上一章的最后,为大家介绍了Glance服务的对外启动接口/bin/glance-api,其中最用要的部分就是通过server = eventlet.wsgi.Server()生成了一个http server,并通过server.start()启动了一个WSGI程序。
首先为大家说说这个WSGI程序的作用。WSGI(web server gateway interface)web服务器网关接口。简单来说,WSGI的作用就是将client发给web server的请求转发给要实际处理这个请求的程序。
WSGI在Python中有官方的参考实现wsgiref,http://docs.python.org/2/library/wsgiref.html#module-wsgiref。
- from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
-
- # Every WSGI application must have an application object - a callable
- # object that accepts two arguments. For that purpose, we're going to
- # use a function (note that you're not limited to a function, you can
- # use a class for example). The first argument passed to the function
- # is a dictionary containing CGI-style envrironment variables and the
- # second variable is the callable object (see PEP 333).
- def hello_world_app(environ, start_response):
- status = '200 OK' # HTTP Status
- headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')] # HTTP Headers
- start_response(status, headers)
-
- # The returned object is going to be printed
- return ["Hello World"]
-
- httpd = make_server('', 8000, hello_world_app)
- print "Serving on port 8000..."
-
- # Serve until process is killed
- httpd.serve_forever()
复制代码
参考流程大概就是server中定义一个start_response()函数,返回值为一个write()函数,用来返回给client的响应。application函数要实现两个接口参数,environ和start_response(),前者就是服务器server传递过来的request请求,application控制后者将程序的返回值发回给web server。
这并不是本文所要讨论的重点,如有兴趣可自行做引申阅读。下面我们分析openstack中wsgi接口的实现,/glance/common/wsgi.py
- class Server(object):
- """Server class to manage multiple WSGI sockets and applications."""

大家可能看了代码之后又觉得头痛,其实没关系,前面有许多行无非是设置log写入程序,打开conf读取ip,port等信息,最重要的内容就是代码最后几行中的
- self.pool = self.create_pool()
- eventlet.wsgi.server(self.sock,self.application,log=WritableLogger(self.logger),custom_pool=self.pool)
复制代码
刚才提到了server和application之间的通讯接口WSGI,现在我们要讲讲server。OpenStack并没有使用Python标准库中的BaseHTTPServer,而是使用了在网络并发等领域处理效率非常优异的eventlet库http://eventlet.net/。
eventlet提供了一套API以实现“协程”(coroutines)。所谓的“协程”可以简单的看做是“假线程”,他可以实现线程的非阻塞异步IO调用的功能,但是协程没有独立的堆栈,这和线程有自己独立的堆栈是有区别的。eventlet会维护一个协程“池”,用来存放所有创建的协程。但是不同于线程,协程同时只能有一个实例在运行,其他的协程要运行,必须等待当前协程显式的被挂起。不同于线程的执行顺序随机,协程的执行时按调用顺序的。
OpenStack的服务,没用使用市面上常见的web server的原因大概就是其处理并发无非就是使用多线程或IO复用等。然而,当多客户端并发访问时,OpenStack内部的一些共享资源,并不能十分安全的利用互斥锁等方法进行线程共享资源的互斥。为了防止并发出现资源死锁,简化架构设计流程,采用“协程”是个非常不错的选择。并且,线程间的切换需要大量的时间和空间的开销,而协程可以有效的避免这个问题。
- import eventlet
-
- def handle(client):
- while True:
- c = client.recv(1)
- if not c: break
- client.sendall(c)
-
- server = eventlet.listen(('0.0.0.0', 6000))
- pool = eventlet.GreenPool(10000)
- while True:
- new_sock, address = server.accept()
- pool.spawn_n(handle, new_sock)
复制代码
上面是eventlet一个简单服务器端的示例,首先用eventlet.GreenPool(1000)生成一个最大容量为1000的“协程”缓冲池,server.accept()等待,服务器server端收到一个客户端的连接请求,就用pool.spawn_n()启动一个“协程”进行处理响应。
回到glance中,OpenStack将Python原版的CGIHTTPServer进行“绿化”,提供了eventlet.wsgi.server进行http的响应,其内部实现结构和作用和上面的代码相似,同样都是来一个http请求,就会启动一个协程server进行响应。参数custom_pool就是我们上面刚刚申请的GreenPool协程池。参数self.application为WSGI程序入口。这样我们就成功运行了一个WSGI服务程序。
本章结束,我们已经成功运行启动了Glance的WSGI服务,下一章将会开始具体介绍WSGI程序所使用的请求分发组件Routes和request与response的包装类webob的相关内容。
本章提到了些高并发访问处理方面的相关内容,实际上eventlet协程的设置上也使用了eventlet.hubs.use_hub('poll'),欢迎大家继续展开阅读与讨论Select I/O poll epoll等相关内容。
