再谈AsyncHttpClient

以前曾经说过为何我们不使用AsyncHttpClient,当时主要是从需求出发,性能上不需要。不过在业务做活动推广的场景下,性能上是必须要考虑的;另外在Actor模型里,要调用第三方的http接口,为了避免Actor收发消息的底层线程池被阻塞也必须用异步的方式。在去年年底我们的一次活动,Akka里使用AsyncHttpClient(1.9版本)已经很好的验证过它们的组合以及惊诧的性能了。

最近看到AsyncHttpClient在2.0后被重构了,包名从com.ning变为了org.asynchttpclient,里面的一些类也有所重构,也升级了所依赖的netty的版本。最近正好一些新项目里调用第三方的http接口,尝试了一下新的AsyncHttpClient,结果发现它的readTimeout参数并不work,下面是两个版本的测试程序:

import com.ning.http.client.AsyncCompletionHandler;
import com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig;
import com.ning.http.client.Response;

public class AsyncV1Test {

    static class MyCallback extends AsyncCompletionHandler<Boolean> {

        @Override
        public Boolean onCompleted(Response response) throws Exception {
            System.out.println(response.getResponseBody());
            return true;
        }

        public void onThrowable(Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace(System.err);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        AsyncHttpClientConfig cfg = new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().setReadTimeout(100).build();
        com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient cli = new com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient(cfg);
        cli.prepareGet("http://localhost:8080/sleep?time=200").execute(new MyCallback());

        // wait and quit
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        cli.close();
    }
}

上面是老版本的com.ning的客户端的readTimeout测试,设置的是100毫秒,请求的url在server端会sleep 200毫秒,超时的异常符合预期:

java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Read timeout to localhost/127.0.0.1:8080 of 100 ms
    at com.ning.http.client.providers.netty.request.timeout.TimeoutTimerTask.expire(TimeoutTimerTask.java:47)
    at com.ning.http.client.providers.netty.request.timeout.ReadTimeoutTimerTask.run(ReadTimeoutTimerTask.java:57)
    at org.jboss.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer$HashedWheelTimeout.expire(HashedWheelTimer.java:556)
    at org.jboss.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer$HashedWheelBucket.expireTimeouts(HashedWheelTimer.java:632)
    at org.jboss.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer$Worker.run(HashedWheelTimer.java:369)
    at org.jboss.netty.util.ThreadRenamingRunnable.run(ThreadRenamingRunnable.java:108)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

在新版本的org.asynchttpclient里测试同样的逻辑:

import org.asynchttpclient.AsyncCompletionHandler;
import org.asynchttpclient.DefaultAsyncHttpClient;
import org.asynchttpclient.DefaultAsyncHttpClientConfig;
import org.asynchttpclient.Response;

public class AsyncV2Test {

    static class MyCallback extends AsyncCompletionHandler<Boolean> {

        @Override
        public Boolean onCompleted(Response response) throws Exception {
            System.out.println(response.getResponseBody());
            return true;
        }

        public void onThrowable(Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace(System.err);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

        DefaultAsyncHttpClientConfig cfg = new DefaultAsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().setReadTimeout(100).build();
        org.asynchttpclient.AsyncHttpClient cli = new DefaultAsyncHttpClient(cfg);
        cli.prepareGet("http://localhost:8080/sleep?time=200").execute(new MyCallback());

        // wait and quit
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        cli.close();
    }
}       

却没有发生超时的异常,而是正常打印出了最终的请求结果。估计是新版本重构后所带来的bug,我还是回退到老的com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient

    • 多谢你提交给他们,看到作者已经修复了,很低级的错误,居然是小于号写成了大于号。

  1. 其实可以用okhttp,手机端服务端都可以用,短小精悍,同步异步都可以。
