java - 在 Web 应用程序中使用 RxJava Observables 无法解释的缺乏性能改进

Question

我正在执行一些测试，以评估使用基于 Observables 的响应式(Reactive) API 而非传统的阻塞式 API 是否具有真正的优势。

整个例子是available on Githug

令人惊讶的结果表明thoughput结果是:

• 最好的:返回包装阻塞操作的 Callable/DeferredResult 的 REST 服务。

  <

• 还不错:阻止 REST 服务。

• 最差:返回 DeferredResult 的 REST 服务，其结果由 RxJava Observable 设置。

这是我的 Spring WebApp:

应用:

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringNioRestApplication {

   @Bean
    public ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor(){
        ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolTaskExecutor();
        executor.setCorePoolSize(10);
        executor.setMaxPoolSize(20);
        return executor;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SpringNioRestApplication.class, args);
    }
}

同步 Controller :

@RestController("SyncRestController")
@Api(value="", description="Synchronous data controller")
public class SyncRestController {

    @Autowired
    private DataService dataService;

    @RequestMapping(value="/sync/data", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
    @ApiOperation(value = "Gets data", notes="Gets data synchronously")
    @ApiResponses(value={@ApiResponse(code=200, message="OK")})
    public List<Data> getData(){
        return dataService.loadData();
    }
}

AsyncController:具有原始的 Callable 和 Observable 端点

@RestController
@Api(value="", description="Synchronous data controller")
public class AsyncRestController {

    @Autowired
    private DataService dataService;

    private Scheduler scheduler;

    @Autowired
    private TaskExecutor executor;

     @PostConstruct
    protected void initializeScheduler(){
        scheduler = Schedulers.from(executor);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/async/data", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
    @ApiOperation(value = "Gets data", notes="Gets data asynchronously")
    @ApiResponses(value={@ApiResponse(code=200, message="OK")})
    public Callable<List<Data>> getData(){
        return ( () -> {return dataService.loadData();} );
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/observable/data", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
     @ApiOperation(value = "Gets data through Observable", notes="Gets data asynchronously through Observable")
     @ApiResponses(value={@ApiResponse(code=200, message="OK")})
     public DeferredResult<List<Data>> getDataObservable(){
         DeferredResult<List<Data>> dr = new DeferredResult<List<Data>>();
         Observable<List<Data>> dataObservable = dataService.loadDataObservable();
         dataObservable.subscribeOn(scheduler).subscribe( dr::setResult, dr::setErrorResult);
         return dr;
     }
}

DataServiceImpl

@Service
public class DataServiceImpl implements DataService{

    @Override
    public List<Data> loadData() {
        return generateData();
    }

    @Override
    public Observable<List<Data>> loadDataObservable() {
        return Observable.create( s -> {
            List<Data> dataList = generateData();
            s.onNext(dataList);
            s.onCompleted();
        });
    }

    private List<Data> generateData(){
        List<Data> dataList = new ArrayList<Data>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
            Data data = new Data("key"+i, "value"+i);
            dataList.add(data);
        }
        //Processing time simulation
        try {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return dataList;
    }
}

我设置了 Thread.sleep(500) 延迟以增加服务响应时间。

负载测试的结果是:

Async with Callable:700 rps，无错误

阻塞:大约 404 rps 但产生错误

Async with Observable:不超过 20 rps，更快出错

Observable 以 10 的 corePoolSize 执行，但将其增加到 50 也没有任何改善。

有什么解释？

更新:根据 akarnokd 的建议，我进行了以下更改。在服务中从 Object.create 移动到 Object.fromCallable 并在 Controller 中重用了 Scheduler，但我仍然得到相同的结果。

Answer 1

问题是由某个时刻的编程错误引起的。实际上，问题中的示例非常有效。

一个警告，以防止其他人遇到问题:小心使用 Observable.just(func)，func 实际上是在创建 Observable 时调用的。所以任何放置在那里的 Thread.sleep 都会阻塞调用线程

@Override
public Observable<List<Data>> loadDataObservable() {
    return Observable.just(generateData()).delay(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
}

private List<Data> generateData(){
    List<Data> dataList = new ArrayList<Data>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        Data data = new Data("key"+i, "value"+i);
        dataList.add(data);
    }
    return dataList;
}

我在 RxJava Google group 开始讨论他们帮我解决了这个问题。
