A communication method and system for distributed services

Abstract

The present application provides a communication method and system for distributed services, comprising: a service process running on a distributed node generates a communication message; obtaining a target address for the communication message within the service process; and the service process sending the communication message to a message queue server or a message queue on the current node based on the target address. This approach enables local message consumption to require only simple operations in local memory, eliminating the need for network protocol encapsulation and unpacking, thereby improving process execution efficiency. The use of dual message queues also decouples distributed services, eliminating the need for strong business coupling between service processes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a communication method and system for distributed services, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In existing distributed services, service processes are distributed across multiple servers. The implementation of business logic typically requires the coordination of these processes, which in turn requires the collaboration of these processes through message communication. Most existing technologies utilize a centralized messaging middleware platform to implement inter-process communication. This requires all messages to be sent over the network to the messaging middleware platform to enable message publishing and consumption, resulting in low inter-process execution efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and system for distributed services, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium to address the technical deficiencies in the prior art.

[0004] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a communication method for a distributed service is provided, including:

[0005] The service processes running on distributed nodes generate communication messages;

[0006] Obtaining a destination address of the communication message within the service process;

[0007] The service process sends the communication message to a message queue server or to a local message queue service on the current node according to the target address.

[0008] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a communication system for distributed services is provided, including:

[0009] Multiple distributed nodes and at least one message queue server;

[0010] Wherein, at least one service process runs on each distributed node, and the service process generates communication messages;

[0011] The service process obtains the target address of the communication message;

[0012] The service process further includes a routing module, which sends the communication message to a message queue server or to a local message queue service on a current node according to a target address.

[0013] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a computing device is provided, comprising a memory, a processor, and computer instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the communication method for the distributed service when executing the instructions.

[0014] According to a fourth aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which stores computer instructions, and when the instructions are executed by a processor, the steps of the communication method of the distributed service are implemented.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present application, a communication method between distributed service processes is implemented by means of dual message queues. The target address of the message generated by the service process is identified in each service process on the distributed node. If the target address is a local service process, the message is routed to a local message queue implemented based on shared memory. If the target address is a remote service process, the message is routed to a message queue server on the distributed system. In this way, the consumption of local messages only requires a memory copy operation, and there is no need for packaging and unpacking under the network protocol, thereby improving the execution efficiency of the process. At the same time, the use of dual message queues also realizes the decoupling between distributed services, and there is no need for strong business coupling between the service processes.

[0028] Next, a communication method for distributed services provided by an embodiment of the present application is described. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a communication method for a distributed service provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Specifically, this embodiment provides a method step for generating a communication message, including steps 202 to 206.

[0029] Step 202: The service process running on the distributed node generates a communication message.

[0030] In a communication method for a distributed service provided in an embodiment of the present application, multiple distributed nodes are included, and each distributed node includes at least one service process. In the process of implementing business logic, the service process generates a communication message, which is used to notify other service processes to participate in completing the business logic.

[0031] Step 204: Obtain the target address of the communication message within the service process.

[0032] In this step, after the service process on the distributed node generates a communication message, the target address of the communication message is further obtained within the service process.

[0033] Furthermore, the target address includes an identifier of the target service process; in various embodiments of the present application, the service process on each node has a unique identifier in the distributed system, and the unique identifier includes the network address and machine identifier of the service process.

[0034] Step 206: The service process sends the communication message to the message queue server or to the local message queue service on the current node according to the target address.

[0035] In this step, the service process that generates the communication message further resolves the target address;

[0036] Specifically, the target address is resolved through routing within the service process. If the target address is a local address, the communication message is sent to the local message queue service on the current node.

[0037] Furthermore, the local message queue service on the current node is a message queue service created in the shared memory of the current node.

[0038] Furthermore, in the local message queue service, a message queue is created for each service process, and the service process sends the communication message generated by it to the message queue corresponding to the service process in the local message queue.

[0039] If the destination address is a non-local address, the communication message is sent to a message queue server in the distributed system.

[0040] Specifically, the target address of the communication message includes the identifier of the target service process, and the communication message is allocated to the corresponding message queue in the message queue server according to the above identifier information.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present application, a method for consuming communication messages in a communication method of a distributed service is provided, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes steps 302 to 304:

[0042] Step 302: The service process running on the distributed node monitors the message queue of the local message queue service and the message queue server at the same time;

[0043] In a feasible implementation, the message queue server includes but is not limited to a message queue server implemented by a message middleware such as Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc. When the service process on the distributed node monitors the message queue in the message queue server, it adopts a monitoring method suitable for the selected message middleware.

[0044] In another feasible implementation, the service process on the distributed node monitors the message queue in the local message queue service. Specifically, the address block of the monitored message queue in the shared memory of the current node is obtained according to a preset rule.

[0045] Step 304: When the service process monitors the target message in the message queue, it directly consumes the target message.

[0046] Specifically, when the service process monitors the target message in the message queue, it obtains the message and directly executes the business logic according to the message.

[0047] The following is combined with Figure 4 The above-mentioned embodiment will be described in detail.

[0048] In such Figure 4 The communication system of a distributed service shown includes multiple distributed nodes and at least one message queue server.

[0049] exist Figure 4 In a distributed service communication system, at least one service process 1 is running on node 1; the service process 1 is one of the processes used to complete a specified business logic, such as completing a battle in a game.

[0050] Specifically, when service process 1 executes the specified business logic, it generates a communication message A. Further, the target address of communication message A is parsed in service process 1. When the target address is local to node 1, such as Figure 4 Service process n in node 1 sends communication message A to the local message queue of node 1 through routing. This message queue is created in the shared memory of node 1. When the target address is not local to node 1, that is, when the target address is the address of another node in the distributed system, in this specific embodiment, assuming that the target address of communication message A is service process 1 on node 2, communication message A is sent to the corresponding queue of the message queue server through routing within service process 1.

[0051] exist Figure 4 In the distributed service communication system, node 2 also runs at least one service process 1'; the service process 1' is one of the processes used to complete the specified business logic. The service process 1' monitors the specified queue of the message queue server and the local message queue of node 2 at the same time. When a new message appears in the above message queue, the service process 1' directly obtains the message for consumption. Assuming that the service process 1', as a remote target service process, monitors the communication message A sent by the above service process 1 to the message queue server, it obtains the communication message A and consumes the message. Assuming that the service process 1' monitors the communication message B in the local message queue of node 2, it obtains the communication message B from the local message queue and consumes the message.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should be aware that in the above-mentioned communication method and system for distributed services, the service processes on all nodes have the above-mentioned function of implementing communication between service processes, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In response to the efficiency problems caused by the centralized deployment method adopted in the communication between distributed services in the prior art, in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, a communication method between distributed service processes is implemented through a dual message queue method. The target address of the message generated by the service process is identified in each service process. If the target address is a local service process, the message is routed to the local message queue implemented based on shared memory. If the target address is a remote service process, the message is routed to the message queue server on the distributed system. In this way, the consumption of local messages only requires a memory copy operation, and there is no need for packaging and unpacking under the network protocol, thereby improving the execution efficiency of the process. At the same time, the use of dual message queues also realizes the decoupling between distributed services, and there is no need for strong business coupling between the service processes.
