HugeGraph Plugin 机制及插件扩展流程

背景

HugeGraph 不仅开源开放，而且要做到简单易用，一般用户无需更改源码也能轻松增加插件扩展功能。
HugeGraph 支持多种内置存储后端，也允许用户无需更改现有源码的情况下扩展自定义后端。
HugeGraph 支持全文检索，全文检索功能涉及到各语言分词，目前已内置 8 种中文分词器，也允许用户无需更改现有源码的情况下扩展自定义分词器。

可扩展维度

目前插件方式提供如下几个维度的扩展项：

后端存储
序列化器
自定义配置项
分词器

插件实现机制

HugeGraph 提供插件接口 HugeGraphPlugin，通过 Java SPI 机制支持插件化
HugeGraph 提供了 4 个扩展项注册函数：registerOptions()、registerBackend()、registerSerializer()、registerAnalyzer()
插件实现者实现相应的 Options、Backend、Serializer 或 Analyzer 的接口
插件实现者实现 HugeGraphPlugin 接口的register()方法，在该方法中注册上述第 3 点所列的具体实现类，并打成 jar 包
插件使用者将 jar 包放在 HugeGraph Server 安装目录的plugins目录下，修改相关配置项为插件自定义值，重启即可生效

插件实现流程实例

1 新建一个 maven 项目

1.1 项目名称取名：hugegraph-plugin-demo

1.2 添加`hugegraph-core` Jar 包依赖

maven pom.xml 详细内容如下：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>org.apache.hugegraph</groupId>
    <artifactId>hugegraph-plugin-demo</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <name>hugegraph-plugin-demo</name>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.hugegraph</groupId>
            <artifactId>hugegraph-core</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

2 实现扩展功能

2.1 扩展自定义后端

2.1.1 实现接口 BackendStoreProvider

可实现接口：org.apache.hugegraph.backend.store.BackendStoreProvider
或者继承抽象类：org.apache.hugegraph.backend.store.AbstractBackendStoreProvider

以 RocksDB 后端 RocksDBStoreProvider 为例：

public class RocksDBStoreProvider extends AbstractBackendStoreProvider {

    protected String database() {
        return this.graph().toLowerCase();
    }

    @Override
    protected BackendStore newSchemaStore(String store) {
        return new RocksDBSchemaStore(this, this.database(), store);
    }

    @Override
    protected BackendStore newGraphStore(String store) {
        return new RocksDBGraphStore(this, this.database(), store);
    }

    @Override
    public String type() {
        return "rocksdb";
    }

    @Override
    public String version() {
        return "1.0";
    }
}

2.1.2 实现接口 BackendStore

BackendStore 接口定义如下：

public interface BackendStore {
    // Store name
    public String store();

    // Database name
    public String database();

    // Get the parent provider
    public BackendStoreProvider provider();

    // Open/close database
    public void open(HugeConfig config);
    public void close();

    // Initialize/clear database
    public void init();
    public void clear();

    // Add/delete data
    public void mutate(BackendMutation mutation);

    // Query data
    public Iterator<BackendEntry> query(Query query);

    // Transaction
    public void beginTx();
    public void commitTx();
    public void rollbackTx();

    // Get metadata by key
    public <R> R metadata(HugeType type, String meta, Object[] args);

    // Backend features
    public BackendFeatures features();

    // Generate an id for a specific type
    public Id nextId(HugeType type);
}

2.1.3 扩展自定义序列化器

序列化器必须继承抽象类：org.apache.hugegraph.backend.serializer.AbstractSerializer(implements GraphSerializer, SchemaSerializer) 主要接口的定义如下：

public interface GraphSerializer {
    public BackendEntry writeVertex(HugeVertex vertex);
    public BackendEntry writeVertexProperty(HugeVertexProperty<?> prop);
    public HugeVertex readVertex(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writeEdge(HugeEdge edge);
    public BackendEntry writeEdgeProperty(HugeEdgeProperty<?> prop);
    public HugeEdge readEdge(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writeIndex(HugeIndex index);
    public HugeIndex readIndex(HugeGraph graph, ConditionQuery query, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writeId(HugeType type, Id id);
    public Query writeQuery(Query query);
}

public interface SchemaSerializer {
    public BackendEntry writeVertexLabel(VertexLabel vertexLabel);
    public VertexLabel readVertexLabel(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writeEdgeLabel(EdgeLabel edgeLabel);
    public EdgeLabel readEdgeLabel(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writePropertyKey(PropertyKey propertyKey);
    public PropertyKey readPropertyKey(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
    public BackendEntry writeIndexLabel(IndexLabel indexLabel);
    public IndexLabel readIndexLabel(HugeGraph graph, BackendEntry entry);
}

