NetworkClient#poll 方法执行具体的网络请求和响应。下面来看一下 NetworkClient#poll 方法的具体实现:

public List<ClientResponse> poll(long timeout, long now) {
    ensureActive();

    if (!abortedSends.isEmpty()) {
        // If there are aborted sends because of unsupported version exceptions or disconnects,
        // handle them immediately without waiting for Selector#poll.
        List<ClientResponse> responses = new ArrayList<>();
        handleAbortedSends(responses);
        completeResponses(responses);
        return responses;
    }
    /*
     * 如果距离上次更新超过指定时间,且存在负载小的目标节点,
     * 则创建 MetadataRequest 请求更新本地缓存的集群元数据信息,并在下次执行 poll 操作时一并送出
     */
    long metadataTimeout = metadataUpdater.maybeUpdate(now);
    try {
        /* 发送网络请求 */
        this.selector.poll(Utils.min(timeout, metadataTimeout, defaultRequestTimeoutMs));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        log.error("Unexpected error during I/O", e);
    }

    // process completed actions
    /* 处理服务端响应 */
    long updatedNow = this.time.milliseconds();
    // 响应队列
    List<ClientResponse> responses = new ArrayList<>();
    // 对于发送成功且不期望服务端响应的请求,创建本地的响应对象添加到 responses 队列中
    handleCompletedSends(responses, updatedNow);
    /*
     * 获取并解析服务端响应
     * - 如果是更新集群元数据对应的响应,则更新本地缓存的集群元数据信息
     * - 如果是更新 API 版本的响应,则更新本地缓存的目标节点支持的 API 版本信息
     * - 否则,获取 ClientResponse 添加到 responses 队列中
     */
    handleCompletedReceives(responses, updatedNow);
    // 处理连接断开的请求,构建对应的 ClientResponse 添加到 responses 列表中,并标记需要更新集群元数据信息
    handleDisconnections(responses, updatedNow);
    // 处理 connections 列表,更新相应节点的连接状态
    handleConnections();
    // 如果需要更新本地的 API 版本信息,则创建对应的 ApiVersionsRequest 请求,并在下次执行 poll 操作时一并送出
    handleInitiateApiVersionRequests(updatedNow);
    // 遍历获取 inFlightRequests 中的超时请求,构建对应的 ClientResponse 添加到 responses 列表中,并标记需要更新集群元数据信息
    handleTimedOutRequests(responses, updatedNow);
    // 遍历处理响应对应的 onComplete 方法
    // 本质上就是在调用注册的 RequestCompletionHandler#onComplete 方法
    completeResponses(responses);

    return responses;
}

更新集群元数据

        首先来看更新本地缓存的集群元数据信息的过程( 步骤 1 ),前面曾多次提及到更新集群元数据的场景,而这些更新操作实际上都是标记集群元数据需要更新,真正执行更新的操作则发生在这里。实现位于 DefaultMetadataUpdater#maybeUpdate 方法中:

public long maybeUpdate(long now) {
    // should we update our metadata?
    // 获取下次更新集群信息的时间戳
    long timeToNextMetadataUpdate = metadata.timeToNextUpdate(now);
    // 检查是否已经发送了 MetadataRequest 请求
    long waitForMetadataFetch = hasFetchInProgress() ? defaultRequestTimeoutMs : 0;
    // 计算当前距离下次发送 MetadataRequest 请求的时间差
    long metadataTimeout = Math.max(timeToNextMetadataUpdate, waitForMetadataFetch);
    if (metadataTimeout > 0) {
        // 如果时间还未到,则暂时不更新
        return metadataTimeout;
    }

