sentinel context组件源码分析

前言

Context组件在sentinel中扮演的是一种什么样的角色呢？借用原作者的注释：

This class holds metadata of current invocation

其实就是保存一次资源访问链路元数据的类，链路的各个节点都能通过获取链路绑定的context来获取一些信息进行相应的处理。很多涉及链路的框架都会有类似设计，例如netty的ChannelHandlerContext，go语言网络包中的context等等。下面通过源码分析sentinel中Context的创建和使用流程。

Context结构

com.alibaba.csp.sentinel.context.Context

public class Context {
   

    /**
     * Context name.
     */
    private final String name;

    /**
     * The entrance node of current invocation tree.
     */
    private DefaultNode entranceNode;

    /**
     * Current processing entry.
     */
    private Entry curEntry;

    /**
     * The origin of this context (usually indicate different invokers, e.g. service consumer name or origin IP).
     */
    private String origin = "";

    private final boolean async;

    ...

Context类主要由五个成员变量组成，分别是

• name，一般是访问的资源名
• entranceNode，就是记录当次链路流控信号量的node
• curEntry，当前Context所属的entry
• origin, 资源访问者信息
• async，是否异步

Context创建

Context通常通过ContextUtil的enter方法创建，我们可以先看下ContextUtil类的源码
com.alibaba.csp.sentinel.context.ContextUtil

public class ContextUtil {
   

    /**
     * Store the context in ThreadLocal for easy access.
     */
    private static ThreadLocal<Context> contextHolder = new ThreadLocal<>();

    /**
     * Holds all {@link EntranceNode}. Each {@link EntranceNode} is associated with a distinct context name.
     */
    private static volatile Map<String, DefaultNode> contextNameNodeMap = new HashMap<>();

    private static final ReentrantLock LOCK = new ReentrantLock();
    private static final Context NULL_CONTEXT = new NullContext();

    static {
   
        // Cache the entrance node for default context.
        initDefaultContext();
    }

    private static void initDefaultContext() {
   
        String defaultContextName = Constants.CONTEXT_DEFAULT_NAME;
        EntranceNode node = new EntranceNode(new Str
