Пошаговое руководство. Повышение эффективности с помощью BatchBlock и BatchedJoinBlock

Библиотека потоков данных TPL предоставляет классы System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchBlock<T> и System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2>, чтобы пользователь мог получать и помещать в буфер данные из одного или нескольких источников и затем передавать эти помещенные в буфер данные в виде одной коллекции. Этот механизм пакетной обработки полезен при сборе данных из одного или нескольких источников и дальнейшей обработке различных элементов данных в пакетном режиме. Например, рассмотрим приложение, использующее поток данных для вставки записей в базу данных. Эта операция может быть эффективнее, если несколько элементов добавляются одновременно, а не последовательно по одному. В этом документе описано, как использовать класс BatchBlock<T> для увеличения эффективности подобных операций вставки в базу данных. Также здесь приводится способ использования класса BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> для перехвата и результатов, и всех исключений, возникающих при выполнении программой считывания из базы данных.

Примечание

Библиотека потоков данных TPL (пространство имен System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow) не поставляется с .NET. Чтобы установить пространство имен System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow в Visual Studio, откройте проект, выберите Управление пакетами NuGet в меню Проект и выполните поиск пакета System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow в Интернете. Вы также можете установить его, выполнив в .NET Core CLI команду dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.

Предварительные требования

  1. Прочитайте описание блоков объединения в документации по потокам данных, прежде чем приступать к этому руководству.

  2. Убедитесь, что на вашем компьютере есть копия базы данных Northwind, Northwind.sdf. Этот файл обычно находится в папке %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\.

    Важно!

    В некоторых версиях Windows вы не сможете подключиться к Northwind.sdf, если Visual Studio работает не в режиме администратора. Для подключения к Northwind.sdf запустите Visual Studio или командную строку разработчика для Visual Studio в режиме Запуск от имени администратора.

Это пошаговое руководство содержит следующие разделы:

Создание консольного приложения

  1. В Visual Studio создайте проект консольного приложения Visual C# или Visual Basic. В этом документе проект называется DataflowBatchDatabase.

  2. В проект добавьте ссылку на System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll и ссылку на System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.dll.

  3. Убедитесь, что Form1.cs (Form1.vb для Visual Basic) содержит следующие операторы using (Imports в Visual Basic).

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow;
    
    Imports System.Collections.Generic
    Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
    Imports System.Diagnostics
    Imports System.IO
    Imports System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow
    
    
  4. Добавьте в класс Program следующие данные-члены.

    // The number of employees to add to the database.
    // TODO: Change this value to experiment with different numbers of
    // employees to insert into the database.
    static readonly int insertCount = 256;
    
    // The size of a single batch of employees to add to the database.
    // TODO: Change this value to experiment with different batch sizes.
    static readonly int insertBatchSize = 96;
    
    // The source database file.
    // TODO: Change this value if Northwind.sdf is at a different location
    // on your computer.
    static readonly string sourceDatabase =
       @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\Northwind.sdf";
    
    // TODO: Change this value if you require a different temporary location.
    static readonly string scratchDatabase =
       @"C:\Temp\Northwind.sdf";
    
    ' The number of employees to add to the database.
    ' TODO: Change this value to experiment with different numbers of 
    ' employees to insert into the database.
    Private Shared ReadOnly insertCount As Integer = 256
    
    ' The size of a single batch of employees to add to the database.
    ' TODO: Change this value to experiment with different batch sizes.
    Private Shared ReadOnly insertBatchSize As Integer = 96
    
    ' The source database file.
    ' TODO: Change this value if Northwind.sdf is at a different location
    ' on your computer.
    Private Shared ReadOnly sourceDatabase As String = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\Northwind.sdf"
    
    ' TODO: Change this value if you require a different temporary location.
    Private Shared ReadOnly scratchDatabase As String = "C:\Temp\Northwind.sdf"
    

Определение класса "Сотрудник"

Добавьте в класс Program класс Employee.

