Flume NG（二）支持运行时动态修改配置的配置模块

在上一篇中讲了Flume NG配置模块基本的接口的类，PropertiesConfigurationProvider提供了基于properties配置文件的静态配置的能力，这篇细说一下PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider提供的运行时动态修改配置并生效的能力。

要实现动态修改配置文件并生效，主要有两个待实现的功能

1. 观察配置文件是否修改

2. 如果修改，将修改的内容通知给观察者

对于第一点，监控配置文件是否修改，Flume NG定义了一个FileWatcherRunnable对象来监控配置文件，启动了一个单独的线程采用定时轮询的方式来监控，轮询频率是30毫秒一次，比较file.lastModified属性与lastChange时间戳，当file.lastModified > lastChange时表示文件被修改

public class FileWatcherRunnable implements Runnable {
 
    private final File file;
    private final CounterGroup counterGroup;
 
    private long lastChange;
 
    public FileWatcherRunnable(File file, CounterGroup counterGroup) {
      super();
      this.file = file;
      this.counterGroup = counterGroup;
      this.lastChange = 0L;
    }
 
    @Override
    public void run() {
      LOGGER.debug("Checking file:{} for changes", file);
 
      counterGroup.incrementAndGet("file.checks");
 
      long lastModified = file.lastModified();
 
      if (lastModified > lastChange) {
        LOGGER.info("Reloading configuration file:{}", file);
 
        counterGroup.incrementAndGet("file.loads");
 
        lastChange = lastModified;
 
        try {
          eventBus.post(getConfiguration());
        } catch (Exception e) {
          LOGGER.error("Failed to load configuration data. Exception follows.",
              e);
        } catch (NoClassDefFoundError e) {
          LOGGER.error("Failed to start agent because dependencies were not " +
              "found in classpath. Error follows.", e);
        } catch (Throwable t) {
          // caught because the caller does not handle or log Throwables
          LOGGER.error("Unhandled error", t);
        }
      }
    }
  }
 
// PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider.start()启动一个单独的线程来监控properties配置文件
 public void start() {
    LOGGER.info("Configuration provider starting");
 
    Preconditions.checkState(file != null,
        "The parameter file must not be null");
 
    executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(
            new ThreadFactoryBuilder().setNameFormat("conf-file-poller-%d")
                .build());
 
    FileWatcherRunnable fileWatcherRunnable =
        new FileWatcherRunnable(file, counterGroup);
 
    executorService.scheduleWithFixedDelay(fileWatcherRunnable, 0, interval,
        TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 
    lifecycleState = LifecycleState.START;
 
    LOGGER.debug("Configuration provider started");
  }

对于第二点，利用Guava EventBus提供的发布订阅模式机制，将配置修改封装成事件传递给Application，来重新加载配置 

// FileWatcherRunnable.run方法 发布配置修改的事件
   eventBus.post(getConfiguration());
 
// Application.main方法来注册事件订阅
      Application application;
      if(reload) {
        EventBus eventBus = new EventBus(agentName + "-event-bus");
        PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider configurationProvider =
            new PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider(agentName,
                configurationFile, eventBus, 30);
        components.add(configurationProvider);
        application = new Application(components);
        eventBus.register(application);
      }
 
 
// Application类采用@Subscribe标注来定义订阅方法，即配置修改后会执行handleConfigurationEvent方法，这个方法是线程安全的
 
@Subscribe
  public synchronized void handleConfigurationEvent(MaterializedConfiguration conf) {
    stopAllComponents();
    startAllComponents(conf);
  }