2.1.4 扩展自定义配置项

增加自定义后端时，可能需要增加新的配置项，实现流程主要包括：

增加配置项容器类，并实现接口org.apache.hugegraph.config.OptionHolder
提供单例方法public static OptionHolder instance()，并在对象初始化时调用方法OptionHolder.registerOptions()
增加配置项声明，单值配置项类型为ConfigOption、多值配置项类型为ConfigListOption

以 RocksDB 配置项定义为例：

public class RocksDBOptions extends OptionHolder {

    private RocksDBOptions() {
        super();
    }

    private static volatile RocksDBOptions instance;

    public static synchronized RocksDBOptions instance() {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new RocksDBOptions();
            instance.registerOptions();
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public static final ConfigOption<String> DATA_PATH =
            new ConfigOption<>(
                    "rocksdb.data_path",
                    "The path for storing data of RocksDB.",
                    disallowEmpty(),
                    "rocksdb-data"
            );

    public static final ConfigOption<String> WAL_PATH =
            new ConfigOption<>(
                    "rocksdb.wal_path",
                    "The path for storing WAL of RocksDB.",
                    disallowEmpty(),
                    "rocksdb-data"
            );

    public static final ConfigListOption<String> DATA_DISKS =
            new ConfigListOption<>(
                    "rocksdb.data_disks",
                    false,
                    "The optimized disks for storing data of RocksDB. " +
                    "The format of each element: `STORE/TABLE: /path/to/disk`." +
                    "Allowed keys are [graph/vertex, graph/edge_out, graph/edge_in, " +
                    "graph/secondary_index, graph/range_index]",
                    null,
                    String.class,
                    ImmutableList.of()
            );
}

2.2 扩展自定义分词器

分词器需要实现接口org.apache.hugegraph.analyzer.Analyzer，以实现一个 SpaceAnalyzer 空格分词器为例。

package org.apache.hugegraph.plugin;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

import org.apache.hugegraph.analyzer.Analyzer;

public class SpaceAnalyzer implements Analyzer {

    @Override
    public Set<String> segment(String text) {
        return new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(text.split(" ")));
    }
}

3. 实现插件接口，并进行注册

插件注册入口为HugeGraphPlugin.register()，自定义插件必须实现该接口方法，在其内部注册上述定义好的扩展项。接口org.apache.hugegraph.plugin.HugeGraphPlugin定义如下：

public interface HugeGraphPlugin {

    public String name();

    public void register();

    public String supportsMinVersion();

    public String supportsMaxVersion();
}

并且 HugeGraphPlugin 提供了 4 个静态方法用于注册扩展项：

registerOptions(String name, String classPath)：注册配置项
registerBackend(String name, String classPath)：注册后端（BackendStoreProvider）
registerSerializer(String name, String classPath)：注册序列化器
registerAnalyzer(String name, String classPath)：注册分词器

下面以注册 SpaceAnalyzer 分词器为例：

package org.apache.hugegraph.plugin;

public class DemoPlugin implements HugeGraphPlugin {

    @Override
    public String name() {
        return "demo";
    }

    @Override
    public void register() {
        HugeGraphPlugin.registerAnalyzer("demo", SpaceAnalyzer.class.getName());
    }
}

4. 配置 SPI 入口

确保 services 目录存在：hugegraph-plugin-demo/resources/META-INF/services
在 services 目录下建立文本文件：org.apache.hugegraph.plugin.HugeGraphPlugin
文件内容如下：org.apache.hugegraph.plugin.DemoPlugin

5. 打 Jar 包

通过 maven 打包，在项目目录下执行命令mvn package，在 target 目录下会生成 Jar 包文件。使用时将该 Jar 包拷到plugins目录，重启服务即可生效。
