HTTP requests on a servicemix cluster
Hi All,
I am using SMX 3.3.1 on Windows XP and am learning on the cluster
functionality available.
I have two servicemix instances in cluster. I have tested clustering
functionality in the following way:
Deployed a file poller,sender service assembly on both the instances. Both
instances are polling on the same directory(a shared folder). When I put
sample xmls in the poller directory, I see that some files are processed by
servicemix1 and others by the instance servicemix2.
But when I deployed a HTTP example on both instances, I observed that all
the HTTP requests are being processed only by servicemix1. What
configuration is required for the HTTP requests to be processed by both the
servicemix instances? Is it possible with the SMX 3.3.1 install alone?
Thanks in Advance,
Deepika

Thanks a Ton for the response and detailed explanation JB. I used the second
approach which takes care of load balancing all services and it works well.
Thanks again,
Deepika

Hi,
in fact, the ProxyPass is important and should match your service
context root.
For example, you should make
[...]
ServerName lbhost
[...]
<Proxy balancer://smx_bridge>
BalancerMember http://host1:8192/bridge
BalancerMember http://host2:8192/bridge
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /bridge balancer://smx_bridge
<Proxy balancer://smx_s2>
BalancerMember http://host1:8192/s2
BalancerMember http://host2:8192/s2
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /s2 balancer://smx_s2
In that case, http://lbhost/bridge will load balance to bridge service
and http://lbhost/s2 will load balance to s2 service.
Like this you can "control" what services you want to load balance
Another way is to load balance all requests, like this:
<Proxy balancer://smx>
BalancerMember http://host1:8192/
BalancerMember http://host2:8192/
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / balancer://smx
Like this, you can use http://lbhost/bridge and http://lbhost/s2 and all
new services deployed in ServiceMix instances will available to the load
balancer.

RE: HTTP requests on a servicemix cluster
Posted by Deepika <dg...@prolifics.com>.
Thanks for the quick response JB. My question was about accessing multiple
Services deployed on the servicemix instances from the mod_proxy_balancer.
For example if service1 is available through 'http://hostname:8192/bridge',
I would enter below lines in httpd.conf:
<Proxy balancer://servicemixcluster>
BalancerMember http://host1:8192/bridge
BalancerMember http://host2:8192/bridge
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /servicemix balancer://servicemixcluster
lbmethod=byrequests
Now I deploy service2 on host1 and host2 which is available through
'http://hostname:8192/s2', should I be adding the below lines to http.conf?
or is there another way out to avoid adding the stanza everytime a new
service is deployed?
<Proxy balancer://servicemixcluster1>
BalancerMember http://host1:8192/s2
BalancerMember http://host2:8192/s2
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /servicemix1 balancer://servicemixcluster1
lbmethod=byrequests
Thanks in advance for your time,
Deepika

Hi Deepika,
The mod_proxy_balancer can support more than two balancer members. It
depends on the scheduler algorithm that you use.
You can use request counting, weighted traffic counting and pending
request counting.
You can choose it using the lbmethod.
For example, if you use lbmethod=byrequests (request counting), the
requests are distributed among the various workers to ensure that each
gets their configured share of the number of requests. It works as follows:
- lbfactor is "worker's work quota" (the share of amount work to be done)
- lbstatus is "how urgent has to work to fulfill its quota of work".

Thanks for your response JB. I implemented the mod_proxy_balancer and am now
able to load balance the HTTP requests.
1 quick question: If I have multiple HTTP Services(say 3) deployed in both
servicemix1 and servicemix2, should I specify three <Proxy balancer:> sets
in httpd.conf or should the httpd.conf have the generic urls pointing to
servicemix instances and the service configuration be done somewhere else?
Thanks for your time on this,

Hi Deepika,
As mentioned by JB in a aprevious email, you can loadbalance requests
between SMX instances if you use top of them a Proxy HTTP like Apache
Proxy Mod.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
An alternative is to use the loadbalancer of Camel:
http://camel.apache.org/load-balancer.html

Thanks JB, is it possible to make a ServiceMix instance as a load balancer?
(like send messages to one servicemix instance which acts as a router that
distributes the http requests in round robin to all the clustered
instances).

I guess that you point http://servicemix1:port/...
In that case, only the servicemix1 node will manage your request.
It's not ServiceMix which manage this. You need to add a kind of load
balancer in front on ServiceMix.
This load balancer could be hardware (F5, Cisco) or software.
For example, using Apache mod_proxy_balancer, you can use something like:
<Proxy balancer://servicemixcluster>
BalancerMember http://servicemix1:8181
BalancerMember http://servicemix2:8181
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /servicemix balancer://servicemixcluster
