A major feature of mod_cluster is the ability to use server-side load metrics to determine how best to balance requests.
The
DynamicLoadBalanceFactorProvider
bean computes the load balance factor of a node from a defined set of load metrics.
Load metrics can be configured with an associated weight and capacity:
- The weight (default is
1
) indicates the significance of a metric with respect to the other metrics. For example, a metric of weight2
will have twice the impact on the overall load factor than a metric of weight1
. - The capacity of a metric serves
2
functions:
Each load metric contributes a value to the overall load factor of a node. The load factors from each metric are aggregated according to their weights.
In general, the load factor contribution of given metric is:
(load ÷ capacity) × weight ÷ total weight
(load ÷ capacity) × weight ÷ total weight
The DynamicLoadBalanceFactorProvider applies a time decay function to the loads returned by each metric. The aggregate load, with respect to previous load values, can be expressed by the following formula:
L = (L0 + L1∕D + L2∕D2 + L3∕D3 + ... + LH∕DH) × (1 + D + D2 + D3 + ... DH)
L = (L0 + L1∕D + L2∕D2 + L3∕D3 + ... + LH∕DH) × (1 + D + D2 + D3 + ... DH)
... or more concisely as:
H H L = ∑ Li/Di * ∑ Di i=0 i=0
H H
L = ∑ Li/Di * ∑ Di
i=0 i=0
... where
D
= decayFactor and H
= history.
Setting
history = 0
effectively disables the time decay function and only the current load for each metric will be considered in the load balance factor computation.
The mod_cluster proxy module expects the load factor to be an integer between
0
and 100
, where 0
indicates max load and 100
indicates zero load. Therefore, the final load balance factor sent to the proxy is:
100 - (L × 100)
100 - (L × 100)
While you are free to write your own load metrics, the following
