Service是定义Hadoop中服务生命周期的一个接口。Service内部定义了服务的状态及生命周期，在服务被构造后，其一个生命周期内的状态为NOTINITED未初始化--INITED已初始化--已启动STARTED--已停止STOPPED，而这一生命周期内服务状态的变化，是随着如下方法链的调用而变化的：init()--start()--stop()，服务构造后整体方法调用及状态转移如下图所示：
下面，我们来看下Service的源码分析，先看下其内部定义的服务状态，如下：
/**
* Service states
* 服务状态
*/
public enum STATE {
/** Constructed but not initialized */
// 服务实例已经构造但是还没有初始化
NOTINITED(0, "NOTINITED"),
/** Initialized but not started or stopped */
// 服务实例已经初始化但还没有启动或停止
INITED(1, "INITED"),
/** started and not stopped */
// 服务实例已经启动但没有停止
STARTED(2, "STARTED"),
/** stopped. No further state transitions are permitted */
// 服务实例已经停止，不允许进一步的状态转换
STOPPED(3, "STOPPED");
/**
* An integer value for use in array lookup and JMX interfaces.
* Although {@link Enum#ordinal()} could do this, explicitly
* identify the numbers gives more stability guarantees over time.
*/
private final int value;
/**
* A name of the state that can be used in messages
*/
private final String statename;
private STATE(int value, String name) {
this.value = value;
this.statename = name;
}
/**
* Get the integer value of a state
* @return the numeric value of the state
*/
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
/**
* Get the name of a state
* @return the state's name
*/
@Override
public String toString() {
return statename;
}
}
STATE是一个枚举类，代表了服务生命周期内各阶段的状态，分别为：
1、NOTINITED--0：服务实例已经构造但是还没有初始化；
2、INITED--1：服务实例已经初始化但还没有启动或停止；
3、STARTED--2：服务实例已经启动但没有停止；
4、STOPPED--3：服务实例已经停止，不允许进一步的状态转换。
接下来，我们再看下导致服务状态变更的各个方法，如下：
1、初始化服务init()： NOTINITED-->INITED/STOPPED
/**
* Initialize the service.
* 初始化服务
*
* The transition MUST be from {@link STATE#NOTINITED} to {@link STATE#INITED}
* unless the operation failed and an exception was raised, in which case
* {@link #stop()} MUST be invoked and the service enter the state
* {@link STATE#STOPPED}.
*
* 初始化后，服务状态由NOTINITED转换到INITED，除非异常发生导致服务初始化操作失败，
* 在这种情况下，stop()方法应该被调用，并且服务状态进入STOPPED。
*
* @param config the configuration of the service
* @throws RuntimeException on any failure during the operation
初始化后，服务状态由NOTINITED转换到INITED，除非异常发生导致服务初始化操作失败，在这种情况下，stop()方法应该被调用，并且服务状态进入STOPPED。
2、启动服务start()：INITED-->STARTED/STOPPED
/**
* Start the service.
* 启动服务
*
* The transition MUST be from {@link STATE#INITED} to {@link STATE#STARTED}
* unless the operation failed and an exception was raised, in which case
* {@link #stop()} MUST be invoked and the service enter the state
* {@link STATE#STOPPED}.
*
* 服务启动后，服务状态由INITED转换到STARTED，除非异常发生导致服务启动操作失败，
* 在这种情况下，stop()方法应该被调用，并且服务状态进入STOPPED。
*
* @throws RuntimeException on any failure during the operation
*/
服务启动后，服务状态由INITED转换到STARTED，除非异常发生导致服务启动操作失败，在这种情况下，stop()方法应该被调用，并且服务状态进入STOPPED。
3、停止服务stop()：NOTINITED/INITED/STARTED-->STOPPED
/**
* Stop the service. This MUST be a no-op if the service is already
* in the {@link STATE#STOPPED} state. It SHOULD be a best-effort attempt
* to stop all parts of the service.
* 停止服务。如果服务已经处于STOPPED状态，这必须是一个空操作。它应该尽力试图停止服务的所有部分。
*
* The implementation must be designed to complete regardless of the service
* state, including the initialized/uninitialized state of all its internal
* fields.
