ZK介绍
ZK = zookeeper
ZK是微服务解决方案中拥有服务注册发现最为核心的环境，是微服务的基石。作为服务注册发现模块，并不是只有ZK一种产品，目前得到行业认可的还有：Eureka、Consul。
这里我们只聊ZK，这个工具本身很小zip包就几兆，安装非常傻瓜，能够支持集群部署。
官网地址：https://zookeeper.apache.org/
背景
在集群环境下ZK的leader&follower的概念，已经节点异常ZK面临的问题以及如何解决。ZK本身是java语言开发，也开源到Github上但官方文档对内部介绍的很少，零散的博客很多，有些写的很不错。
提问：
ZK节点状态角色
ZK集群单节点状态（每个节点有且只有一个状态），ZK的定位一定需要一个leader节点处于lading状态。
- looking：寻找leader状态，当前集群没有leader，进入leader选举流程。
- following：跟随者状态，接受leading节点同步和指挥。
- leading：领导者状态。
- observing：观察者状态，表名当前服务器是observer。
ZAB协议（原子广播）
Zookeeper专门设计了一种名为原子广播（ZAB）的支持崩溃恢复的一致性协议。ZK实现了一种主从模式的系统架构来保持集群中各个副本之间的数据一致性，所有的写操作都必须通过Leader完成，Leader写入本地日志后再复制到所有的Follower节点。一旦Leader节点无法工作，ZAB协议能够自动从Follower节点中重新选出一个合适的替代者，即新的Leader，该过程即为领导选举。
ZK集群中事务处理是leader负责，follower会转发到leader来统一处理。简单理解就是ZK的写统一leader来做，读可以follower处理，这也就是CAP理论中ZK更适合读多写少的服务。
过半选举算法
ZK投票处理策略
投票信息包含 ：所选举leader的Serverid，Zxid，SelectionEpoch
- Epoch判断，自身logicEpoch与SelectionEpoch判断：大于、小于、等于。
- 优先检查ZXID。ZXID比较大的服务器优先作为Leader。
- 如果ZXID相同，那么就比较myid。myid较大的服务器作为Leader服务器。
ZK中有三种选举算法，分别是LeaderElection,FastLeaderElection,AuthLeaderElection，FastLeaderElection和AuthLeaderElection是类似的选举算法，唯一区别是后者加入了认证信息， FastLeaderElection比LeaderElection更高效，后续的版本只保留FastLeaderElection。
理解：
在集群环境下多个节点启动，ZK首先需要在多个节点中选出一个节点作为leader并处于Leading状态，这样就面临一个选举问题，同时选举规则是什么样的。“过半选举算法”：投票选举中获得票数过半的节点胜出，即状态从looking变为leading，效率更高。
官网资料描述：Clustered (Multi-Server) Setup，如下图：
As long as a majority of the ensemble are up, the service will be available. Because Zookeeper requires a majority, it is best to use an odd number of machines. For example, with four machines ZooKeeper can only handle the failure of a single machine; if two machines fail, the remaining two machines do not constitute a majority. However, with five machines ZooKeeper can handle the failure of two machines.
以5台服务器讲解思路：
- 服务器1启动,此时只有它一台服务器启动了,它发出去的Vote没有任何响应,所以它的选举状态一直是LOOKING状态；
- 服务器2启动,它与最开始启动的服务器1进行通信,互相交换自己的选举结果,由于两者都没有历史数据,所以id值较大的服务器2胜出,但是由于没有达到超过半数以上的服务器都同意选举它(这个例子中的半数以上是3),所以服务器1,2还是继续保持LOOKING状态.
- 服务器3启动,根据前面的理论，分析有三台服务器选举了它,服务器3成为服务器1,2,3中的老大,所以它成为了这次选举的leader.
- 服务器4启动,根据前面的分析，理论上服务器4应该是服务器1,2,3,4中最大的,但是由于前面已经有半数以上的服务器选举了服务器3,所以它只能接收当小弟的命了.
- 服务器5启动,同4一样,当小弟.
假设5台中挂了2台（3、4），其中leader也挂掉：
leader和follower间有检查心跳，需要同步数据 Leader节点挂了，整个Zookeeper集群将暂停对外服务，进入新一轮Leader选举
1）服务器1、2、5发现与leader失联，状态转为looking，开始新的投票 2）服务器1、2、5分别开始投票并广播投票信息，自身Epoch自增； 3) 服务器1、2、5分别处理投票，判断出leader分别广播 4）根据投票处理逻辑会选出一台（2票过半） 5）各自服务器重新变更为leader、follower状态 6）重新提供服务

脑裂问题
脑裂问题出现在集群中leader死掉，follower选出了新leader而原leader又复活了的情况下，因为ZK的过半机制是允许损失一定数量的机器而扔能正常提供给服务，当leader死亡判断不一致时就会出现多个leader。
方案：
ZK的过半机制一定程度上也减少了脑裂情况的出现，起码不会出现三个leader同时。ZK中的Epoch机制（时钟）每次选举都是递增+1，当通信时需要判断epoch是否一致，小于自己的则抛弃，大于自己则重置自己，等于则选举；
// If notification > current, replace and send messages out
if (n.electionEpoch > logicalclock.get()) {
logicalclock.set(n.electionEpoch);
recvset.clear();
if (totalOrderPredicate(n.leader, n.zxid, n.peerEpoch, getInitId(), getInitLastLoggedZxid(), getPeerEpoch())) {
updateProposal(n.leader, n.zxid, n.peerEpoch);
} else {
updateProposal(getInitId(), getInitLastLoggedZxid(), getPeerEpoch());
}
sendNotifications();
} else if (n.electionEpoch < logicalclock.get()) {
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
LOG.debug(
"Notification election epoch is smaller than logicalclock. n.electionEpoch = 0x" + Long.toHexString(n.electionEpoch)
+ ", logicalclock=0x" + Long.toHexString(logicalclock.get()));
}
break;
} else if (totalOrderPredicate(n.leader, n.zxid, n.peerEpoch, proposedLeader, proposedZxid, proposedEpoch)) {
updateProposal(n.leader, n.zxid, n.peerEpoch);
sendNotifications();
}
归纳
在日常的ZK运维时需要注意以上场景在极端情况下出现问题，特别是脑裂的出现，可以采用：
过半选举策略下部署原则：
- 服务器群部署要单数，如：3、5、7、...，单数是最容易选出leader的配置量。
- ZK允许节点最大损失数，原则就是“保证过半选举正常”，多了就是浪费。
详细的算法逻辑是很复杂要考虑很多情况，其中有个Epoch的概念（自增长），分为：LogicEpoch和ElectionEpoch，每次投票都有判断每个投票周期是否一致等等。
在思考ZK策略时经常遇到这样的问题（上文中两块），梳理了一下思路以便于理解也作为后续回顾，特别感谢下面几篇博文的支持，感谢分享；
