This commit aligns the naming of the Bazel Maven jars with the names
used by Bazel's migration-tooling project:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/migration-tooling
Unfortunately, we can't fix @com_google_protobuf_java because it's
required by Bazel itself.
Fixes#3328
Coupled with the similar change on server-side, this removes the need for a
thread when using Netty. For InProcess and OkHttp, it would allow us to let the
user to provide the scheduler for tests or application-wide thread sharing.
Class.forName(String) is understood by ProGuard, removing the need for
manual ProGuard configuration and allows ProGuard to rename the provider
classes. Previously the provider classes could not be renamed.
Fixes#2633
Bazel third party dependencies are specified in repositories.bzl which
gives the consumer the ability to opt-out of any dependencies they use
directly in their own project.
Fixes#2756
AbstractManagedChannelImplBuilder accepts an overrideAuthority parameter, but this value is not hooked up to the name resolver object. Ultimately, Channel.authority consults with the NameResolver, so the overrideAuthority should be hooked into the NameResolverFactory, while all other functionality should be preserved.
Also, add unit tests for all the variants of OkHttpChannelBuilder and NettyChannelBuilder constructors, namely to test the slightly different NettyChannelBuilder(SocketAddress) code path.
Fixes#2682
Background
==========
LoadBalancer needs to track RPC measurements and status for
load-reporting. We need to introduce a "Tracer" API for that.
Since such API is very close to the current
Census(instrumentation)-based stats reporting mechanism in terms of what
are recorded, we will migrate the Census-based stats reporting under the
new Tracer API.
Alternatives
============
We considered plumbing the LB-related information from the LoadBalancer
to the core, and recording those information along with the currently
recorded stats to Census. The LB-related information, such as LB_ID,
reason for dropping reqeusts etc, would be added to the Census
StatsContext as tags.
Since tags are held by StatsContext before eventually being recorded by
providing the measurements, and StatsContext is immutable, this would
require a way for LoadBalancer to override the StatsContext, which means
LoadBalancer API would has direct reference to the Census StatsContext.
This is undesirable because Census API is not stable yet.
Part of the LB-related information is whether the client has received
the initial headers from the server. While such information can be
grabbed by implementing a ClientInterceptor, it must be recorded along
with other information such as LB_ID to be useful, and LB_ID is only
available in GrpclbLoadBalancer.
Bottom line, trying to use solely the Census StatsContext API to record
LB load information would require extra data plumbing channel between
ClientInterceptor, LoadBalancer and the gRPC core, as well as exposing
Census API on the gRPC API. Even with those extensive changes, we are
yet to find a working solution. Therefore, we abandoned this idea and
propose this PR.
Summary of changes
==================
API summary
-----------
Introduce "StreamTracer" API, a callback interface for receiving stats
and tracing related updates concerning **a single stream**.
"ClientStreamTracer" and "ServerStreamTracer" add side-specific
events. A stream can have zero or more tracers and report to all of
them.
On the client-side, CallOptions now takes a list of
ClientStreamTracer.Factory. Opon creating a ClientStream, each of the
factory creates a ClientStreamTracer for the stream. This allows
ClientInterceptors to install its own tracer factories by overriding the
CallOptions.
Since StreamTracer only tracks the span of a stream, tracking of a
ClientCall needs to be done in a ClientInterceptor. By installing its
own StreamTracer when a ClientCall is created, ClientInterceptor can
associate the updates for a Call with the updates for the Streams
created for that Call. This is how we keep the existing Census
reporting mechanism in CensusStreamTracerModule.
On the server-side, ServerStreamTracer.Factory is added through the
ServerBuilder, and is used to create ServerStreamTracers for every
ServerStream.
The Tracer API supports propagation of stats/tracing information through
Context and metadata. Both client-side and server-side tracer factories
have access to the headers object. Client-side tracer relies on
interceptor to read the Context, while server-side tracer has
filterContext() method that can override the Context.
Implementation details
----------------------
Only real streams report stats. Pseudo streams such as delayed stream,
failing stream don't report. InProcess transport streams currently
don't report stats.
"StatsTraceContext" which used to receive updates from core and report
directly to Census (StatsContext), now delegates to the StreamTracers of
a stream. On the client-side, the scope of a StatsTraceContext reduces
from ClientCall to a ClientStream to match the scope of StreamTracer.
The Census-specific logic that was in StatsTraceContext is moved into
CensusStreamTracerModule, which produces factories for StreamTracers
that report to Census.
Reporting with StatsTraceContext is moved out of the Channel/Call layer
into Transport/Stream layer, to match the scope change of
StatsTraceContext.
Bug fixed
----------------
The end of a server-side call was reported in ServerCallImpl's
ServerStreamListenerImpl.closed(), which was wrong. Because closed()
receiving OK doesn't necessarily mean the RPC ended with OK. Instead it
means the server has successfully sent the final status, which may be
non-OK, to the client.
Now the end report is done in both ServerStream.close(any Status) and
before calling ServerStreamListener.closed(non-OK). Whichever happens
first is the reported status.
TODOs
=====
A follow-up change to the LoadBalancer API will add a
ClientStreamTracer.Factory to the PickResult to complete the API needed
by load-reporting.
`keepAlivedManager#onTransportshutdown` should not be called in `transport.shutdown()` because it is possible that there are still open RPC streams, and maybe inactive, so keepalive is still needed.
fix JavaStyle and ErrorProne warnings found in internal weekly import:
- Calls to ExpectedException#expect should always be followed by exactly one statement.
- Do not mock 'java.util.concurrent.Future'
ErrorProne provides static analysis for common issues, including
misused variables GuardedBy locks.
This increases build time by 60% for parallel builds and 30% for
non-parallel, so I've provided a way to disable the check. It is on by
default though and will be run in our CI environments.
The new plugin uses a newer version of animalsniffer, allows overriding
the animalsniffer version used, and has up-to-date handling. The
up-to-date handling cuts fully incremental parallel build times in half,
from 5.5s to 2.7s.
The previous plugin was supposed to be verifying tests. However, either
it wasn't verifying them or its verification was broken.
This is needed because in interceptor tests, often the types cannot
be changed. The void methods stay for users who are writing tests
where they actually don't care about types. The noop methods
require types to be specified. This is for users who don't care
about the implementation. These represent different levels of
commitment.
This eases the transition of code Mocking MethodDescriptor, which
breaks in this release.
This is a squash and modification of master commits that also includes:
netty,okhttp: Fix CONNECT and its error handling
This commit has been modified to reduce its size to substantially reduce
risk of it breaking Netty error handling. But that also means proxy
error handling just provides a useless "there was an error" sort of
message.
There is no Java API to enable the proxy support. Instead, you must set
the GRPC_PROXY_EXP environment variable which should be set to a
host:port string. The environment variable is temporary; it will not
exist in future releases. It exists to provide support without needing
explicit code to enable the future, while at the same time not risking
enabling it for existing users.
add `getAttributes()` to `ClientStream` and `ClientCall` to be able to share clientTransport
information such as socket TOS with higher lever API's, once the RPC picks up an active transport that is ready to use.
