1. 什么是Hook
经常会听到钩子函数(hook function)这个概念,最近在看目标检测开源框架mmdetection,里面也出现大量Hook的编程方式,那到底什么是hook?hook的作用是什么?
- what is hook ?钩子hook,顾名思义,可以理解是一个挂钩,作用是有需要的时候挂一个东西上去。具体的解释是:钩子函数是把我们自己实现的hook函数在某一时刻挂接到目标挂载点上。
- hook函数的作用 举个例子,hook的概念在windows桌面软件开发很常见,特别是各种事件触发的机制; 比如C++的MFC程序中,要监听鼠标左键按下的时间,MFC提供了一个onLeftKeyDown的钩子函数。很显然,MFC框架并没有为我们实现onLeftKeyDown具体的操作,只是为我们提供一个钩子,当我们需要处理的时候,只要去重写这个函数,把我们需要操作挂载在这个钩子里,如果我们不挂载,MFC事件触发机制中执行的就是空的操作。
从上面可知
- hook函数是程序中预定义好的函数,这个函数处于原有程序流程当中(暴露一个钩子出来)
- 我们需要再在有流程中钩子定义的函数块中实现某个具体的细节,需要把我们的实现,挂接或者注册(register)到钩子里,使得hook函数对目标可用
- hook 是一种编程机制,和具体的语言没有直接的关系
- 如果从设计模式上看,hook模式是模板方法的扩展
- 钩子只有注册的时候,才会使用,所以原有程序的流程中,没有注册或挂载时,执行的是空(即没有执行任何操作)
本文用python来解释hook的实现方式,并展示在开源项目中hook的应用案例。hook函数和我们常听到另外一个名称:回调函数(callback function)功能是类似的,可以按照同种模式来理解。
2. hook实现例子
据我所知,hook函数最常使用在某种流程处理当中。这个流程往往有很多步骤。hook函数常常挂载在这些步骤中,为增加额外的一些操作,提供灵活性。
下面举一个简单的例子,这个例子的目的是实现一个通用往队列中插入内容的功能。流程步骤有2个
需要再插入队列前,对数据进行筛选 input_filter_fn
插入队列 insert_queue
class ContentStash(object): """ content stash for online operation pipeline is 1. input_filter: filter some contents, no use to user 2. insert_queue(redis or other broker): insert useful content to queue """ def __init__(self): self.input_filter_fn = None self.broker = [] def register_input_filter_hook(self, input_filter_fn): """ register input filter function, parameter is content dict Args: input_filter_fn: input filter function Returns: """ self.input_filter_fn = input_filter_fn def insert_queue(self, content): """ insert content to queue Args: content: dict Returns: """ self.broker.append(content) def input_pipeline(self, content, use=False): """ pipeline of input for content stash Args: use: is use, defaul False content: dict Returns: """ if not use: return # input filter if self.input_filter_fn: _filter = self.input_filter_fn(content) # insert to queue if not _filter: self.insert_queue(content) # test ## 实现一个你所需要的钩子实现:比如如果content 包含time就过滤掉,否则插入队列 def input_filter_hook(content): """ test input filter hook Args: content: dict Returns: None or content """ if content.get('time') is None: return else: return content # 原有程序 content = {'filename': 'test.jpg', 'b64_file': "#test", 'data': {"result": "cat", "probility": 0.9}} content_stash = ContentStash('audit', work_dir='') # 挂上钩子函数, 可以有各种不同钩子函数的实现,但是要主要函数输入输出必须保持原有程序中一致,比如这里是content content_stash.register_input_filter_hook(input_filter_hook) # 执行流程 content_stash.input_pipeline(content)
3. hook在开源框架中的应用
3.1 keras
在深度学习训练流程中,hook函数体现的淋漓尽致。
一个训练过程(不包括数据准备),会轮询多次训练集,每次称为一个epoch,每个epoch又分为多个batch来训练。流程先后拆解成:
- 开始训练
- 训练一个epoch前
- 训练一个batch前
- 训练一个batch后
- 训练一个epoch后
- 评估验证集
- 结束训练
这些步骤是穿插在训练一个batch数据的过程中,这些可以理解成是钩子函数,我们可能需要在这些钩子函数中实现一些定制化的东西,比如在训练一个epoch后
我们要保存下训练的模型,在结束训练
时用最好的模型执行下测试集的效果等等。
keras中是通过各种回调函数来实现钩子hook功能的。这里放一个callback的父类,定制时只要继承这个父类,实现你过关注的钩子就可以了。

3.2 mmdetection
mmdetection是一个目标检测的开源框架,集成了许多不同的目标检测深度学习算法(pytorch版),如faster-rcnn, fpn, retianet等。里面也大量使用了hook,暴露给应用实现流程中具体部分。
详见https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection
这里看一个训练的调用例子(摘录)https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/5d592154cca589c5113e8aadc8798bbc73630d98/mmdet/apis/train.py

4. 总结
本文介绍了hook的概念和应用,并给出了python的实现细则。希望对比有帮助。总结如下:
- hook函数是流程中预定义好的一个步骤,没有实现
- 挂载或者注册时, 流程执行就会执行这个钩子函数
- 回调函数和hook函数功能上是一致的
- hook设计方式带来灵活性,如果流程中有一个步骤,你想让调用方来实现,你可以用hook函数