// Describes an employee. Each property maps to a
// column in the Employees table in the Northwind database.
// For brevity, the Employee class does not contain
// all columns from the Employees table.
class Employee
{
   public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
   public string LastName { get; set; }
   public string FirstName { get; set; }

   // A random number generator that helps tp generate
   // Employee property values.
   static Random rand = new Random(42);

   // Possible random first names.
   static readonly string[] firstNames = { "Tom", "Mike", "Ruth", "Bob", "John" };
   // Possible random last names.
   static readonly string[] lastNames = { "Jones", "Smith", "Johnson", "Walker" };

   // Creates an Employee object that contains random
   // property values.
   public static Employee Random()
   {
      return new Employee
      {
         EmployeeID = -1,
         LastName = lastNames[rand.Next() % lastNames.Length],
         FirstName = firstNames[rand.Next() % firstNames.Length]
      };
   }
}
' Describes an employee. Each property maps to a 
' column in the Employees table in the Northwind database.
' For brevity, the Employee class does not contain
' all columns from the Employees table.
Private Class Employee
    Public Property EmployeeID() As Integer
    Public Property LastName() As String
    Public Property FirstName() As String

    ' A random number generator that helps tp generate
    ' Employee property values.
    Private Shared rand As New Random(42)

    ' Possible random first names.
    Private Shared ReadOnly firstNames() As String = {"Tom", "Mike", "Ruth", "Bob", "John"}
    ' Possible random last names.
    Private Shared ReadOnly lastNames() As String = {"Jones", "Smith", "Johnson", "Walker"}

    ' Creates an Employee object that contains random 
    ' property values.
    Public Shared Function Random() As Employee
        Return New Employee With {.EmployeeID = -1, .LastName = lastNames(rand.Next() Mod lastNames.Length), .FirstName = firstNames(rand.Next() Mod firstNames.Length)}
    End Function
End Class

В классе Employee содержатся три свойства: EmployeeID, LastName и FirstName, Эти свойства соответствуют столбцам Employee ID, Last Name и First Name в таблице Employees в базе данных Northwind. Для этого примера в классе Employee также определяется метод Random, который создает объект Employee со случайными значениями свойств.

Определение операций базы данных сотрудников

Добавьте в класс Program методы InsertEmployees, GetEmployeeCount и GetEmployeeID.

// Adds new employee records to the database.
static void InsertEmployees(Employee[] employees, string connectionString)

         connection);

      connection.Open();
      try

         return (int)command.ExecuteScalar();
      }
      finally
      {
         connection.Close();
      }
   }
}
' Adds new employee records to the database.
Private Shared Sub InsertEmployees(ByVal employees() As Employee, ByVal connectionString As String)
    Using connection As New SqlCeConnection(connectionString)
        Try

                command.Parameters.Add("@lastName", employees(i).LastName)
                command.Parameters.Add("@firstName", employees(i).FirstName)

                ' Execute the command.
                command.ExecuteNonQuery()
            Next i
        Finally
            connection.Close()
        End Try
    End Using
End Sub

' Retrieves the number of entries in the Employees table in

Private Shared Function GetEmployeeCount(ByVal connectionString As String) As Integer
    Dim result As Integer = 0
    Using sqlConnection As New SqlCeConnection(connectionString)

    End Using
End Function

Метод InsertEmployees добавляет новые записи "Сотрудник" в базу данных. Метод GetEmployeeCount получает число записей в таблице Employees. Метод GetEmployeeID получает идентификатор первого сотрудника с указанным именем. Каждый из этих методов принимает строку подключения к базе данных Northwind и использует функциональные возможности пространства имен System.Data.SqlServerCe для обмена данными с базой данных.

Добавление данных о сотруднике в базу данных без использования буферизации

Добавьте в класс Program методы AddEmployees и PostRandomEmployees.