    // Beware that the behavior of this method and the computation of timeouts for poll() are
    // highly dependent on the behavior of leastLoadedNode.
    // 寻找负载最小的可用节点,如果没有可用的节点则返回 null
    Node node = leastLoadedNode(now);
    if (node == null) {
        log.debug("Give up sending metadata request since no node is available");
        return reconnectBackoffMs;
    }
    // 检查是否允许向目标节点发送请求,如果允许则创建 MetadataRequest 请求,并在下次执行 poll 操作时一并送出
    return maybeUpdate(now, node);
}
private long maybeUpdate(long now, Node node) {
    String nodeConnectionId = node.idString();
    // 如果允许向该节点发送请求
    if (canSendRequest(nodeConnectionId, now)) {
        Metadata.MetadataRequestAndVersion requestAndVersion = metadata.newMetadataRequestAndVersion();
        // 创建集群元数据请求 MetadataRequest 对象
        MetadataRequest.Builder metadataRequest = requestAndVersion.requestBuilder;
        log.debug("Sending metadata request {} to node {}", metadataRequest, node);
        // 将 MetadataRequest 包装成 ClientRequest 进行发送,在下次执行 poll 操作时一并发送
        sendInternalMetadataRequest(metadataRequest, nodeConnectionId, now);
        this.inProgressRequestVersion = requestAndVersion.requestVersion;
        return defaultRequestTimeoutMs;
    }
    /* 不允许向目标节点发送请求的场景 */
    // If there's any connection establishment underway, wait until it completes. This prevents
    // the client from unnecessarily connecting to additional nodes while a previous connection
    // attempt has not been completed.
    if (isAnyNodeConnecting()) {
        // 如果存在到目标节点的连接,则等待一会,无需再次尝试创建新的连接
        // Strictly the timeout we should return here is "connect timeout", but as we don't
        // have such application level configuration, using reconnect backoff instead.
        return reconnectBackoffMs;
    }
    /* 如果不存在到目标节点连接 */
    if (connectionStates.canConnect(nodeConnectionId, now)) {
        // 如果允许创建到目标节点的连接,则初始化连接
        // We don't have a connection to this node right now, make one
        log.debug("Initialize connection to node {} for sending metadata request", node);
        initiateConnect(node, now);// 初始化连接
        return reconnectBackoffMs;
    }

    // connected, but can't send more OR connecting
    // In either case, we just need to wait for a network event to let us know the selected
    // connection might be usable again.
    return Long.MAX_VALUE;
}

handleAbortedSends 

       将 NetworkClient#abortedSends 字段中记录的 ClientResponse 响应对象添加到结果集合中,并清空该字段。

private void handleAbortedSends(List<ClientResponse> responses) {
    responses.addAll(abortedSends);
    abortedSends.clear();
}

handleCompletedSends
        遍历客户端已经发送成功的请求,对于那些不期望服务端响应的请求可以直接创建对应的 ClientResponse 响应对象,并添加到结果集合中。

private void handleCompletedSends(List<ClientResponse> responses, long now) {
    // if no response is expected then when the send is completed, return it
    for (Send send : this.selector.completedSends()) {
        // 获取缓存到 inFlightRequests 集合中的请求对象
        InFlightRequest request = this.inFlightRequests.lastSent(send.destination());
        // 检测请求是否期望响应
        if (!request.expectResponse) {
            // 当前请求不期望服务端响应,则从 inFlightRequests 集合中删除
            this.inFlightRequests.completeLastSent(send.destination());
            // 为当前请求生成 ClientResponse 对象
            responses.add(request.completed(null, now));
        }
    }
}

handleCompletedReceives
        获取并解析服务端的响应结果,并依据响应类型分别处理。

private void handleCompletedReceives(List<ClientResponse> responses, long now) {
    for (NetworkReceive receive : this.selector.completedReceives()) {
        // 获取返回响应的节点 ID
        String source = receive.source();
        // 从 inFlightRequests 集合中获取缓存的 ClientRequest 对象
        InFlightRequest req = inFlightRequests.completeNext(source);
        Struct responseStruct = parseStructMaybeUpdateThrottleTimeMetrics(receive.payload(), req.header,
            throttleTimeSensor, now);
        if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
            log.trace("Completed receive from node {} for {} with correlation id {}, received {}", req.destination,
                req.header.apiKey(), req.header.correlationId(), responseStruct);
        }
        // If the received response includes a throttle delay, throttle the connection.
        // 解析响应
        AbstractResponse body = AbstractResponse.
                parseResponse(req.header.apiKey(), responseStruct, req.header.apiVersion());
        maybeThrottle(body, req.header.apiVersion(), req.destination, now);
        if (req.isInternalRequest && body instanceof MetadataResponse)
            // 如果是更新集群元数据对应的响应,则更新本地的缓存的集群元数据信息
            metadataUpdater.handleSuccessfulResponse(req.header, now, (MetadataResponse) body);
        else if (req.isInternalRequest && body instanceof ApiVersionsResponse)
            // 如果是更新 API 版本的响应,则更新本地缓存的目标节点支持的 API 版本信息
            handleApiVersionsResponse(responses, req, now, (ApiVersionsResponse) body);
        else
            // 否则,获取 ClientResponse 响应对象添加到队列中
            responses.add(req.completed(body, now));
    }
}

