Concurrency Control

Configuration example

Example 1

To limit each method of com.foo.BarService, the concurrent execution on the server side (or the number of threads in the thread pool) cannot exceed 10:

<dubbo:service interface="com.foo.BarService" executes="10" />

Example 2

To limit the sayHello method of com.foo.BarService, the concurrent execution on the server side (or the number of threads in the thread pool) cannot exceed 10:

<dubbo:service interface="com.foo.BarService">
    <dubbo:method name="sayHello" executes="10" />
</dubbo:service>

Example 3

Limit each method of com.foo.BarService to no more than 10 concurrent executions per client (or the number of requests occupying a connection):

<dubbo:service interface="com.foo.BarService" actives="10" />

or

<dubbo:reference interface="com.foo.BarService" actives="10" />

Example 4

Limit the sayHello method of com.foo.BarService to no more than 10 concurrent executions (or the number of requests that occupy a connection) per client:

<dubbo:service interface="com.foo.BarService">
    <dubbo:method name="sayHello" actives="10" />
</dubbo:service>

or

<dubbo:reference interface="com.foo.BarService">
    <dubbo:method name="sayHello" actives="10" />
</dubbo:service>

If both <dubbo:service> and <dubbo:reference> are configured with actives, <dubbo:reference> takes precedence, see: [Configuration override strategy](../../../reference- manual/config/principle/).

Load Balance

The loadbalance attribute of the client side of the configuration service is leastactive, and this Loadbalance will call the Provider with the smallest number of concurrency (Consumer-side concurrency).

<dubbo:reference interface="com.foo.BarService" loadbalance="leastactive" />

or

<dubbo:service interface="com.foo.BarService" loadbalance="leastactive" />
