Apache Kafka源码分析 – Log Management

 

LogManager

LogManager会管理broker上所有的logs（在一个log目录下），一个topic的一个partition对应于一个log（一个log子目录）
首先loadLogs会加载每个partition所对应的log对象， 然后提供createLog，getLog，deleteLog之类的管理接口
并且会创建些后台线程来进行，cleanup，flush，checkpoint生成之类的工作

/**
 * The entry point to the kafka log management subsystem. The log manager is responsible for log creation, retrieval, and cleaning.
 * All read and write operations are delegated to the individual log instances.
 * 
 * The log manager maintains logs in one or more directories. New logs are created in the data directory
 * with the fewest logs. No attempt is made to move partitions after the fact or balance based on
 * size or I/O rate.
 * 
 * A background thread handles log retention by periodically truncating excess log segments.

Log

Log只是对于LogSegments的封装，包含loadSegments，append（到active segment），read（需要定位到相应的segment）

 * An append-only log for storing messages.
 * 
 * The log is a sequence of LogSegments, each with a base offset denoting the first message in the segment.
 * 
 * New log segments are created according to a configurable policy that controls the size in bytes or time interval
 * for a given segment.
 * 
 * @param dir The directory in which log segments are created.
 * @param config The log configuration settings
 * @param recoveryPoint The offset at which to begin recovery--i.e. the first offset which has not been flushed to disk
 * @param scheduler The thread pool scheduler used for background actions
 * @param time The time instance used for checking the clock 
 *

LogSegment

Segment是个逻辑概念，为了防止log文件过大， 将log分成许多的LogSegments
Segment又分为两部分，MessageSet文件和Index文件，分别命名为[base_offset].log和[base_offset].index
base_offset就是该Segment的起始offset，比前一个segment里面的offset都要大

Segment提供对于MessageSet的读写接口
写，需要间隔的更新index文件，应该为了尽量减小index的size，所以只是当写入数据大于indexIntervalBytes时，才增加一条索引
读，由于user传入的是逻辑offest，需要先转化为物理地址才能从文件中读到数据，如何转化参考下面

同时index文件是可以根据MessageSet文件重新rebuild的

/**
 * A segment of the log. Each segment has two components: a log and an index. The log is a FileMessageSet containing
 * the actual messages. The index is an OffsetIndex that maps from logical offsets to physical file positions. Each 
 * segment has a base offset which is an offset <= the least offset of any message in this segment and > any offset in
 * any previous segment.
 * 
 * A segment with a base offset of [base_offset] would be stored in two files, a [base_offset].index and a [base_offset].log file. 
 * 
 * @param log The message set containing log entries
 * @param index The offset index
 * @param baseOffset A lower bound on the offsets in this segment
 * @param indexIntervalBytes The approximate number of bytes between entries in the index
 * @param time The time instance

OffsetIndex

Segment的index文件， 这是0.8后加上的，之前message直接使用物理offset标识
新版本中还是改成了使用逻辑offset，让物理地址对用户透明， 这样就需要一个index来匹配逻辑offset和物理地址
index考虑到效率，最好放在内存中，但是考虑到size问题， 所以使用MappedByteBuffer（参考，Java RandomAccessFile用法 ）
注释里面说，
Index是sparse的，不保证每个message在index都有索引的entry
Index由entry组成，每个entry为8-byte，逻辑offset4-byte，物理地址4-byte
并且逻辑offset是基于base offset的相对offset，否则无法保证只使用4-byte

/**
 * An index that maps offsets to physical file locations for a particular log segment. This index may be sparse:
 * that is it may not hold an entry for all messages in the log.
 *
 * The index is stored in a file that is pre-allocated to hold a fixed maximum number of 8-byte entries.
 *
 * The index supports lookups against a memory-map of this file. These lookups are done using a simple binary search variant
 * to locate the offset/location pair for the greatest offset less than or equal to the target offset.
 *
 * Index files can be opened in two ways: either as an empty, mutable index that allows appends or
 * an immutable read-only index file that has previously been populated. The makeReadOnly method will turn a mutable file into an
 * immutable one and truncate off any extra bytes. This is done when the index file is rolled over.
 *
 * No attempt is made to checksum the contents of this file, in the event of a crash it is rebuilt.
 *
 * The file format is a series of entries. The physical format is a 4 byte "relative" offset and a 4 byte file location for the
 * message with that offset. The offset stored is relative to the base offset of the index file. So, for example,
 * if the base offset was 50, then the offset 55 would be stored as 5. Using relative offsets in this way let's us use
 * only 4 bytes for the offset.
 *
 * The frequency of entries is up to the user of this class.
 *
 * All external APIs translate from relative offsets to full offsets, so users of this class do not interact with the internal
 * storage format.

具体看看如何从逻辑offset转化为物理地址的？

0.8中增加了逻辑offset，那么就需要做逻辑offset和物理地址间的转化
简单的方法，直接用hashmap，cache所有offset，问题就是这样空间耗费比较大
所以kafka的方式，是分段索引，用offset通过二分查找中index中找出段的起始地址，然后再去file里面遍历找出精确的地址， 时间换空间的设计

1. LogSegment.translateOffset
首先是从index文件中找到近似的物理地址
前面说了，index中从效率考虑并不会为每个offset建立索引entry，只会分段建立offset索引， 所以从index中直接可以找到精确物理地址的概率不大，但是可以找到最接近的那个物理地址
如果你觉得index的粒度比较粗，可以直接给出开始查找的startingFilePosition
所以精确的物理地址需要到MessageSet文件里面去继续找

  /**
   * Find the physical file position for the first message with offset >= the requested offset.
   * 
   * The lowerBound argument is an optimization that can be used if we already know a valid starting position
   * in the file higher than the greast-lower-bound from the index.
   * 
   * @param offset The offset we want to translate
   * @param startingFilePosition A lower bound on the file position from which to begin the search. This is purely an optimization and
   * when omitted, the search will begin at the position in the offset index.
   * 
   * @return The position in the log storing the message with the least offset >= the requested offset or null if no message meets this criteria.
   */

    val mapping = index.lookup(offset) //从index查出近似物理地址
    log.searchFor(offset, max(mapping.position, startingFilePosition))
  }

2. FileMessageSet.searchFor
在messageSet中，message的构成是，overhead（MessageSize+Offset）和message
而searchFor的逻辑是从startingPosition开始， 逐条遍历各个message，并从overhead中取出offset进行比较，直到找到target offset为止

  /**
   * Search forward for the file position of the last offset that is greater than or equal to the target offset
   * and return its physical position. If no such offsets are found, return null.
   * @param targetOffset The offset to search for.
   * @param startingPosition The starting position in the file to begin searching from.

    val size = sizeInBytes()
    while(position + MessageSet.LogOverhead < size) { //从postion开始逐条遍历
      buffer.rewind()
      channel.read(buffer, position)

      buffer.rewind()
      val offset = buffer.getLong()
