Lua Plugin

This module embeds Lua, via the standard Lua 5.1 interpreter, into Apache Traffic Server™. With this module, we can implement ATS plugin by writing Lua script instead of C code. Lua code executed using this module can be 100% non-blocking because the powerful Lua coroutines have been integrated into the ATS event model.

Synopsis

test_hdr.lua

function send_response()
    ts.client_response.header['Rhost'] = ts.ctx['rhost']
    return 0
end

function do_remap()
    local req_host = ts.client_request.header.Host
    ts.ctx['rhost'] = string.reverse(req_host)
    ts.hook(TS_LUA_HOOK_SEND_RESPONSE_HDR, send_response)
    return 0
end

sethost.lua

local HOSTNAME = ''
function __init__(argtb)
    if (#argtb) < 1 then
        ts.debug(argtb[0] .. ' hostname parameter required!!')
        return -1
    end
    HOSTNAME = argtb[1]
end

function do_remap()
    ts.client_request.header['Host'] = HOSTNAME
    return 0
end

Installation

This plugin is only built if LuaJIT (>2.0.4) is installed. The configure option

--with-luajit=<path to luajit prefix>

can be used to specify a LuaJIT install. Otherwise, configure will use pkg-config to find a viable installation.

Configuration

This module acts as remap plugin of Traffic Server, so we should realize ‘do_remap’ or ‘do_os_response’ function in each lua script. The path referencing a file with the lua script can be relative to the configuration directory or an absolute path. We can write this in remap.config:

map http://a.tbcdn.cn/ http://inner.tbcdn.cn/ @plugin=/XXX/tslua.so @pparam=/XXX/test_hdr.lua

Sometimes we want to receive parameters and process them in the script, we should realize ‘__init__’ function in the lua script, and we can write this in remap.config:

map http://a.x.cn/ http://b.x.cn/ @plugin=/X/tslua.so @pparam=/X/sethost.lua @pparam=a.st.cn

This module can also act as a global plugin of Traffic Server. In this case we should provide one of these functions in each lua script:

  • ‘do_global_txn_start’

  • ‘do_global_txn_close’

  • ‘do_global_os_dns’

  • ‘do_global_pre_remap’

  • ‘do_global_post_remap’

  • ‘do_global_read_request’

  • ‘do_global_send_request’

  • ‘do_global_read_response’

  • ‘do_global_send_response’

  • ‘do_global_cache_lookup_complete’

  • ‘do_global_read_cache’

We can write this in plugin.config:

tslua.so /etc/trafficserver/script/test_global_hdr.lua

We can also define the number of Lua states to be used for the plugin. If it is used as global plugin, we can write the following in plugin.config

tslua.so --states=64 /etc/trafficserver/script/test_global_hdr.lua

If it is used as remap plugin, we can write the following in remap.config to define the number of Lua states

map http://a.tbcdn.cn/ http://inner.tbcdn.cn/ @plugin=/XXX/tslua.so @pparam=--states=64 @pparam=/XXX/test_hdr.lua

The maximum number of allowed states is set to 256 which is also the default states value. The default value can be globally changed by adding a configuration option to records.config.

CONFIG proxy.config.plugin.lua.max_states INT 64

Any per plugin –states value overrides this default value but must be less than or equal to this value. This setting is not reloadable since it must be applied when all the lua states are first initialized.

For remap instances, the LuaJIT garbage collector can be set to be called automatically whenever a remap instance is created or deleted. This happens when the remap.config file has been modified, and the configuration has been reloaded. This does not apply to global plugin instances since these exist for the life-time of the ATS process, i.e., they are not reloadable or reconfigurable by modifying plugin.config while ATS is running.

By default, the LuaJIT garbage collector will run on its own according to its own internal criteria. However, in some cases, the garbage collector should be run in a guaranteed fashion.

For example, in Linux, total Lua memory may be limited to 2GB depending on the LuaJIT version. It may be required to release memory on demand in order to prevent out of memory errors when running close to the memory limit. Note that the memory usage is doubled during configuration reloads since the ATS must hold both the current and new configurations during the transition. If garbage collection occurs does not occur immediately, memory usage may exceed this double usage.

