Redis源码分析（三十）--- pubsub发布订阅模式

        今天学习了Redis中比较高大上的名词，“发布订阅模式”，发布订阅模式这个词在我最开始接触听说的时候是在JMS(Java Message Service)java消息服务中听说的。这个名次用通俗的一点话说，就是我订阅了这类消息，当只有这类的消息进行广播发送的时候，我才会，其他的消息直接过滤，保证了一个高效的传输效率。下面切入正题，学习一下Redis是如何实现这个发布订阅模式的。先看看里面的简单的API构造；

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Pubsub low level API *----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/void freePubsubPattern(void *p) /* 释放发布订阅的模式 */int listMatchPubsubPattern(void *a, void *b) /* 发布订阅模式是否匹配 */int clientSubscriptionsCount(redisClient *c) /* 返回客户端的所订阅的数量，包括channels + patterns管道和模式 */int pubsubSubscribeChannel(redisClient *c, robj *channel) /* Client订阅一个Channel管道 */int pubsubUnsubscribeChannel(redisClient *c, robj *channel, int notify) /* 取消订阅Client中的Channel */int pubsubSubscribePattern(redisClient *c, robj *pattern) /* Client客户端订阅一种模式 */int pubsubUnsubscribePattern(redisClient *c, robj *pattern, int notify) /* Client客户端取消订阅pattern模式 */int pubsubUnsubscribeAllChannels(redisClient *c, int notify) /* 客户端取消自身订阅的所有Channel */int pubsubUnsubscribeAllPatterns(redisClient *c, int notify) /* 客户端取消订阅所有的pattern模式 */int pubsubPublishMessage(robj *channel, robj *message) /* 为所有订阅了Channel的Client发送消息message *//* ------------PUB/SUB API ---------------- */void subscribeCommand(redisClient *c) /* 订阅Channel的命令 */void unsubscribeCommand(redisClient *c) /* 取消订阅Channel的命令 */void psubscribeCommand(redisClient *c) /* 订阅模式命令 */void punsubscribeCommand(redisClient *c) /* 取消订阅模式命令 */void publishCommand(redisClient *c) /* 发布消息命令 */void pubsubCommand(redisClient *c) /* 发布订阅命令 */

在这里面出现了高频的词Pattern(模式)和Channel(频道,叫管道比较别扭)，也就是说，后续所有的关于发布订阅的东东都是基于这2者展开进行的。现在大致讲解一下在Redis中是如何实现此中模式的:

1.在RedisClient 内部维护了一个pubsub_channels的Channel列表，记录了此客户端所订阅的频道

2.在Server服务端，同样维护着一个类似的变量叫做，pubsub_channels，这是一个dict字典变量，每一个Channel对应着一批订阅了此频道的Client，也就是Channel-->list of Clients

3.当一个Client publish一个message的时候，会先去服务端的pubsub_channels找相应的Channel，遍历里面的Client，然后发送通知，即完成了整个发布订阅模式。

    我们可以简单的看一下Redis订阅一个Channel的方法实现；

/* Subscribe a client to a channel. Returns 1 if the operation succeeded, or * 0 if the client was already subscribed to that channel. *//* Client订阅一个Channel管道 */int pubsubSubscribeChannel(redisClient *c, robj *channel) {    struct dictEntry *de;    list *clients = NULL;    int retval = 0;    /* Add the channel to the client -> channels hash table */    //在Client的字典pubsub_channels中添加Channel    if (dictAdd(c->pubsub_channels,channel,NULL) == DICT_OK) {        retval = 1;        incrRefCount(channel);        /* Add the client to the channel -> list of clients hash table */        //添加Clietn到server中的pubsub_channels，对应的列表中        de = dictFind(server.pubsub_channels,channel);        if (de == NULL) {        //如果此频道的Client列表为空，则创建新列表并添加            clients = listCreate();            dictAdd(server.pubsub_channels,channel,clients);            incrRefCount(channel);        } else {        //否则，获取这个频道的客户端列表，在尾部添加新的客户端            clients = dictGetVal(de);        }        listAddNodeTail(clients,c);    }    /* Notify the client */    //添加给回复客户端    addReply(c,shared.mbulkhdr[3]);    addReply(c,shared.subscribebulk);    addReplyBulk(c,channel);    addReplyLongLong(c,clientSubscriptionsCount(c));    return retval;}