* 实现者必须被设计为完成这个操作，而不管服务的状态，包括其内部所有字段初始化/未初始化的状态。
*
* @throws RuntimeException on any failure during the stop operation
*/
void stop();
停止服务。如果服务已经处于STOPPED状态，这必须是一个空操作。它应该尽力试图停止服务的所有部分。实现者必须被设计为完成这个操作，而不管服务的状态，包括其内部所有字段初始化/未初始化的状态。
为了兼顾Java7闭包条款，Service接口还提供了close()方法，实际上就是调用stop()方法，代码如下：
/**
* A version of stop() that is designed to be usable in Java7 closure
* clauses.
* 适用于Java7闭包条款的stop()版本，实际上就是调用stop()方法。
*
* Implementation classes MUST relay this directly to {@link #stop()}
* 实现类必须直接传递给stop()方法。
*
* @throws IOException never
* @throws RuntimeException on any failure during the stop operation
*/
void close() throws IOException;
Service的另外一大块内容，就是对于服务状态变更时间的监听，并提供了注册监听器与注销监听器的方法，如下：
1、注册监听器registerServiceListener()
/** * Register a listener to the service state change events. * If the supplied listener is already listening to this service, * this method is a no-op. * 注册一个监听器到服务状态变更事件。 * 如果提供的监听器已经监听此服务，这种方法是一个空操作。 * @param listener a new listener */ void registerServiceListener(ServiceStateChangeListener listener);
2、注销监听器unregisterServiceListener()
/** * Unregister a previously registered listener of the service state * change events. No-op if the listener is already unregistered. * 注销之前的一个注册到服务状态变更事件的监听器。 * 如果监听器已经注销，这种方法是一个空操作。 * @param listener the listener to unregister. */ void unregisterServiceListener(ServiceStateChangeListener listener);
还有，Service还提供了获取服务失败时发生的第一个异常和当时状态的方法，如下：
/**
* Get the first exception raised during the service failure. If null,
* no exception was logged
* 获取服务失败时发生的第一个异常
* @return the failure logged during a transition to the stopped state
*/
Throwable getFailureCause();
/**
* Get the state in which the failure in {@link #getFailureCause()} occurred.
* 获取服务失败发生的第一个异常时的服务状态
* @return the state or null if there was no failure
*/
STATE getFailureState();
既然是一个服务，Service还提供了阻塞等待服务停止的waitForServiceToStop()方法，如下：
/** * Block waiting for the service to stop; uses the termination notification * object to do so. * 阻塞，等待服务停止；通过终止通知对象实现。 * * This method will only return after all the service stop actions * have been executed (to success or failure), or the timeout elapsed * This method can be called before the service is inited or started; this is * to eliminate any race condition with the service stopping before * this event occurs. * @param timeout timeout in milliseconds. A value of zero means "forever" * @return true iff the service stopped in the time period */ boolean waitForServiceToStop(long timeout);
其它诸如获取服务名、获取当前服务状态、获取服务启动时间、查询是否服务是在一个特定的状态、获取生命周期历史的一个快照、获取远程依赖服务的正在停止服务的阻塞者等方法不再一一介绍，读者可自行查询，下面只把代码贴出：
/** * Get the name of this service. * 获取服务名 * @return the service name */ String getName(); /** * Get the configuration of this service. * 获取服务的配置信息 * This is normally not a clone and may be manipulated, though there are no * guarantees as to what the consequences of such actions may be * @return the current configuration, unless a specific implentation chooses * otherwise. */ Configuration getConfig(); /** * Get the current service state * 获取当前服务状态 * @return the state of the service */ STATE getServiceState(); /** * Get the service start time * 获取服务启动时间 * @return the start time of the service. This will be zero if the service * has not yet been started. */ long getStartTime(); /** * Query to see if the service is in a specific state. * 查询是否服务是在一个特定的状态 * In a multi-threaded system, the state may not hold for very long. * 在多线程系统中，服务状态可能不会保持很长时间。 * @param state the expected state * @return true if, at the time of invocation, the service was in that state. */ boolean isInState(STATE state); /** * Get a snapshot of the lifecycle history; it is a static list * 获取生命周期历史的一个快照，它是一个静态列表 * @return a possibly empty but never null list of lifecycle events. */ public List<LifecycleEvent> getLifecycleHistory(); /** * Get the blockers on a service -remote dependencies * that are stopping the service from being <i>live</i>. * * 获取远程依赖服务的正在停止服务的阻塞者 * * @return a (snapshotted) map of blocker name->description values */ public Map<String, String> getBlockers();
