Introduction
Etcd is a highly available key-value storage system for shared configuration and service discovery. It is developed by CoreOS for distributed system configuration management and service discovery. To facilitate users to connect to the Etcd system, we provide the Etcd data source plugin, which allows users to easily load configuration data from etcd clusters and use this data in their programs.
Usage
For detailed usage examples, please refer to: Etcd examples。
Dependency
Bazel
-
Import the repository
In the WORKSPACE file of the project, import the cpp-config-etcd repository and its dependencies:
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl", "git_repository") git_repository( name = "trpc_cpp", remote = "https://github.com/trpc-group/trpc-cpp.git", branch = "main", ) load("@trpc_cpp//trpc:workspace.bzl", "trpc_workspace") trpc_workspace() git_repository( name = "cpp-config-etcd", remote = "https://github.com/trpc-ecosystem/cpp-config-etcd.git", branch = "main", ) load("@etcd-provider//trpc:workspace.bzl", "config_etcd_workspace") config_etcd_workspace()
etcd-client-cpp relies on many third-party libraries, and bazel compilation based solely on source code is troublesome. In order to simplify the compilation process, we introduce etcd-client-cpp and its necessary dependent libraries grpc, rest and so on through the way of local libraries. Before compiling, you need to install etcd-client-cpp and related dependencies in /usr/local.
-
Import the plugin
In the target that needs to use Etcd, introduce the "trpc/config/etcd:etcd_provider_api" dependency. For example:
cc_binary( name = "helloworld_server", srcs = ["helloworld_server.cc"], deps = [ "@cpp-config-etcd//trpc/config/etcd:etcd_provider", ... ], )
Cmake
Not supported yet.
Plugin Configuration
To use the Etcd plugin, you must add the plugin configuration in the framework configuration file:
plugins:
config:
etcd:
providers:
- name: etcd1
endpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:2379"
prefix: ""
The following is a detailed explanation of these configuration items:
配置项 | 类型 | 默认值 | 说明 |
---|---|---|---|
name | string | No default value, must be set | The name of the etcd provider, used in the code to specify which etcd provider to use through the ::trpc::config::WithProvider function |
endpoint | string | No default value, must be set | The access address of the etcd cluster, in the format "http://ip:port" |
prefix | string | Empty string (optional configuration) | The prefix of the key that stores configuration data in etcd, used to distinguish different configuration data |
Initialization
The etcd-provider plugin provides the plugin registration interface ::trpc::config::etcd::Init(), which users need to call before the framework starts.
For the server scenario, the user needs to call it in the TrpcApp::RegisterPlugins function when the service starts:
```cpp
#include "trpc/config/etcd/etcd_provider_api.h"
class HelloworldServer : public ::trpc::TrpcApp {
public:
...
int RegisterPlugins() override {
::trpc::config::etcd::Init();
return 0;
}
};
```
2. For the pure client scenario, it needs to be called after the framework configuration is started and before the other modules of the framework are started:
```cpp
#include "trpc/config/etcd/etcd_provider_api.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
ParseClientConfig(argc, argv);
::trpc::config::etcd::Init();
return ::trpc::RunInTrpcRuntime([]() { return Run(); });
}
```
Precautions
- Before using the etcd-provider plugin, you need to ensure that the etcd cluster is installed and configured
Install etcd cluster
-
Visit the official etcd GitHub repository, on the page, you can find detailed guidance on installing and deploying an etcd cluster. You can select an installation method based on your operating system and environment.
-
For simple testing and development purposes, you can run a single-node etcd cluster locally. Please refer to the "Getting Started" section in the etcd official documentation to learn how to start an etcd instance locally.
-
For production environments, it is recommended to deploy a multi-node etcd cluster to ensure high availability and data consistency. Please refer to the "Runtime Configuration" section in the etcd official documentation to learn how to configure and deploy a multi-node etcd cluster.
Use etcdctl tool to set key-value pairs
- etcdctl is a command-line client tool for etcd, used to interact with the etcd cluster. You can use the etcdctl tool to set, get, delete, and monitor key-value pairs. Please make sure you have installed etcdctl correctly, for the specific installation method, please refer to the etcd official documentation.
- The basic syntax for using etcdctl to set key-value pairs is as follows:
For example, to set a key called "salutation_config.json" with the value being the configuration data, you can execute the following command:etcdctl put <key> <value>
etcdctl put salutation_config.json '{"hello": "world"}'
- The basic syntax for using etcdctl to get key-value pairs is as follows:
For example, to get the value of the key named "salutation_config.json", you can execute the following command:etcdctl get <key>
etcdctl get salutation_config.json
- For more information on how to use the etcdctl tool, see Etcd In official documents Interacting with etcd parts.