On demand garbage collection can be enabled by adding the following to each remap line. A value of ‘1’ means enabled. The default value of ‘0’ means disabled.

map http://a.tbcdn.cn/ http://inner.tbcdn.cn/ @plugin=/XXX/tslua.so @pparam=--ljgc=1

Profiling

The lua module collects runtime statistics about the lua states, for remap and global instances. Per state stats are constantly maintained and are made available through a lifecycle hook. These may be accessed through:

traffic_ctl plugin msg ts_lua stats_print

Sample output:

[Feb  5 19:00:15.072] ts_lua (remap) id:    0 gc_kb:   2508 gc_kb_max:   3491 threads:  417 threads_max:  438
[Feb  5 19:00:15.072] ts_lua (remap) id:    1 gc_kb:   1896 gc_kb_max:   3646 threads:  417 threads_max:  446

Max values may be reset at any time by running:

traffic_ctl plugin msg ts_lua stats_reset

Summary statistics are aggregated every 5s and are available as metrics.

traffic_ctl metric match lua

Sample output:

plugin.lua.global.states 8
plugin.lua.remap.gc_bytes_min 4804608
plugin.lua.remap.gc_bytes_mean 5552537

plugin.lua.remap.threads_min 31
plugin.lua.remap.threads_mean 44
plugin.lua.remap.threads_max 146

TS API for Lua

Introduction

The API is exposed to Lua in the form of one standard packages ts. This package is in the default global scope and is always available within lua script. This package can be introduced into Lua like this:

ts.say('Hello World')
ts.sleep(10)

end

function do_remap()
    ts.hook(TS_LUA_HOOK_SEND_RESPONSE_HDR, send_response)
end

Then the client will get the response like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Server: ATS/3.2.0
SHE: belief
Connection: Keep-Alive
...

You can create global hook as well

function do_some_work()
   ts.debug('do_some_work')
   return 0
end

ts.hook(TS_LUA_HOOK_READ_REQUEST_HDR, do_some_work)

Or you can do it this way

ts.hook(TS_LUA_HOOK_READ_REQUEST_HDR,
    function()
        ts.debug('do_some_work')
        return 0
    end
)

Also the return value of the function will control how the transaction will be re-enabled. Return value of 0 will cause the transaction to be re-enabled normally (TS_EVENT_HTTP_CONTINUE). Return value of 1 will be using TS_EVENT_HTTP_ERROR instead.

description: Issues a synchronous but still non-block http request with the url and the optional table.

Returns a Lua table with several slots (res.status, res.header, res.body, and res.truncated).

res.status holds the response status code.

res.header holds the response header table.

res.body holds the response body which may be truncated, you need to check res.truncated to see if the data is truncated.

Here is a basic example:

function post_remap()
    local url = string.format('http://%s/foo.txt', ts.ctx['host'])
    local res = ts.fetch(url)
    if res.status == 200 then

We can set the optional table with several members:

header holds the request header table.

method holds the request method. The default method is ‘GET’.

cliaddr holds the request client address in ip:port form. The default cliaddr is ‘127.0.0.1:33333’

ts.http.intercept

syntax: ts.http.intercept(FUNCTION, param1?, param2?, …)

context: do_remap or do_global_*

description: Intercepts the client request and processes it in FUNCTION with optional params.

We should construct the response for the client request, and the request will not be processed by other modules, like hostdb, cache, origin server…

Intercept FUNCTION will be executed in a new lua_thread, so we can delivery optional params from old lua_thread to new lua_thread if needed.

Here is an example:

require 'os'

function send_data(dstr)
    local nt = os.time()..' Zheng.\n'
    local resp =  'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n' ..
                  'Server: ATS/3.2.0\r\n' ..
                  'Content-Type: text/plain\r\n' ..
                  'Content-Length: ' .. string.format('%d', string.len(nt)) .. '\r\n' ..
                  'Last-Modified: ' .. os.date("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT", os.time()) .. '\r\n' ..
                  'Connection: keep-alive\r\n' ..
                  'Cache-Control: max-age=7200\r\n' ..
                  'Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n\r\n' ..
                  nt
    ts.debug(dstr)
    ts.say(resp)
end

function do_remap()
    ts.http.intercept(send_data, 'hello world')
    return 0
end

Then we will get the response like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: ATS/5.0.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 18
Last-Modified: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 08:23:12 GMT

ts.http.server_intercept

syntax: ts.http.server_intercept(FUNCTION, param1?, param2?, …)

context: do_remap or do_global_*

description: Intercepts the server request and acts as the origin server.

