导读：在实际的开发中我们经常会遇到将一条数据需要经过多次处理的场景，称为 Pipeline。那么在 Knative 中是否也提供这样的能力呢？其实从 Knative Eventing 0.7 版本开始，就提供了 Sequence CRD 资源，用于事件处理 Pipeline。本篇文章中，阿里云容器平台高级开发工程师元毅将为大家详细介绍 Sequence 的定义及在 Knative Eventing 中提供的 4 种使用场景。
Sequence 定义
首先来看一下 Sequence Spec 定义：
apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Sequence
metadata:name: test
spec:channelTemplate:apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: InMemoryChannelsteps:- ref:apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: Servicename: testreply:kind: BrokerapiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1alpha1name: test
Sequence Spec 包括 3 个部分：
-
steps： 在 step 中定义了按照顺序执行的服务，每个服务会对应创建 Subscription；
-
channelTemplate：指定了使用具体的那个 Channel；
-
reply：（可选）定义了将最后一个 step 服务结果转发到的目标服务。
Sequence 都是适合哪些具体应用场景呢？我们上面也提到了事件处理的 Pipeline。那么在实际场景应用中究竟以什么样的形式体现呢？ 现在我们揭晓一下 Sequence 在 Knative Eventing 中提供的如下 4 种使用场景：
- 直接访问 Service；
- 面向事件处理；
- 级联 Sequence；
- 面向 Broker/Trigger。
直接访问 Service 场景
事件源产生的事件直接发送给 Sequence 服务， Sequence 接收到事件之后顺序调用 Service 服务对事件进行处理：
创建 Knative Service
这里我们创建 3 个 Knative Service 用于事件处理。每个 Service 接收到事件之后会打印当前的事件处理信息。
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service

创建 Sequence
创建顺序调用 first->second->third Service 的 Sequence。
apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Sequence
metadata:name: sequence
spec:channelTemplate:apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: InMemoryChannelsteps:- ref:apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: Servicename: first- ref:apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: Servicename: second- ref:apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: Servicename: third
创建数据源
创建 CronJobSource 数据源，每隔 1 分钟发送一条事件消息 {"message": "Hello world!"} 到 Sequence 服务。
apiVersion: sources.eventing.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: CronJobSource
metadata:name: cronjob-source
spec:schedule: "*/1 * * * *"data: '{"message": "Hello world!"}'sink:apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1alpha1kind: Sequencename: sequence
示例结果
面向事件处理场景
事件源产生的事件直接发送给 Sequence 服务， Sequence 接收到事件之后顺序调用 Service 服务对事件进行处理，处理之后的最终结果会调用 event-display Service 显示：
创建 Knative Service
同上创建 3 个 Knative Service 用于事件处理：
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
