启用事件驱动型函数重试

本文档介绍了如何为事件驱动型函数启用重试。HTTP 函数无法自动重试。

重试的语义

对于事件来源发出的每个事件,Cloud Functions 保证至少执行一次事件驱动型函数。默认情况下,如果函数调用因错误而终止,则该函数不会被再次调用,且相应事件会被丢弃。当您针对事件驱动型函数启用重试时,Cloud Functions 会重试失败的函数调用,直到该函数调用成功或重试期限到期。

此重试期限会在 24 小时后到期。 Cloud Functions 使用指数退避策略重试新创建的事件驱动型函数,增加的退避时间在 10 到 600 秒之间。

如果没有为函数启用重试(默认设置),则函数始终报告其成功执行,并且 200 OK 响应代码可能出现在其日志中。即使函数出现错误,也会发生这种情况。为了清楚说明函数何时出现错误,请务必适当地报告错误

为什么事件驱动型函数会执行失败

在极少数情况下,函数可能会由于内部错误而提早退出,并且默认情况下函数可能会自动重试,也可能不会自动重试。

更常见的情况是,事件驱动型函数可能由于函数代码本身抛出错误而无法成功完成。可能导致这种情况的原因包括:

  • 函数包含 bug,且运行时抛出异常。
  • 函数无法访问服务端点,或者在尝试访问端点时超时。
  • 函数本身有意抛出异常(例如,某个参数验证失败)。
  • Node.js 函数返回遭拒的 promise,或将非 null 值传递给回调。

在上述任何情况下,函数默认都会停止执行,而事件会遭舍弃。如需在出错时重试函数,可通过设置“失败时重试”属性来更改默认的重试政策。这会导致事件反复重试,直到函数成功完成或重试超时到期。

启用或停用重试

要启用或停用重试功能,您可以使用 gcloud 命令行工具或 Google Cloud 控制台。默认情况下,不允许重试。

通过 gcloud 命令行工具配置重试

要通过 gcloud 命令行工具启用重试功能,请在部署您的函数时添加 --retry 标志:

gcloud functions deploy FUNCTION_NAME --retry FLAGS...

要停用重试功能,请重新部署不使用 --retry 标志的函数:

gcloud functions deploy FUNCTION_NAME FLAGS...

通过控制台配置重试

如需创建新函数,请执行以下操作:

  1. 创建函数屏幕中,在触发器下选择作为函数触发器的事件类型。
  2. 选中失败时重试复选框以启用重试。

如果要更新现有函数,请执行以下操作:

  1. Cloud Run functions 概览页面中,点击要更新的函数的名称以打开其函数详情屏幕,然后从菜单栏中选择修改以显示触发器窗格。
  2. 选中或清除失败时重试复选框,以启用或停用重试。

最佳做法

本部分介绍有关如何利用重试的最佳做法。

利用重试来应对暂时性错误

由于函数会一直重试,直到成功执行为止,因此在启用重试之前应进行彻底的测试,以从代码中清除 bug 之类的永久性错误。重试最适合用于应对通过重试可以解决的间歇性或暂时性故障,比如不稳定的服务端点或超时。

设置结束条件以避免无限重试循环

在启用重试时,您应防止函数陷入连续循环。您可以在函数开始处理之前添加明确定义的结束条件。请注意,此方法仅在您的函数成功启动并且能够评估结束条件时才有效。

一种简单而有效的方法是舍弃时间戳早于特定时间的事件。在发生永久性故障或持续时间长于预期的故障时,这样可以保证函数执行次数不会太多。

例如,以下代码段会舍弃超过 10 秒前发生的所有事件:

Node.js

const functions = require('@google-cloud/functions-framework');

/**
 * Cloud Event Function that only executes within
 * a certain time period after the triggering event
 *
 * @param {object} event The Cloud Functions event.
 * @param {function} callback The callback function.
 */
functions.cloudEvent('avoidInfiniteRetries', (event, callback) => {
  const eventAge = Date.now() - Date.parse(event.time);
  const eventMaxAge = 10000;

  // Ignore events that are too old
  if (eventAge > eventMaxAge) {
    console.log(`Dropping event ${event} with age ${eventAge} ms.`);
    callback();
    return;
  }

  // Do what the function is supposed to do
  console.log(`Processing event ${event} with age ${eventAge} ms.`);

  // Retry failed function executions
  const failed = false;
  if (failed) {
    callback('some error');
  } else {
    callback();
  }
});

使可重试的事件驱动型函数具有幂等性

可重试的事件驱动型函数必须是幂等函数。下面是一些有关如何使此类函数具有幂等性的一般指导原则:

  • 许多外部 API(如 Stripe)允许提供幂等键作为参数。如果您在使用此类 API,应将事件 ID 作为幂等键。
  • 幂等性与“至少一次”机制非常契合,因为它能确保重试的安全性。通常情况下,幂等性对于重试来说是不可或缺的。
  • 确保代码具有内在的幂等性。例如:
    • 确保即使发生多次变更 (mutation),执行结果也不会改变。
    • 在事务中,先查询数据库状态再更改状态。
    • 确保所有副作用本身也具有幂等性。
  • 在函数之外强制执行事务检查(不依赖代码)。 例如,在某个位置留存状态信息,并记录已处理事件的 ID。
  • 处理重复的带外函数调用。例如,设置一个单独的清理进程,在发生重复函数调用后执行清理。

配置重试政策

根据您的 Cloud Functions 函数的需求,您可能需要直接配置重试政策。这样,您就可以进行以下设置的任意组合:

  • 将重试期限从 7 天缩短至最短 10 分钟。
  • 更改指数退避算法重试策略的最短和最长退避时间。
  • 更改重试策略以立即重试。
  • 配置死信主题
  • 设置传送尝试次数上限和下限。

如需配置重试政策,请执行以下操作:

  1. 编写 HTTP 函数。
  2. 使用 Pub/Sub API 创建 Pub/Sub 订阅,将函数的网址指定为目标。

如需详细了解如何直接配置 Pub/Sub,请参阅有关处理失败情况的 Pub/Sub 文档
