Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 从零开始(十三)——orderer分布式方案

简述

在搭建HyperLedger Fabric环境的过程中,我们会用到一个configtx.yaml文件(可参考Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 从零开始(八)——Fabric多节点集群生产部署),该配置文件主要用于构建创世区块(在构建创世区块之前需要先创建与之对应的所有节点的验证文件集合),其中在配置Orderer信息中有一个OrdererType参数,该参数可配置为"solo" and "kafka",之前博文所讲的环境配置皆是solo,即单节点共识。

本文主要介绍的是采用kafka(分布式队列)方式实现的共识方案。
使用kafka集群配置的原因也很简单,为orderer共识及排序服务提供足够的容错空间,当我们向peer节点提交Transaction的时候,peer节点会得到或返回(基于SDK)一个读写集结果,该结果会发送给orderer节点进行共识和排序,此时如果orderer节点突然down掉,致使请求服务失效而引发的数据丢失等问题,且目前的sdk对orderer发送的Transaction的回调会占用极长的时间,当大批量数据导入的时候该回调可认为不可用。

固此,在部署生产环境时,需要对orderer进行容错处理,而所谓的容错即搭建一个orderer节点集群,该集群会依赖于kafka和zookeeper。

 

crypto-config.yaml

该文件在之前介绍过,将被crytogen工具调用,文件中包括了网络拓扑,同时允许我们给organization以及component(隶属于organization的组件)生成一个证书与私钥的集合。每一个organization被分配一个唯一的根证书(绑定了隶属于organization的具体的component,包括peers与orderers)。Hyperledger Fabric的transaction与通信均被节点的私钥(keystore)进行签名,截止被公钥进行验证(signcerts)。

在crypto-comfig中有一个OrdererOrgs配置,在该配置中我们可以设置当前Fabric生产中允许的最大orderer节点数量及名称,具体在OrdererOrgs-Specs中进行设置,如下图所示:

Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 从零开始(十三)——orderer分布式方案

在上述配置中,我们假定设置了三台orderer节点服务器,这个数量根据自身平台可自行设置。

随后,我们可以通过如下命令来生成我们需要的验证文件信息集:

./bin/cryptogen generate --config=./crypto-config.yaml

该信息集在ordererOrganizations目录下,通过浏览该目录下组织机构目录下的orderers目录,我们可以看到如下图所示结构:

Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 从零开始(十三)——orderer分布式方案

即生成所有我们所需的orderer节点验证文件。

 

configtx.yaml

该文件即本文开头所述文件,用于构建创世区块所需文件。

结合crypto-comfig文件的配置内容,既然指定并创建了三个orderer节点服务配置,则根据上述配置结果,我们来定义configtx文件中的Orderer配置信息,具体参考如下:

该配置文件中的主要设置都做了注释,可参考注释来对自己的生产平台进行设定,另外OrdererType的value需设置成kafka。

在完成crypto-comfig和configtx配置后,接下来就需要配置zookeeper、kafka和orderer的启动yaml文件了。

 

zookeeper

zookeeper的yaml文件配置主要约定了集群内彼此的端口信息,官方的demo已经比较详细了,这里贴出配置内容如下:

 6 # 1、选举Leader。
 7 # 2、同步数据。
 8 # 3、选举Leader过程中算法有很多,但要达到的选举标准是一致的。

10 # 5、集群中大多数的机器得到响应并follow选出的Leader。

53      - "kafka3:xx.x.x.xxx"
54      - "kafka3:xx.x.x.xxxx"

zookeeper集群将会是3个、5个或7个,它的值需要是一个奇数避免split-brain情况,同时选择大于1的值为了避免单点故障。超过7个zookeeper servers会被认为overkill。

这里给出了zookeeper1的配置文件,其它2、3…等配置文件内容类似,其中的ID禁止相同。

 

kafka

kafka的配置信息与zookeeper和orderer都息息相关,具体都已经写在注释中了,如还有疑问可留言提问,具体的kafka1的yaml如下:

kafka至少需要4台服务器来构成集群,这是为了满足crash容错的最小节点数。如果有4个代理,那么可以容错一个代理崩溃,一个代理停止服务后,channel仍然可以继续读写,新的channel可以被创建。

如配置信息中注释所示,最小写入同步的副本数量大于1,即最小为2;

如配置信息中注释所示,默认副本保存channel信息的数量,必须大于最小写入同步的副本数量,即最小值3;

若要保证容错,即kafka集群最少需要4台服务器来保证,此时允许一个代理出现问题。

 

orderer

orderer服务节点配置信息相对于solo有些变化,主要是新增了部分参数,如下所示:

启动顺序

基于zookeeper和kafka的集群方案,启动顺序主要跟随依赖,先启动zookeeper集群,随后启动kafka集群,最后启动orderer集群。

 

各位如果还有不明白的地方,可以参考官方demo,具体可以在fabric/bddtests目录中找到dc-orderer-kafka-base.yml和dc-orderer-kafka.yml两个配置文件。

 

关于15楼romeovan的回复,提至此处,以便更多朋友能够看到:

还有个问题,想提醒下各位,在hyperledger的zookeeper分布式部署到多台服务器的时候,需要在docker-compose的zookeeper配置中修改参数:
ZOO_SERVERS后面加上quorumListenOnAllIPs=true,不然很可能会抛出异常:This ZooKeeper instance is not currently serving requests
因为不设置这个参数,zookeeper只会访问第一块网卡即127.0.0.1会把此网卡的端口开启监听,不会开启实际ip的网卡的端口监听

参阅18楼Will.Hu使用TLS跑通的方案,该层主已提供git地址,如下:
