Appfabric caching 使用半年总结

一.原理

和Memcached类似，采用C/S的模式，在 server 端启动服务进程，在启动时可以指定监听的 ip，自己的端口号，所使用的内存大小等几个关键参数。一旦启动，服务就一直处于可用状态。

二.常用命令

   1.Start-CacheCluster
   2.Stop-CacheCluster
   3.Get-CacheHost 可以得到所有的Cache主机
   4.Start-CacheHost GFTEST:22233 启动一个Cache主机
   5.Stop-CacheHost GFTEST:22233 停止一个Cache主机
   6.Get-CacheAllowedClientAccounts 得到授权的用户.
   7.Grant-CacheAllowedClientAccount NetworkService 给用户授权
   8.Export-CacheClusterConfig -File E:\VelocityCache\ClusterConfig.xml
   9.Import-CacheClusterConfig -File E:\VelocityCache\ClusterConfig.xml

   10.Get-CacheStatistics default 得到默认或当前cache的详细统计结果。

三.安全设置

   在开发机上可以设置授权用户如下：
    <securityProperties mode="None" protectionLevel="None">
                <authorization>
                    <allow users="administrator" />
                    <allow users="NetworkService" />
                </authorization>
    </securityProperties>

    但放服务器上不工作，可能因为服务器的种种安全设置，没仔细找到具体原因。知道要让程序顺利访问cache, 最好将securityProperties 的模式设置为None。

    <securityProperties mode="None" protectionLevel="None">
    </securityProperties>

四.多个node

在多台机器上装cache服务时，第一台服务器叫做lead host，用来创建一个new cluster，其他服务器joint就可以了。

通过get-cachehost命令可以查到现在工作中的host列表。

PS C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\DistributedCacheAdministration> get-cachehost

HostName : CachePort      Service Name            Service Status Version Info
--------------------      ------------            -------------- ------------
DesktopPc:22233        AppFabricCachingService UP             1 [1,1][1,1]
TESTServer:22233      AppFabricCachingService UP             1 [1,1][1,1]

五.配置文件不能访问导致的cache服务瘫痪(crash)， 报出的异常是：An error occurred loading a configuration file: The network path was not found.
平时配置文件都能访问，cache 服务也工作正常，不知怎的，每隔些日子，就会因为这个原因瘫痪一下，因为服务器放在机房，不知道是否是被机房所害.

查了一下, 分析说很可能是dns服务器的问题, 我测试了一下果然如此, 又上网搜了搜北京dns (202.96.199.133 202.96.0.133 202.106.0.20 202.106.148.1 202.106.0.20 202.106.196.115) , 结果都不行, 不知道怎么回事, 总之不太相信这个结果.

暂时的解决办法是修改host文件，将companywebserver 和127.0.0.1绑定，这样读cache时不出本机，观察几天看能否解决这个问题，但这样一来，多点cache集群就做不成了, 或许可以用内网ip代替127.0.0.1来解决这个问题。

最后找到google有个公共dns: 8.8.8.8, 还找到个河北的, 202.99.168.8, 也可以用, 先这样观察几天吧!

六.重起cache服务到真正可用的gap

经过测试, cache服务重起后, 已经是started状态了, 但程序一连还是不成, 也就是此时cache还没有ready, 等大概2-18分钟就好了, 没找到ms官方的解释, 纯粹个人经验.

七.参考

使用微软分布式缓存服务Velocity(Windows Server AppFabric Caching Service)

八.一个完整的配置文件 ClusterConfig.xml

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

    <configSections>
        <section name="dataCache" type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheSection, Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
    </configSections>
    <dataCache size="Small">