添加操作主要分2部，Client自身的内部维护的pubsub_channels的添加，是一个dict字典对象，然后，是server端维护的pubsub_channels中的client列表的添加。在进行Channel频道的删除的时候，也是执行的这2步骤操作:

/* Unsubscribe a client from a channel. Returns 1 if the operation succeeded, or * 0 if the client was not subscribed to the specified channel. *//* 取消订阅Client中的Channel */int pubsubUnsubscribeChannel(redisClient *c, robj *channel, int notify) {    struct dictEntry *de;    list *clients;    listNode *ln;    int retval = 0;    /* Remove the channel from the client -> channels hash table */    incrRefCount(channel); /* channel may be just a pointer to the same object                            we have in the hash tables. Protect it... */    //字典删除Client中pubsub_channels中的Channel    if (dictDelete(c->pubsub_channels,channel) == DICT_OK) {        retval = 1;        /* Remove the client from the channel -> clients list hash table */        //再移除Channel对应的Client列表        de = dictFind(server.pubsub_channels,channel);        redisAssertWithInfo(c,NULL,de != NULL);        clients = dictGetVal(de);        ln = listSearchKey(clients,c);        redisAssertWithInfo(c,NULL,ln != NULL);        listDelNode(clients,ln);        if (listLength(clients) == 0) {            /* Free the list and associated hash entry at all if this was             * the latest client, so that it will be possible to abuse             * Redis PUBSUB creating millions of channels. */            dictDelete(server.pubsub_channels,channel);        }    }    /* Notify the client */    if (notify) {        addReply(c,shared.mbulkhdr[3]);        addReply(c,shared.unsubscribebulk);        addReplyBulk(c,channel);        addReplyLongLong(c,dictSize(c->pubsub_channels)+                       listLength(c->pubsub_patterns));    }    decrRefCount(channel); /* it is finally safe to release it */    return retval;}

里面还有对应的模式的订阅和取消订阅的操作，原理和channel完全一致，二者的区别在于，pattern是用来匹配的Channel的，这个是什么意思呢。在后面会做出答案，接着看。最后看一个最最核心的方法，客户端发步消息方法:

/* Publish a message *//* 为所有订阅了Channel的Client发送消息message */int pubsubPublishMessage(robj *channel, robj *message) {    int receivers = 0;    struct dictEntry *de;    listNode *ln;    listIter li;    /* Send to clients listening for that channel */    //找到Channel所对应的dictEntry    de = dictFind(server.pubsub_channels,channel);    if (de) {    //获取此Channel对应的客户单列表        list *list = dictGetVal(de);        listNode *ln;        listIter li;        listRewind(list,&li);        while ((ln = listNext(&li)) != NULL) {        //依次取出List中的客户单，添加消息回复            redisClient *c = ln->value;            addReply(c,shared.mbulkhdr[3]);            addReply(c,shared.messagebulk);            addReplyBulk(c,channel);            //添加消息回复            addReplyBulk(c,message);            receivers++;        }    }    /* Send to clients listening to matching channels */    /* 发送给尝试匹配该Channel的客户端消息 */    if (listLength(server.pubsub_patterns)) {        listRewind(server.pubsub_patterns,&li);        channel = getDecodedObject(channel);        while ((ln = listNext(&li)) != NULL) {            pubsubPattern *pat = ln->value;//客户端的模式如果匹配了Channel，也会发送消息            if (stringmatchlen((char*)pat->pattern->ptr,                                sdslen(pat->pattern->ptr),                                (char*)channel->ptr,                                sdslen(channel->ptr),0)) {                addReply(pat->client,shared.mbulkhdr[4]);                addReply(pat->client,shared.pmessagebulk);                addReplyBulk(pat->client,pat->pattern);                addReplyBulk(pat->client,channel);                addReplyBulk(pat->client,message);                receivers++;            }        }        decrRefCount(channel);    }    return receivers;}

pattern的作用就在上面体现了，如果某种pattern匹配了Channel频道，则模式的客户端也会接收消息。在server->pubsub_patterns中，pubsub_patterns是一个list列表，里面的每一个pattern只对应一个Client,就是上面的pat->client，这一点和Channel还是有本质的区别的。讲完发布订阅模式的基本操作后，顺便把与此相关的notify通知类也稍稍讲讲，通知只有3个方法，