// Posts random Employee data to the provided target block.
static void PostRandomEmployees(ITargetBlock<Employee> target, int count)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Adding {0} entries to Employee table...", count);

   for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
   {
      target.Post(Employee.Random());
   }
}

// Adds random employee data to the database by using dataflow.
static void AddEmployees(string connectionString, int count)
{
   // Create an ActionBlock<Employee> object that adds a single
   // employee entry to the database.
   var insertEmployee = new ActionBlock<Employee>(e =>
      InsertEmployees(new Employee[] { e }, connectionString));

   // Post several random Employee objects to the dataflow block.
   PostRandomEmployees(insertEmployee, count);

   // Set the dataflow block to the completed state and wait for
   // all insert operations to complete.
   insertEmployee.Complete();
   insertEmployee.Completion.Wait();
}
' Posts random Employee data to the provided target block.
Private Shared Sub PostRandomEmployees(ByVal target As ITargetBlock(Of Employee), ByVal count As Integer)
    Console.WriteLine("Adding {0} entries to Employee table...", count)

    For i As Integer = 0 To count - 1
        target.Post(Employee.Random())
    Next i
End Sub

' Adds random employee data to the database by using dataflow.
Private Shared Sub AddEmployees(ByVal connectionString As String, ByVal count As Integer)
    ' Create an ActionBlock<Employee> object that adds a single
    ' employee entry to the database.
    Dim insertEmployee = New ActionBlock(Of Employee)(Sub(e) InsertEmployees(New Employee() {e}, connectionString))

    ' Post several random Employee objects to the dataflow block.
    PostRandomEmployees(insertEmployee, count)

    ' Set the dataflow block to the completed state and wait for 
    ' all insert operations to complete.
    insertEmployee.Complete()
    insertEmployee.Completion.Wait()
End Sub

Метод AddEmployees добавляет случайные данные о сотрудниках в базу данных с помощью потока данных. Он создает объект ActionBlock<TInput>, который вызывает метод InsertEmployees для добавления записи о сотруднике в базу данных. Метод AddEmployees затем вызывает метод PostRandomEmployees для прикрепления нескольких объектов Employee к объекту ActionBlock<TInput>. Метод AddEmployees затем ожидает завершения всех операций вставки.

Использование буферизации для добавления данных о сотруднике в базу данных

Добавьте метод Program в класс AddEmployeesBatched.

// Adds random employee data to the database by using dataflow.
// This method is similar to AddEmployees except that it uses batching
// to add multiple employees to the database at a time.
static void AddEmployeesBatched(string connectionString, int batchSize,
   int count)
{
   // Create a BatchBlock<Employee> that holds several Employee objects and
   // then propagates them out as an array.
   var batchEmployees = new BatchBlock<Employee>(batchSize);

   // Create an ActionBlock<Employee[]> object that adds multiple
   // employee entries to the database.
   var insertEmployees = new ActionBlock<Employee[]>(a =>
      InsertEmployees(a, connectionString));

   // Link the batch block to the action block.
   batchEmployees.LinkTo(insertEmployees);

   // When the batch block completes, set the action block also to complete.
   batchEmployees.Completion.ContinueWith(delegate { insertEmployees.Complete(); });

   // Post several random Employee objects to the batch block.
   PostRandomEmployees(batchEmployees, count);

   // Set the batch block to the completed state and wait for
   // all insert operations to complete.
   batchEmployees.Complete();
   insertEmployees.Completion.Wait();
}
' Adds random employee data to the database by using dataflow.
' This method is similar to AddEmployees except that it uses batching
' to add multiple employees to the database at a time.
Private Shared Sub AddEmployeesBatched(ByVal connectionString As String, ByVal batchSize As Integer, ByVal count As Integer)
    ' Create a BatchBlock<Employee> that holds several Employee objects and
    ' then propagates them out as an array.
    Dim batchEmployees = New BatchBlock(Of Employee)(batchSize)

    ' Create an ActionBlock<Employee[]> object that adds multiple
    ' employee entries to the database.
    Dim insertEmployees = New ActionBlock(Of Employee())(Sub(a) Program.InsertEmployees(a, connectionString))

