Therefore, the group is the logical unit of group data in the server memory when the server is running, that is, the group in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1A group node is shown. During the operation of the server, the group node can store the group data at runtime and run on the above-mentioned group branch node ClanStub. Moreover, each group has a unique identifier as the globally unique number of the group. Therefore, after the user logs in to the server, it is equivalent to the group corresponding to the user going online. At this time, the user can initiate an operation request message for a certain operation to the server as the target group. The operation request message will carry the identifier of the target group so that the server can recognize the identifier, and then further perform the following steps in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] Step S204, locating the corresponding group shard node according to the identifier of the target group, and sending the operation request message to the group shard node;

[0049] Step S206, determining the communication address of the group branch node corresponding to the target group identifier through the group branch node, and sending the operation request message to the group branch node corresponding to the communication address, so that the group branch node performs the operation corresponding to the operation request message.

[0050] In specific implementation, since in an embodiment of the present invention, the group sharding node in the distributed group service cluster configured by the server is used to manage a group list containing multiple group nodes and forward operation request messages of the group nodes, after the server receives the operation request message sent by the user, it can extract the identifier of the target group carried in the operation request message, and then execute the above-mentioned step S204 process to locate the group sharding node, so as to continue to execute the step S206 process and put the group sharding node corresponding to the target group into use.

[0051] The group branch node is responsible for loading the target group, and the target group runs on a group branch node in the distributed group service cluster. It also provides a set of network interfaces for receiving operation request messages forwarded in the group shard node. The operation request message also serves as an operation request for group data, including creation, dissolution, modification, query, etc.

[0052] In specific implementation, after startup, the group shard node can connect to the group center node of the distributed group service cluster, and discover the node network address of the group shard node through the network topology information, establish a connection with the group shard node through the address, and put it into use.

[0053] The group data processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can configure a distributed group service cluster on the server, and the distributed group service cluster includes a group center node, at least one group shard node, at least one group branch node and at least one group node. In this way, when an operation request message is received, the corresponding group shard node can be located according to the identifier of the target group carried in the operation request message, and the operation request message can be sent to the group shard node; then the communication address of the group branch node corresponding to the identifier of the target group is determined through the group shard node, and the operation request message is sent to the group branch node corresponding to the communication address, so that the group branch node executes the operation corresponding to the operation request message. Since the entire group service cluster is distributed, it can provide high-availability and high-scalability services to the group organization during the operation of the server, and can effectively process the user's operation request message, thereby improving the player experience.

[0054] In actual use, since the number of server users, such as online game players, is huge, the above-mentioned distributed group service cluster provided in the embodiment of the present invention is usually designed based on the following goals: high availability and scalability, while supporting millions of DAU (Daily Active User). In order to achieve this goal, a certain number of group shard nodes are usually deployed to manage a group list containing multiple group nodes, and one group node corresponds to one group, that is, a user.

[0055] In addition, the group sharding node in the embodiment of the present invention is also responsible for maintaining a group sharding node list, which stores the communication addresses of all group sharding nodes connected to the group sharding node, and is used to allocate group sharding nodes to execute specific operation request messages. In addition, since there are multiple group sharding nodes, in the above step S204, after the server extracts the identifier of the target group, when locating the group sharding node, it is usually necessary to obtain the number of all group sharding nodes deployed in the distributed group service cluster; then, based on the number and the pre-set grouping mechanism, the number of the group sharding node corresponding to the identifier of the target group is calculated, so as to determine the group sharding node corresponding to the number as the group sharding node corresponding to the identifier of the target group.

[0056] For ease of understanding, a distributed group service cluster deploys N group shard nodes as an example. In addition, one group shard node manages a group of group nodes. One possible grouping mechanism is:

[0057] (1) For the N group shard nodes deployed, each group shard node is assigned a number from 0 to N-1, which is recorded as the identifier shard_id of the group shard node;

[0058] (2) The identifier of the target group usually refers to the group's globally unique number, that is, the number of the group logging into the distributed group service cluster. Therefore, after obtaining the number assigned to each group shard node, the identifier of the group shard node can be divided by the identifier of the target group, and the value corresponding to the remainder can be determined as the number of the group shard node that manages the target group.