handleDisconnections
        该方法会调用 Selector#disconnected 方法获取断开连接的节点 ID 集合,并更新相应节点的连接状态为 DISCONNECTED,同时会清空本地缓存的与该节点相关的数据,最终创建一个 disconnected 类型的 ClientResponse 对象添加到结果集合中。如果这一步确实发现了已断开的连接,则标记需要更新本地缓存的节点元数据信息。

private void handleDisconnections(List<ClientResponse> responses, long now) {
        for (Map.Entry<String, ChannelState> entry : this.selector.disconnected().entrySet()) {
            String node = entry.getKey();
            log.debug("Node {} disconnected.", node);
            processDisconnection(responses, node, now, entry.getValue());
        }
    }
private void processDisconnection(List<ClientResponse> responses,
                                  String nodeId,
                                  long now,
                                  ChannelState disconnectState) {
    // 更新相应节点的连接状态为 DISCONNECTED
    connectionStates.disconnected(nodeId, now);
    apiVersions.remove(nodeId);
    nodesNeedingApiVersionsFetch.remove(nodeId);
    switch (disconnectState.state()) {
        case AUTHENTICATION_FAILED:
            AuthenticationException exception = disconnectState.exception();
            connectionStates.authenticationFailed(nodeId, now, exception);
            log.error("Connection to node {} ({}) failed authentication due to: {}", nodeId,
                disconnectState.remoteAddress(), exception.getMessage());
            break;
        case AUTHENTICATE:
            log.warn("Connection to node {} ({}) terminated during authentication. This may happen " +
                "due to any of the following reasons: (1) Authentication failed due to invalid " +
                "credentials with brokers older than 1.0.0, (2) Firewall blocking Kafka TLS " +
                "traffic (eg it may only allow HTTPS traffic), (3) Transient network issue.",
                nodeId, disconnectState.remoteAddress());
            break;
        case NOT_CONNECTED:
            log.warn("Connection to node {} ({}) could not be established. Broker may not be available.", nodeId, disconnectState.remoteAddress());
            break;
        default:
            break; // Disconnections in other states are logged at debug level in Selector
    }
    //  清空本地缓存的与该节点相关的数据
    // 最终创建一个 disconnected 类型的 ClientResponse 对象添加到结果集合中
    cancelInFlightRequests(nodeId, now, responses);
    metadataUpdater.handleServerDisconnect(now, nodeId, Optional.ofNullable(disconnectState.exception()));
}

handleConnections
        获取断开连接的节点 ID 集合,并更新相应节点的连接状态为 READY.

private void handleConnections() {
    for (String node : this.selector.connected()) {
        // We are now connected.  Note that we might not still be able to send requests. For instance,
        // if SSL is enabled, the SSL handshake happens after the connection is established.
        // Therefore, it is still necessary to check isChannelReady before attempting to send on this
        // connection.
        if (discoverBrokerVersions) {
            this.connectionStates.checkingApiVersions(node);
            nodesNeedingApiVersionsFetch.put(node, new ApiVersionsRequest.Builder());
            log.debug("Completed connection to node {}. Fetching API versions.", node);
        } else {
            // 更新相应节点的连接状态为 READY
            this.connectionStates.ready(node);
            log.debug("Completed connection to node {}. Ready.", node);
        }
    }
}

