apisix动态性

Nginx采用了epoll + nonblock socket这种多路复用机制实现事件处理模型，其中每个worker进程会循环处理网络IO及定时器事件,ngx_event_expire_timers函数会调用所有超时事件的handler方法。事实上，定时器由红黑树实现，其中key是每个事件的绝对过期时间。这样，只要将最小节点与当前时间做比较，就能快速找到过期事件。OpenResty封装了Lua接口，通过ngx.timer.at将ngx_timer_add这个C函数暴露给了Lua语言：当我们调用ngx.timer.at这个Lua定时器时，就是在Nginx的红黑树定时器里加入了ngx_http_lua_timer_handler回调函数，这个函数不会阻塞Nginx。

APISIX在每个Nginx Worker进程的启动过程中，通过ngx.timer.at函数将_automatic_fetch插入定时器。_automatic_fetch函数执行时会通过sync_data函数，基于watch机制接收etcd中的配置变更通知，这样，每个Nginx节点、每个Worker进程都将保持最新的配置。如此设计还有1个明显的优点：etcd中的配置直接写入Nginx Worker进程中，这样处理请求时就能直接使用新配置，无须在进程间同步配置，这要比启动1个agent进程更简单！

竟然在这里  config_etcd.lua 循环注册_automatic_fetch定时器