[0059] That is, a modulo grouping mechanism is adopted to determine the number of the group shard node corresponding to the identifier of the target group.

[0060] It should be understood that the above-mentioned remainder grouping mechanism is only one possible grouping mechanism. In other implementations, the grouping mechanism can also be in other forms, such as randomly selecting the group shard node number, etc., which can be specifically set according to actual usage, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0061] Furthermore, since the group sharding node is used to manage a group list containing multiple group nodes, after locating the corresponding group sharding node through the above step S204, in the above step S206, when determining the group sharding node corresponding to the identifier of the target group, it is necessary to first confirm whether the identifier of the target group is in the group list managed by the group sharding node. If not, the target group needs to be added to the group list, and then the communication address of the group sharding node can be further determined to forward the operation request message; if the target group is in the group list, the communication address of the group sharding node where the group node corresponding to the identifier of the target group is located can be directly found.

[0062] Therefore, in the above step S206, determining the communication address of the group branch node corresponding to the identifier of the target group specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] (1) Check whether the target group's identifier is included in the group list pre-stored in the group shard node;

[0064] (2) if not, loading the target group's identifier into a pre-stored group list to update the group list;

[0065] (3) searching the updated group list for the communication address of the group branch node where the group node corresponding to the target group's identifier is located;

[0066] (4) sending the operation request message to the group branch node corresponding to the communication address, so that the group branch node performs the operation corresponding to the operation request message;

[0067] (5) If the group list pre-stored in the group slicing node includes the identifier of the target group, then search the group list for the communication address of the group branch node where the group node corresponding to the identifier of the target group is located; send the operation request message to the group branch node corresponding to the communication address, so that the group branch node executes the operation corresponding to the operation request message.

[0068] Specifically, in the above (2), when the identifier of the target group is loaded into the pre-stored group list to update the group list, it is necessary to randomly select any group branch node from the group branch node list managed by the group sharding node; initiate a request to load the target group on the selected group branch node, so that the group branch node reads the stored data corresponding to the identifier of the target group from a preset database, and loads the stored data into the memory to complete the loading process of the target group; load the identifier of the target group and the communication address of the group branch node for loading the target group into the pre-stored group list to update the group list.

[0069] In actual use, the above-mentioned group list and group branch node list can be constructed according to the topological structure of the distributed group service cluster to facilitate subsequent use and updating. Specifically, since the group sharding nodes, group branching nodes and group nodes are all connected to the group center node network after startup; therefore, when constructing the group list and the group branch node list, the topological structure of the distributed group service cluster can be obtained; then based on the topological structure, the group list and the group branch node list are constructed on the group sharding nodes.

[0070] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, a group list usually adopts a hash table, the key of the hash table is the identifier of the group corresponding to the group node, and the value of the hash table is the communication address of the group branch node corresponding to the group identifier; in addition, the group branch node list maintained on the group shard node stores all the group branch nodes connected to the group shard node, as well as the communication address of the group branch node, so as to allocate the group branch node to execute the specific group's request operation, that is, to enable the group branch node to execute the operation corresponding to the operation request message.

[0071] In actual use, in order to ensure the high availability of the distributed group service cluster, when the distributed group service cluster is configured, the group data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention also includes a disaster recovery solution applicable to the distributed group service cluster for possible failures that may occur during the operation of the background server cluster of the game, so as to solve the problem that when any node related to the distributed group service cluster fails during the operation of the server, the group organization service of the entire distributed group service cluster is not affected. Figure 1 The basic framework of the distributed group service cluster is shown, and the specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0072] (1) The group center node ClanCenter is only responsible for managing the network topology of the distributed group service cluster. It is stateless. After a line failure, other service nodes will initiate a reconnection request. After ClanCenter restarts, it will re-establish connections with other nodes.