ClientResponse#onComplete       

        在完成了将各种类型请求对应的响应对象 ClientResponse 添加到结果集合中之后,会继续遍历该集合并应用 ClientResponse#onComplete 方法,该方法最终调用的是我们注册的 RequestCompletionHandler 对应的 RequestCompletionHandler#onComplete 方法。onComplete 方法时本质上也就是在调用 Sender#handleProduceResponse 方法,该方法所做的工作就是区分当前的响应类型,并针对每一种响应类型设置对应的参数并回调 Sender#completeBatch 方法。

private void completeBatch(ProducerBatch batch, ProduceResponse.PartitionResponse response, long correlationId,
                           long now, long throttleUntilTimeMs) {
    Errors error = response.error;
    if (error == Errors.MESSAGE_TOO_LARGE && batch.recordCount > 1 && !batch.isDone() &&
            (batch.magic() >= RecordBatch.MAGIC_VALUE_V2 || batch.isCompressed())) {
        // If the batch is too large, we split the batch and send the split batches again. We do not decrement
        // the retry attempts in this case.
        log.warn(
            "Got error produce response in correlation id {} on topic-partition {}, splitting and retrying ({} attempts left). Error: {}",
            correlationId,
            batch.topicPartition,
            this.retries - batch.attempts(),
            error);
        if (transactionManager != null)
            transactionManager.removeInFlightBatch(batch);
        // 消息过大,重整accumulator后重试
        this.accumulator.splitAndReenqueue(batch);
        maybeRemoveAndDeallocateBatch(batch);
        this.sensors.recordBatchSplit();
    } else if (error != Errors.NONE) {
        if (canRetry(batch, response, now)) {
            log.warn(
                "Got error produce response with correlation id {} on topic-partition {}, retrying ({} attempts left). Error: {}",
                correlationId,
                batch.topicPartition,
                this.retries - batch.attempts() - 1,
                error);
            if (transactionManager == null) {
                // 异常响应,但是允许重试
                // 将消息重新添加到收集器中,等待再次发送
                reenqueueBatch(batch, now);
            } else if (transactionManager.hasProducerIdAndEpoch(batch.producerId(), batch.producerEpoch())) {
                // If idempotence is enabled only retry the request if the current producer id is the same as
                // the producer id of the batch.
                log.debug("Retrying batch to topic-partition {}. ProducerId: {}; Sequence number : {}",
                        batch.topicPartition, batch.producerId(), batch.baseSequence());
                // 将消息重新添加到收集器中,等待再次发送
                reenqueueBatch(batch, now);
            } else {
                failBatch(batch, response, new OutOfOrderSequenceException("Attempted to retry sending a " +
                        "batch but the producer id changed from " + batch.producerId() + " to " +
                        transactionManager.producerIdAndEpoch().producerId + " in the mean time. This batch will be dropped."), false);
            }
        } else if (error == Errors.DUPLICATE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER) {
            // If we have received a duplicate sequence error, it means that the sequence number has advanced beyond
            // the sequence of the current batch, and we haven't retained batch metadata on the broker to return
            // the correct offset and timestamp.
            //
            // The only thing we can do is to return success to the user and not return a valid offset and timestamp.
            completeBatch(batch, response);
        } else {
            final RuntimeException exception;
            if (error == Errors.TOPIC_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED)
                exception = new TopicAuthorizationException(Collections.singleton(batch.topicPartition.topic()));
            else if (error == Errors.CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED)
                exception = new ClusterAuthorizationException("The producer is not authorized to do idempotent sends");
            else
                exception = error.exception();
            // tell the user the result of their request. We only adjust sequence numbers if the batch didn't exhaust
            // its retries -- if it did, we don't know whether the sequence number was accepted or not, and
            // thus it is not safe to reassign the sequence.
            failBatch(batch, response, exception, batch.attempts() < this.retries);
        }
        if (error.exception() instanceof InvalidMetadataException) {
            if (error.exception() instanceof UnknownTopicOrPartitionException) {
                log.warn("Received unknown topic or partition error in produce request on partition {}. The " +
                        "topic-partition may not exist or the user may not have Describe access to it",
                    batch.topicPartition);
            } else {
                log.warn("Received invalid metadata error in produce request on partition {} due to {}. Going " +
                        "to request metadata update now", batch.topicPartition, error.exception().toString());
            }
            // 如果是集群元数据异常,则标记需要更新集群元数据信息
            metadata.requestUpdate();
        }
    } else {
        completeBatch(batch, response);
    }