/* ----------------- API ------------------- */int keyspaceEventsStringToFlags(char *classes) /* 键值字符类型转为对应的Class类型 */sds keyspaceEventsFlagsToString(int flags) /* 通过输入的flag值类，转为字符类型*/void notifyKeyspaceEvent(int type, char *event, robj *key, int dbid) /* 发布通知方法，分为2类，keySpace的通知，keyEvent的通知 */

涉及到string To flag 和flag To String 的转换，也不知道这个会在哪里用到；

/* Turn a string representing notification classes into an integer * representing notification classes flags xored. * * The function returns -1 if the input contains characters not mapping to * any class. *//* 键值字符类型转为对应的Class类型 */int keyspaceEventsStringToFlags(char *classes) {    char *p = classes;    int c, flags = 0;    while((c = *p++) != '\0') {        switch(c) {        case 'A': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_ALL; break;        case 'g': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_GENERIC; break;        case '$': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_STRING; break;        case 'l': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_LIST; break;        case 's': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_SET; break;        case 'h': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_HASH; break;        case 'z': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_ZSET; break;        case 'x': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_EXPIRED; break;        case 'e': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_EVICTED; break;        case 'K': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_KEYSPACE; break;        case 'E': flags |= REDIS_NOTIFY_KEYEVENT; break;        default: return -1;        }    }    return flags;}

应该是响应键盘输入的类型和Redis类型之间的转换。在notify的方法还有一个event事件的通知方法:

/* The API provided to the rest of the Redis core is a simple function: * * notifyKeyspaceEvent(char *event, robj *key, int dbid); * * 'event' is a C string representing the event name. * 'key' is a Redis object representing the key name. * 'dbid' is the database ID where the key lives.  *//* 发布通知方法，分为2类，keySpace的通知，keyEvent的通知 */ void notifyKeyspaceEvent(int type, char *event, robj *key, int dbid) {    sds chan;    robj *chanobj, *eventobj;    int len = -1;    char buf[24];    /* If notifications for this class of events are off, return ASAP. */    if (!(server.notify_keyspace_events & type)) return;    eventobj = createStringObject(event,strlen(event));        //2种的通知形式，略有差别    /* __keyspace@<db>__:<key> <event> notifications. */    if (server.notify_keyspace_events & REDIS_NOTIFY_KEYSPACE) {        chan = sdsnewlen("__keyspace@",11);        len = ll2string(buf,sizeof(buf),dbid);        chan = sdscatlen(chan, buf, len);        chan = sdscatlen(chan, "__:", 3);        chan = sdscatsds(chan, key->ptr);        chanobj = createObject(REDIS_STRING, chan);        //上述几步操作，组件格式字符串，最后发布消息，下面keyEvent的通知同理        pubsubPublishMessage(chanobj, eventobj);        decrRefCount(chanobj);    }    /* __keyevente@<db>__:<event> <key> notifications. */    if (server.notify_keyspace_events & REDIS_NOTIFY_KEYEVENT) {        chan = sdsnewlen("__keyevent@",11);        if (len == -1) len = ll2string(buf,sizeof(buf),dbid);        chan = sdscatlen(chan, buf, len);        chan = sdscatlen(chan, "__:", 3);        chan = sdscatsds(chan, eventobj->ptr);        chanobj = createObject(REDIS_STRING, chan);        pubsubPublishMessage(chanobj, key);        decrRefCount(chanobj);    }    decrRefCount(eventobj);}

有keySpace和keyEvent的2种事件通知。具体怎么用，等后面碰到的时候在看看。