    ' Link the batch block to the action block.
    batchEmployees.LinkTo(insertEmployees)

    ' When the batch block completes, set the action block also to complete.
    batchEmployees.Completion.ContinueWith(Sub() insertEmployees.Complete())

    ' Post several random Employee objects to the batch block.
    PostRandomEmployees(batchEmployees, count)

    ' Set the batch block to the completed state and wait for 
    ' all insert operations to complete.
    batchEmployees.Complete()
    insertEmployees.Completion.Wait()
End Sub

Этот метод похож на AddEmployees за исключением того, что он использует класс BatchBlock<T> для буферизации нескольких объектов Employee перед их отправкой объекту ActionBlock<TInput>. Поскольку класс BatchBlock<T> выдает на выходе несколько элементов в виде коллекции, объект ActionBlock<TInput> изменяется для работы с массивом объектов Employee. Как и в методе AddEmployees, AddEmployeesBatched вызывает метод PostRandomEmployees для отправки нескольких объектов Employee; однако AddEmployeesBatched отправляет эти объекты объекту BatchBlock<T>. Метод AddEmployeesBatched также ожидает завершения всех операций вставки.

Использование объединения буферизированных данных для считывания данных о сотруднике из базы данных

Добавьте метод Program в класс GetRandomEmployees.

// Displays information about several random employees to the console.
static void GetRandomEmployees(string connectionString, int batchSize,
   int count)
{
   // Create a BatchedJoinBlock<Employee, Exception> object that holds
   // both employee and exception data.
   var selectEmployees = new BatchedJoinBlock<Employee, Exception>(batchSize);

   // Holds the total number of exceptions that occurred.
   int totalErrors = 0;

   // Create an action block that prints employee and error information
   // to the console.
   var printEmployees =
      new ActionBlock<Tuple<IList<Employee>, IList<Exception>>>(data =>
      {
         // Print information about the employees in this batch.

               e.LastName, e.FirstName, e.EmployeeID);
         }

         // Print the error count for this batch.
         Console.WriteLine("There were {0} errors in this batch...",
            data.Item2.Count);

         // Update total error count.
         totalErrors += data.Item2.Count;
      });

   // Link the batched join block to the action block.
   selectEmployees.LinkTo(printEmployees);

   // When the batched join block completes, set the action block also to complete.
   selectEmployees.Completion.ContinueWith(delegate { printEmployees.Complete(); });

   // Try to retrieve the ID for several random employees.
   Console.WriteLine("Selecting random entries from Employees table...");
   for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
   {
      try
      {
         // Create a random employee.
         Employee e = Employee.Random();

         // Try to retrieve the ID for the employee from the database.
         e.EmployeeID = GetEmployeeID(e.LastName, e.FirstName, connectionString);

         // Post the Employee object to the Employee target of

Этот метод выводит сведения о случайных сотрудниках на консоль. Он создает несколько произвольных объектов Employee и вызывает метод GetEmployeeID для извлечения уникального идентификатора каждого объекта. Поскольку метод GetEmployeeID создает исключение, если не найден сотрудник с данным именем и фамилией, метод GetRandomEmployees использует класс BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> для хранения объектов Employee в случае успешного вызова объектов GetEmployeeID и System.Exception для вызовов, которые завершились ошибкой. Объект ActionBlock<TInput> в этом примере работает с объектом Tuple<T1,T2>, содержащим список объектов Employee и список объектов Exception. Объект BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> передает эти данные, когда в сумме количество полученных объектов Employee и Exception равняется размеру пакета.

Полный пример

В следующем примере показан полный код. Метод Main сравнивает время выполнения пакетной вставки в базу данных и время выполнения непакетной вставки. Здесь также демонстрируется использование объединения буферизированных данных для чтения сведений о сотруднике из базы данных, помимо этого он докладывает об ошибках.