Just like ts.http.intercept, but this function will intercept the server request, and we can acts as the origin server in FUNCTION.

Here is an example:

require 'os'

    local url1 = string.format('http://%s/css/1.css', host)
    local url2 = string.format('http://%s/css/2.css', host)

    local ct = {
        header = hdr,
        method = 'GET'
    }

    local arr = ts.fetch_multi(
            {
                {url1, ct},
                {url2, ct},
                {url3, ct},
            })

    local ctype = arr[1].header['Content-Type']
    local body = arr[1].body .. arr[2].body .. arr[3].body

    local resp =  'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' ..
                  'Server: ATS/5.2.0\r\n' ..
                  'Last-Modified: ' .. os.date("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT", os.time()) .. '\r\n' ..

                  body

    ts.say(resp)
end

function do_remap()
    local inner =  ts.http.is_internal_request()
    if inner ~= 0 then
        return 0
    end

    local h = ts.client_request.header['Host']

TOP

ts.flush

syntax: ts.flush()

context: intercept or server_intercept

description: Flushes the output to ATS within intercept or server_intercept.

In synchronous mode, the function will not return until all output data has been written into the system send buffer. Note that using the Lua coroutine mechanism means that this function does not block the ATS event loop even in the synchronous mode.

Here is an example:

require 'os'

function send_data()
    ss = 'wo ai yu ye hua\n'
    local resp =  'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n' ..
                  'Server: ATS/3.2.0\r\n' ..
                  'Content-Type: text/plain\r\n' ..
                  'Content-Length: ' .. string.format('%d', 5*string.len(ss)) .. '\r\n' ..
                  'Last-Modified: ' .. os.date("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT", os.time()) .. '\r\n' ..
                  'Connection: keep-alive\r\n' ..
                  'Cache-Control: max-age=7200\r\n' ..
                  'Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n\r\n'
    ts.say(resp)
    for i=1, 5 do
        ts.say(ss)
        ts.flush()
    end
end

function do_remap()
    ts.http.intercept(send_data)
    return 0
end

We will get the response like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

description: This function can be used to create a statistics record given the name, data type, persistent requirement, and sync requirement. A statistics record table will be created with 4 functions to increment, decrement, get and set the value.

stat:increment(value)
stat:decrement(value)
v = stat:get_value()
stat:set_value(value)

Here is an example.

local test_stat;

function __init__(args)
    test_stat = ts.stat_create("test_stat",
      TS_LUA_RECORDDATATYPE_INT,
      TS_LUA_STAT_PERSISTENT,
      TS_LUA_STAT_SYNC_COUNT)
end

function do_global_read_request()
    local value = test_stat:get_value()
    ts.debug(value)
    test_stat:increment(1)
    return 0
end

ts.stat_find

syntax: val = ts.stat_find(STAT_NAME)

context: global

description: This function can be used to find a statistics record given the name. A statistics record table will be returned with 4 functions to increment, decrement, get and set the value. That is similar to ts.stat_create()

  • protocol

Currently when we use this as a global plugin, each global hook is using a separate lua state for the same transaction. This can be wasteful. Also the state cannot be reused for the same transaction across the global hooks. The alternative will be to use a TXN_START hook to create a lua state first and then add each global hook in the lua script as transaction hook instead. But this will have problem down the road when we need to have multiple plugins to work together in some proper orderings. In the future, we should consider different approach, such as creating and maintaining the lua state in the ATS core.

Notes on Unit Testing Lua scripts for ATS Lua Plugin

Follow the steps below to use busted framework to run some unit tests on sample scripts and modules

  • Build and install lua 5.1.5 using the source code from here - http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.tar.gz

  • Build and install luarocks 2.2.2 from here - https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/wiki/Download

  • Run “sudo luarocks install busted”

  • Run “sudo luarocks install luacov”

  • “cd trafficserver/plugins/lua/ci”

  • Run “busted -c module_test.lua; luacov”. It will produce “luacov.report.out” containing the code coverage for “module.lua”

  • Run “busted -c script_test.lua; luacov”. It will produce “luacov.report.out” containing the code coverage for “script.lua”
