FailureDetector

  • FailureDetector接口定义了heartbeat、isAlive、lastHeartbeat、suspicionLevel方法

PhiAccrualFailureDetector

hazelcast-3.12-sources.jar!/com/hazelcast/internal/cluster/fd/PhiAccrualFailureDetector.java

/**
 * Port of Akka's PhiAccrualFailureDetector.scala
 * <p>
 * Implementation of 'The Phi Accrual Failure Detector' by Hayashibara et al. as defined in their paper.
 * <p>
 * The suspicion level of failure is given by a value called φ (phi).
 * The basic idea of the φ failure detector is to express the value of φ on a scale that
 * is dynamically adjusted to reflect current network conditions. A configurable
 * threshold is used to decide if <code>φ</code> is considered to be a failure.
 * <p>
 * The value of <code>φ</code> is calculated as:
 * <p>
 * <code>
 * <pre>
 * φ = -log10(1 - F(timeSinceLastHeartbeat)
 * </pre>
 * </code>
 * where F is the cumulative distribution function of a normal distribution with mean
 * and standard deviation estimated from historical heartbeat inter-arrival times.

  • PhiAccrualFailureDetector实现了FailureDetector接口,其实现是akka的PhiAccrualFailureDetector.scala的java版本
  • φ (phi)为指定值被认定为failure的suspicion level,其计算公式为φ = -log10(1 - CDF(timeSinceLastHeartbeat),其中CDF函数为normal distribution的cumulative distribution function,即正态分布的累积分布函数
  • phi方法使用了β Mathematics Handbook中定义的Logistic approximation公式来近似计算CDF(y)(Error is 0.00014 at +- 3.16),即CDF(y)=1.0 / (1.0 + math.exp(-y * (1.5976 + 0.070566 * y * y))),其中y = (x - mean) / standard_deviation

CDF(y)在x > mean的时候(e<1)将公式转换为φ = -Math.log10(e / (1.0 + e));在x <= mean的时候(e>=1)的采用公式-Math.log10(1.0 - 1.0 / (1.0 + e)),目前还不清楚为何这样区分计算

  • isAlive方法会计算该timestampMillis的phi值,然后与threshold值(hazelcast中默认为10)判断,小于threshold值才判断为live
  • heartbeat方法会先判断该timestampMillis是否live,是的话,再将timestampMillis - lastTimestampMillis值添加到heartbeatHistory
  • 这里的实现增加了acceptableHeartbeatPauseMillis参数,即在最后计算phi值时传入的meanMillis为meanMillis + acceptableHeartbeatPauseMillis
