Przewodnik: Poprawa wydajności przy użyciu klas BatchBlock i BatchedJoinBlock

Biblioteka przepływów danych TPL udostępnia System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchBlock<T> klasy i System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> , dzięki czemu można odbierać i buforować dane z co najmniej jednego źródła, a następnie propagować te buforowane dane jako jedną kolekcję. Ten mechanizm przetwarzania wsadowego jest przydatny podczas zbierania danych z co najmniej jednego źródła, a następnie przetwarzania wielu elementów danych jako partii. Rozważmy na przykład aplikację, która używa przepływu danych do wstawiania rekordów do bazy danych. Ta operacja może być bardziej wydajna, jeśli wiele elementów jest wstawionych jednocześnie zamiast jednej naraz sekwencyjnie. W tym dokumencie opisano sposób używania BatchBlock<T> klasy w celu zwiększenia wydajności takich operacji wstawiania bazy danych. W tym artykule opisano również sposób używania BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> klasy do przechwytywania zarówno wyników, jak i wszelkich wyjątków występujących podczas odczytu programu z bazy danych.

Uwaga

Biblioteka przepływu danych TPL ( System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow przestrzeń nazw) nie jest dystrybuowana za pomocą platformy .NET. Aby zainstalować System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow przestrzeń nazw w programie Visual Studio, otwórz projekt, wybierz pozycję Zarządzaj pakietami NuGet z menu Project i wyszukaj pakiet w trybie online System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow . Alternatywnie, aby zainstalować go przy użyciu interfejsu wiersza polecenia platformy .NET Core, uruchom polecenie dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.

Wymagania wstępne

  1. Przed rozpoczęciem tego przewodnika zapoznaj się z sekcją Sprzężenie bloków w dokumencie Przepływ danych .

  2. Upewnij się, że masz kopię bazy danych Northwind, Northwind.sdf, dostępnej na komputerze. Ten plik znajduje się zazwyczaj w folderze %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\.

    Ważne

    W niektórych wersjach systemu Windows nie można nawiązać połączenia z usługą Northwind.sdf, jeśli program Visual Studio jest uruchomiony w trybie niebędącym administratorem. Aby nawiązać połączenie z aplikacją Northwind.sdf, uruchom program Visual Studio lub wiersz polecenia dla deweloperów dla programu Visual Studio w trybie uruchom jako administrator .

Ten przewodnik zawiera następujące sekcje:

Tworzenie aplikacji konsoli

  1. W programie Visual Studio utwórz projekt aplikacji konsolowej Visual C# lub Visual Basic. W tym dokumencie projekt ma nazwę DataflowBatchDatabase.

  2. W projekcie dodaj odwołanie do System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll i odwołanie do System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.dll.

  3. Upewnij się, że instrukcja Form1.cs (Form1.vb for Visual Basic) zawiera następujące using instrukcje (Imports w języku 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. Dodaj następujące elementy członkowskie danych do Program klasy.

    // 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;

Definiowanie klasy pracownika

Dodaj do klasy klasę ProgramEmployee .

// 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

Klasa Employee zawiera trzy właściwości, EmployeeID, LastNamei FirstName. Te właściwości odpowiadają kolumnom Employee ID, Last Namei First Name w tabeli w Employees bazie danych Northwind. Na potrzeby tej demonstracji Employee klasa definiuje również metodę RandomEmployee , która tworzy obiekt, który ma losowe wartości dla jego właściwości.

Metoda InsertEmployees dodaje nowe rekordy pracowników do bazy danych. Metoda GetEmployeeCount pobiera liczbę wpisów w Employees tabeli. Metoda GetEmployeeID pobiera identyfikator pierwszego pracownika, który ma podaną nazwę. Każda z tych metod pobiera parametry połączenia z bazą danych Northwind i używa funkcji w System.Data.SqlServerCe przestrzeni nazw do komunikowania się z bazą danych.

Dodawanie danych pracowników do bazy danych bez użycia buforowania

Dodaj do Program klasy AddEmployees metody i PostRandomEmployees .

// Posts random Employee data to the provided target block.
static void PostRandomEmployees(ITargetBlock<Employee> target, int count)

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

Metoda AddEmployees dodaje losowe dane pracowników do bazy danych przy użyciu przepływu danych. Tworzy obiekt, który wywołuje InsertEmployees metodęActionBlock<TInput>, aby dodać wpis pracownika do bazy danych. Następnie AddEmployees metoda wywołuje metodę PostRandomEmployees , aby opublikować wiele Employee obiektów w ActionBlock<TInput> obiekcie. Następnie AddEmployees metoda czeka na zakończenie wszystkich operacji wstawiania.

Używanie buforowania w celu dodania danych pracowników do bazy danych

Dodaj do klasy metodę ProgramAddEmployeesBatched .

// 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)

    Dim insertEmployees = New ActionBlock(Of Employee())(Sub(a) Program.InsertEmployees(a, connectionString))

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

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

Ta metoda przypomina AddEmployeesmetodę , z tą różnicą, że używa BatchBlock<T> również klasy do buforowania wielu Employee obiektów przed wysłaniem ActionBlock<TInput> tych obiektów do obiektu. BatchBlock<T> Ponieważ klasa propaguje wiele elementów jako kolekcji, obiekt jest modyfikowany tak, ActionBlock<TInput> aby działał na tablicy Employee obiektów. Podobnie jak w metodzie AddEmployees , AddEmployeesBatched wywołuje metodę PostRandomEmployees , aby opublikować wiele Employee obiektów, jednak AddEmployeesBatched umieszcza te obiekty w BatchBlock<T> obiekcie. Metoda AddEmployeesBatched czeka również na zakończenie wszystkich operacji wstawiania.

Ta metoda wyświetla informacje o losowych pracownikach w konsoli programu . Tworzy kilka obiektów losowych Employee i wywołuje metodę GetEmployeeID w celu pobrania unikatowego identyfikatora dla każdego obiektu. GetEmployeeID Ponieważ metoda zgłasza wyjątek, jeśli nie ma zgodnego pracownika z podanymi pierwszymi i nazwiskami, GetRandomEmployees metoda używa BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> klasy do przechowywania Employee obiektów w celu pomyślnego wywołania do GetEmployeeID wywołań i System.Exception obiektów dla wywołań, które kończą się niepowodzeniem. Obiekt ActionBlock<TInput> w tym przykładzie Tuple<T1,T2> działa na obiekcie, który zawiera listę Employee obiektów i listę Exception obiektów. Obiekt BatchedJoinBlock<T1,T2> propaguje te dane, gdy suma odebranych Employee obiektów i Exception będzie równa rozmiarowi partii.