    // Unmute the completed partition.
    // 释放已经处理完成的 topic 分区,对于需要保证消息强顺序性,以允许接收下一条消息
    if (guaranteeMessageOrder)
        this.accumulator.unmutePartition(batch.topicPartition, throttleUntilTimeMs);
}

        上述方法会判断当前响应是否异常且可以需要重试,如果是则将 RecordBatch 重新添加到收集器 RecordAccumulator 中,等待再次发送。如果是正常响应或不允许重试,则调用 带两个参数的 completeBatch 方法结束本次发送消息的过程。

private void completeBatch(ProducerBatch batch, ProduceResponse.PartitionResponse response) {
    if (transactionManager != null) {
        transactionManager.handleCompletedBatch(batch, response);
    }
    // done 方法结束本次发送消息的过程
    if (batch.done(response.baseOffset, response.logAppendTime, null)) {
        maybeRemoveAndDeallocateBatch(batch);
    }
}

        它本质上调用了batch.done结束本次发送消息的过程。

public boolean done(long baseOffset, long logAppendTime, RuntimeException exception) {
    final FinalState tryFinalState = (exception == null) ? FinalState.SUCCEEDED : FinalState.FAILED;

    if (tryFinalState == FinalState.SUCCEEDED) {
        log.trace("Successfully produced messages to {} with base offset {}.", topicPartition, baseOffset);
    } else {
        log.trace("Failed to produce messages to {} with base offset {}.", topicPartition, baseOffset, exception);
    }
    // 标识当前 RecordBatch 已经处理完成
    if (this.finalState.compareAndSet(null, tryFinalState)) {
        completeFutureAndFireCallbacks(baseOffset, logAppendTime, exception);
        return true;
    }

    if (this.finalState.get() != FinalState.SUCCEEDED) {
        if (tryFinalState == FinalState.SUCCEEDED) {
            // Log if a previously unsuccessful batch succeeded later on.
            log.debug("ProduceResponse returned {} for {} after batch with base offset {} had already been {}.",
                tryFinalState, topicPartition, baseOffset, this.finalState.get());
        } else {
            // FAILED --> FAILED and ABORTED --> FAILED transitions are ignored.
            log.debug("Ignored state transition {} -> {} for {} batch with base offset {}",
                this.finalState.get(), tryFinalState, topicPartition, baseOffset);
        }
    } else {
        // A SUCCESSFUL batch must not attempt another state change.
        throw new IllegalStateException("A " + this.finalState.get() + " batch must not attempt another state change to " + tryFinalState);
    }
    return false;
}

completeFutureAndFireCallbacks方法回调消费者在发送时传入的callback事件。

private void completeFutureAndFireCallbacks(long baseOffset, long logAppendTime, RuntimeException exception) {
    // Set the future before invoking the callbacks as we rely on its state for the `onCompletion` call
    // 设置当前 RecordBatch 发送之后的状态
    produceFuture.set(baseOffset, logAppendTime, exception);

    // execute callbacks
    // 循环执行每个消息的 Callback 回调
    for (Thunk thunk : thunks) {
        try {
            if (exception == null) {
                RecordMetadata metadata = thunk.future.value();
                if (thunk.callback != null)
                    thunk.callback.onCompletion(metadata, null);
            } else {
                // 消息处理异常
                if (thunk.callback != null)
                    thunk.callback.onCompletion(null, exception);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("Error executing user-provided callback on message for topic-partition '{}'", topicPartition, e);
        }
    }
    // 标记本次请求已经完成(正常响应、超时,以及关闭生产者)
    produceFuture.done();
}

至此,生产者发送消息的流程已经完成。
