The present invention relates to the technical field of game servers, and in particular, to a method and a system for processing session data of an interactive process, a server group, and a computer-readable storage medium.
When players use software applications, a large number of interactive processes are generated, especially for game applications. With the continuous improvement of the requirement of the players for game experience, for game servers, there is a need to continuously improve the data throughput in an interactive process and reduce the request response time.
In a game server architecture, there are usually a gateway server and a logic server. The gateway server is responsible for establishing a connection with a game client, creating session data, and then forwarding a request of the client to the logic server. After performing logical processing, the logic server sends a reply to the gateway server, and the gateway server replies to the game client.
In the development of game logic, such a requirement is often encountered, and logical processing and determining are performed based on the current session data of the player. The current practice is as follows: When the gateway creates session data, the session data is written into a cache database. When the logic server needs to use the session data, the logic server first accesses the cache database, and then performs logical processing. When the logic server needs to modify the session data, the modified session data needs to be written to the cache database again.
This approach has two disadvantages: when a process needs to involve a request for processing the session data, the process is slower because of the need to read/write the session data. If an additional cache database is added, the risk of instability of the entire server is also increased. When the cache database is unavailable, related interfaces are all unavailable.
In order to overcome the above technical defects, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for processing session data of an interactive process, a server group, and a computer-readable storage medium for improving the throughput of a game gateway server, reducing the request delay, and reducing the interface instability.

An interactive client creates session data, and sends a request for forwarding the session data to a gateway server.
The gateway server obtains the session data, and reads multiple key fields in the session data. The gateway server reads a protocol rule by using a built-in protocol configuration module, and determines whether the multiple key fields conform to the protocol rule.
If the multiple key fields conform to the protocol rule, the gateway server forwards the session data to an interactive logic server based on a forwarding protocol. The forwarding protocol includes the read key fields.
The interactive logic server performs logical processing on the session data to form reply data, and sends the reply data back to the gateway server by using a reply protocol.
The gateway server stores the reply data by using a built-in memory module.
The interactive client obtains the reply data from the memory module.
If the multiple key fields do not conform to the protocol rule, the request of the interactive client for forwarding the session data is rejected, and a step is ended.
Referring to
When the gateway server forwards the session data to the interactive logic server, the gateway server forwards a protocol on which the forwarding process is based (hereinafter referred to as a forwarding protocol) at the same time to the interactive logic server. When the interactive logic server replies the session data to the gateway server, the interactive logic server replies a protocol on which the reply process is based (hereinafter referred to as a reply protocol) at the same time to the gateway server.
In addition, a key field in the read session data is added in the forwarding protocol forwarded by the gateway server to the interactive logic server, so that the interactive logic server quickly obtains the key field. However, a key field of the written session data is also added in the reply protocol that the interactive logic server replies to the gateway server, so that the gateway server quickly obtains the key field, thereby improving the throughput of the gateway server.
Preferably, the interactive logic server performs logical processing and modification on the session data to form reply data, and a specific modification method is to modify the session data by writing a modification field to the session data. However, the reply protocol that the interactive logic server replies to the gateway server includes the written modification field. After receiving the reply data, the gateway server reads the modification field by using the reply protocol, and stores the reply data by using the built-in memory module according to the modification field, so that the access to a peripheral cache database is avoided. In this way, the throughput of the gateway server is improved, the delay of the interface is reduced, and the stability of the server is improved.
Preferably, the protocol rule includes an interception rule and a reading rule. After obtaining the session data, the gateway server checks the passable qualification of the session data by using the interception rule, and only the session data that does not trigger interception can be forwarded to the interactive logic server. The session data is quickly identified and read by reading the rule to obtain information. The information is usually a key field with meaning. For example, when the information is applied to a game, the key field of the session data can be “a level value is 6”, “updating a client version”, “obtaining a historical battle record”, etc. Correspondingly, the key field of “a level value is 6” indicates that a user level corresponding to the interactive client is level 6. The key field “updating a client version” indicates that the interactive client is updated to the latest version. The key field “obtaining a historical battle record” indicates that the historical battle record of the user corresponding to the interactive client is obtained, and the historical record can be all battle records or a historical battle record within a preset time.
It can be understood that the multiple key fields include multiple first key fields corresponding to the interception rule, and multiple second key fields corresponding to the read rule, and the gateway server determines whether the session data triggers interception by extracting the first key fields, and obtains information by extracting the second key fields. The key field of “a level value is 6” belongs to the first key field, because the level value in this key field directly affects whether the session data triggers interception. However, the key fields of “updating a client version” and “obtaining a historical battle record” belong to the second key fields, because the information in these key fields represents user requirements corresponding to the interactive client, and is a type of information that needs to be executed.
