dubbo的负载均衡策略之RandomLoadBalance加权随机策略源码分析

背景

剖析dubbo源码，发现dubbo提供了五种负载均衡策略，分别是

• 一致性Hash平衡策略：ConsistentHashLoadBalance
• 加权随机策略：RandomLoadBalance
• 最少活跃策略：LeastActiveLoadBalance
• 加权轮询策略：RoundRobinLoadBalance
• 最短响应时间策略：ShortestResponseLoadBalance

现在先分析最简单的加权平均策略——RandomLoadBalance

/**
 * This class select one provider from multiple providers randomly.
 * You can define weights for each provider:
 * If the weights are all the same then it will use random.nextInt(number of invokers).
 * If the weights are different then it will use random.nextInt(w1 + w2 + ... + wn)
 * Note that if the performance of the machine is better than others, you can set a larger weight.
 * If the performance is not so good, you c
