Procedura: utilizzare JoinBlock per leggere dati da più origini

In questo documento viene spiegato come utilizzare la classe JoinBlock<T1,T2> per eseguire un'operazione quando i dati sono disponibili da più origini. Viene inoltre illustrato come utilizzare la modalità non greedy per consentire la condivisione in modo più efficiente di un'origine dati da parte di più blocchi join.

Esempio

Nell'esempio seguente vengono definiti tre tipi di risorsa, NetworkResource, FileResource e MemoryResource e vengono eseguite operazioni quando queste diventano disponibili. Per questo esempio è richiesta una coppia NetworkResource e MemoryResource per eseguire la prima operazione e una coppia FileResource e MemoryResource per eseguire la seconda. Per consentire l'esecuzione di queste operazioni quando tutte le risorse necessarie sono disponibili, nell'esempio viene utilizzata la classe JoinBlock<T1,T2>. Quando tramite un oggetto JoinBlock<T1,T2> vengono ricevuti dati da tutte le origini, questi dati vengono propagati alla relativa destinazione, che in questo esempio è un oggetto ActionBlock<TInput>. La lettura da parte di entrambi gli oggetti JoinBlock<T1,T2> viene eseguita da un pool condiviso di oggetti MemoryResource.

Per consentire un utilizzo efficiente del pool condiviso di oggetti MemoryResource, in questo esempio viene specificato un oggetto GroupingDataflowBlockOptions con la proprietà Greedy impostata su False per creare oggetti JoinBlock<T1,T2> utilizzati in modalità non greedy. In un blocco join non greedy tutti i messaggi in ingresso vengono posticipati finché non ne è disponibile uno da ogni origine. Se uno dei messaggi posposti viene accettato da un altro blocco, tramite il blocco join viene riavviato il processo. La modalità non greedy consente ai blocchi join in cui vengono condivisi uno o più blocchi di origine di proseguire il lavoro mentre i dati vengono attesi dagli altri blocchi. In questo esempio, se un oggetto MemoryResource viene aggiunto al pool memoryResources, il primo blocco join utilizzato per ricevere la seconda origine dati può continuare. Se in questo esempio venisse utilizzata la modalità greedy, vale a dire l'impostazione predefinita, un blocco join potrebbe accettare l'oggetto MemoryResource e attendere che la seconda risorsa diventi disponibile. Tuttavia, se nell'altro blocco join è presente la seconda origine dati disponibile, non è possibile continuare perché l'oggetto MemoryResource è stato accettato dall'altro blocco join.

Programmazione efficiente

L'utilizzo di join non greedy può inoltre aiutare a impedire un deadlock nell'applicazione. In un'applicazione software si verifica un deadlock quando due o più processi bloccano ognuno una risorsa e attendono entrambi che un altro processo rilasci altre risorse. Si consideri un'applicazione in cui sono definiti due oggetti JoinBlock<T1,T2>. I dati dei due blocchi di origine condivisi possono essere letti da entrambi gli oggetti. In modalità greedy, se la prima origine viene letta dal primo blocco e la seconda origine dal secondo blocco, si potrebbe verificare un deadlock dell'applicazione poiché entrambi i blocchi join sono in attesa del completamento dell'altro per liberare la relativa risorsa. In modalità non greedy, la lettura dalle relative origini da parte di ogni blocco join viene eseguita solo quando tutti i dati sono disponibili e, di conseguenza, il rischio di deadlock è eliminato.