[0073] (2) Creating multiple child nodes on each group shard node, and establishing communication between the multiple child nodes according to a preset communication protocol to ensure data consistency between the multiple child nodes;

[0074] Among them, multiple sub-nodes include a master node and multiple backup nodes, and the master node and the backup node back up each other. For details, please refer to Figure 1 The distributed group service cluster shown shows a schematic diagram of a master node and a backup node.

[0075] Specifically, the group shard node ClanShard mainly contains a group list of multiple group nodes and forwards the operation request messages of the group nodes. The communication protocol between the multiple child nodes deployed by each group shard node ClanShard can adopt the Raft protocol, so as to ensure the final consistency of the data through the Raft algorithm. When the master node (Leader node) of ClanShard fails, the standby node (Follower node) of ClanShard perceives it through the heartbeat packet, and elects a new master node (Leader node) through the Raft algorithm to take over the failed master node to continue service; when the standby node (Follower node) fails, since the standby node (Follower node) is only a backup node, it does not involve specific forwarding logic and does not affect the service of the entire group shard node, and the failure can be restarted.

[0076] (3) If the group branch node ClanStub goes offline, the group node on the group branch node will go offline. Figure 1 As shown, the distributed group service cluster in the embodiment of the present invention is also configured with a database; multiple groups in the group node can be triggered to store data in the database according to a preset timing mechanism. This group node storage mechanism can ensure that the group data will not be lost; at the same time, after the group shard node ClanShard monitors the group branch node ClanStub through the heartbeat protocol, it will clear the information of the corresponding group node in the group list. When a new operation request message is received, the loading of the group node can be re-initiated without affecting the business of the group node.

[0077] For ease of understanding, based on Figure 1 The distributed community service cluster shown, and Figure 2 The method of processing group data shown, Figure 3 A group data operation flow is also shown, wherein, for the sake of convenience, Figure 3 The MongoDB database, the group shard node ClanStub, the group shard node ClanShard, and the user are shown, wherein the group shard node ClanShard shows the master node Leader. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0078] Step S301: The user requests to operate the group's data and sends the operation request message to the group's sharding node;

[0079] The operation request message carries the identifier Clan_id of the target group for the requested operation, that is, the globally unique number of the group. In this step, the number of the group shard node ClanShard corresponding to the identifier Clan_id of the target group needs to be calculated according to the preset grouping mechanism, and then the group shard node ClanShard managed by it is located, and the request is sent to the leader node of the group shard node ClanShard.

[0080] Step S302, the leader of the group shard node ClanShard determines whether the identifier Clan_id of the target group is in the pre-stored group list, if not, execute step S303, if yes, execute step S306;

[0081] Step S303, the leader of the group shard node ClanShard randomly selects a group shard node ClanStub from the group shard node list it manages, initiates a request to load the target group Clan, and executes step S304;

[0082] Step S304: After receiving the request, the group shard node ClanStub reads the corresponding target group's stored data from the database, loads the stored data into the memory, completes the loading of the target group Clan, and notifies the leader of the group shard node ClanShard that the loading of the target group Clan is complete. The entire process of step S304 is as follows: Figure 3 , as indicated by the dotted line of step S304, and then executing step S305;

[0083] Step S305: After receiving the target group Clan loading completion, the leader of the group shard node ClanShard registers the identifier clan_id of the target group Clan and the communication address of the corresponding loaded group shard node ClanStub into the group list to update the group list, and then executes step S306;

[0084] Step S306, the group shard node ClanShard finds the communication address of the group branch node ClanStub where the group Clan corresponding to the target group identifier clan_id is located from the group list, and sends an operation request message to the group branch node ClanStub through the communication address to perform group-related operations, and then executes step S307;
