NettyBlockRpcServer

NettyBlockRpcServer is a RpcHandler (i.e. a handler for sendRPC() messages sent by TransportClients) that handles BlockTransferMessage messages for NettyBlockTransferService.

NettyBlockRpcServer uses OneForOneStreamManager as the internal StreamManager.

Message Behaviour

OpenBlocks

Obtaining local blocks and registering them with the internal OneForOneStreamManager.

UploadBlock

Deserializes a block and stores it in BlockDataManager.

Tip
Enable TRACE logging level to see received messages in the logs.
Tip

Enable TRACE logging level for org.apache.spark.network.netty.NettyBlockRpcServer logger to see what happens inside.

Add the following line to conf/log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.network.netty.NettyBlockRpcServer=TRACE

Refer to Logging.

Creating NettyBlockRpcServer Instance

class NettyBlockRpcServer(
  appId: String,
  serializer: Serializer,
  blockManager: BlockDataManager)
extends RpcHandler

When created, NettyBlockRpcServer gets the application id (appId) and a Serializer and a BlockDataManager.

Note
NettyBlockRpcServer is created when NettyBlockTransferService is initialized.

NettyBlockRpcServer merely creates the internal instance of OneForOneStreamManager.

Note
As a RpcHandler, NettyBlockRpcServer uses the OneForOneStreamManager for getStreamManager (which is a part of the RpcHandler contract).

Obtaining Local Blocks and Registering with Internal OneForOneStreamManager — OpenBlocks Message Handler

When OpenBlocks arrives, NettyBlockRpcServer requests block data (from BlockDataManager) for every block id in the message. The block data is a collection of ManagedBuffer for every block id in the incoming message.

Note
BlockDataManager is given when NettyBlockRpcServer is created.
Note
The internal StreamManager is OneForOneStreamManager and is created when NettyBlockRpcServer is created.

You should see the following TRACE message in the logs:

TRACE NettyBlockRpcServer: Registered streamId [streamId]  with [size] buffers

In the end, NettyBlockRpcServer responds with a StreamHandle (with the streamId and the number of blocks). The response is serialized as a ByteBuffer.

Deserializing Block and Storing in BlockDataManager — UploadBlock Message Handler

When UploadBlock arrives, NettyBlockRpcServer deserializes the metadata of the input message to get the StorageLevel and ClassTag of the block being uploaded.

Note
metadata is serialized before NettyBlockTransferService sends a UploadBlock message (using the internal JavaSerializer) that is given as serializer when NettyBlockRpcServer is created.

NettyBlockRpcServer creates a BlockId for the block id and requests the BlockDataManager to store the block.

Note
The BlockDataManager is passed in when NettyBlockRpcServer is created.

In the end, NettyBlockRpcServer responds with a 0-capacity ByteBuffer.

Note
UploadBlock is sent when NettyBlockTransferService uploads a block.