Specifically, the gateway server determines whether the multiple first key fields trigger interception by using the interception rule. If interception is not triggered, it indicates that the session data has a passable qualification, and therefore the gateway server further reads multiple second key fields by using the reading rule. The second key field may be a field on which information extraction can be directly performed, or may be a field for which logical processing can be performed to obtain information. After extracting the second key field, the gateway server immediately forwards the read second key field to the interactive logic server based on the forwarding protocol. If interception is triggered, a request of the interactive client for forwarding the session data is rejected.
Preferably, the session data includes, but is not limited to, basic information such as a client model, a client version, a user name, a user address, and a user level, and further includes specific session content.
Three rules and applications for protocol configuration of the gateway server are provided below:
The gateway server obtains a first key field in the session data, and the first key field includes a user level. The gateway server determines whether the user level is greater than a preset level value according to the interception rule.
An application scenario of the interception rule is as follows: The gateway server is a part of a game server group, and the game server group restricts that access to the interface of the gateway server is allowed only when the user level is at or above the preset level value. For example, if the preset level is set to be level 3, if the user level extracted from the session data is only level 2, the interactive request of the session data of the interactive client is rejected: if the user level extracted from the session data is level 5, the session data of the interactive client is forwarded to the interactive logic server.
A configuration example: EnterReque preset level value t:@filter{level>=N}.
By using the interception rule, the data processing pressure of the interactive logic server is reduced, and a replay can be quickly made to the client.
The gateway server obtains the second key field in the session data, and the second key field includes the client version. By identifying different client versions, the interactive logic server writes modification fields corresponding to different client versions to the session data to form different reply data.
An application scenario of the reading rule is as follows: In the game server group, different reply data needs to be returned to the client according to different client versions.
A configuration example: GetReque default level value t:@read{ver default level value ion}.
By using this reading rule, the interactive logic server can quickly obtain the client version number by using the protocol forwarded by the gateway server, so that obtaining from an external cache server is avoided, the speed is faster, and data obtaining is more stable.
The interactive logic server writes a new user level into the session data to form new reply data, and the gateway server obtains the reply data replied by the interactive logic server, and the modification field in the reply data includes the user level.
The application scenario of the writing rule is as follows: In the game server group, the user sends an upgrade request to the interactive logic server by using the gateway server, and the interactive logic server updates the user level into the session data according to an upgrade request, to form reply data, and sends the reply data to the gateway server. Information of the user level can be used for a subsequent interception rule.
A configuration example: UplevelReque preset level value t:@write{level}.
By using this writing rule, the interactive logic server adds a level field in the protocol that is replied to the gateway, and therefore the gateway server can immediately write the level field to the memory module, so that writing to the external cache database is avoided, and the speed is faster.
It should be noted that the protocol configuration rules of the present invention are not limited to the above three types, and for faster processing of session data, more protocol rules can be configured according to requirements.

A gateway server starts, and loads a protocol configuration file.
A game client (that is, an interactive client) is connected to the gateway server, and creates session data. At the beginning, the session data generally includes basic information such as a client model, a client version, and a source IP.
The game client sends a request for forwarding session data to the gateway server.
The gateway server first reads an interception rule in the protocol configuration file, and reads a first key field in the session data to perform determining of interception. If it is determined that interception is triggered, the gateway server directly replies to the game client that the request fails. If it is determined that interception is not triggered, the gateway server reads a reading rule in the protocol configuration file, and reads a second key field in the session data, and adds the read second key field to a forwarding protocol.
The gateway server forwards the second key field in the session data of the game client to a game logic server (that is, an interactive logic server) based on the forwarding protocol, and the game logic server can quickly read the second key field in the session data from the forwarding protocol to perform logical processing. If the game logic server modifies the session data when performing logical processing, the modified session data is added to a reply protocol to form reply data.
The gateway server receives the reply data, reads a writing rule configured by the protocol, and updates a field of the modified session data (that is, the reply data) into the memory.
In the present invention, storage space and a protocol configuration rule are set inside the gateway server, so that writing and interception of session data are more efficient, and access to a peripheral cache database is avoided. In this way, the throughput of the gateway is improved, the delay of the interface is reduced, and the stability of the interface is improved. A better gaming experience is brought for users.
