The callback approach we took is very efficient, the module can do any
filtering of keys without building any list and cloning strings, it can
also read data from the key's value. but if the user tries to re-open
the key, or any other key, this can cause dict re-hashing (dictFind does
that), and that's very bad to do from inside dictScan.
this commit protects the dict from doing any rehashing during scan, but
also warns the user not to attempt any writes or command calls from
within the callback, for fear of unexpected side effects and crashes.
Because "keymiss" is "special" compared to the rest of
the notifications (Trying not to break existing apps
using the 'A' format for notifications)
Also updated redis.conf and module.c docs
This bug affected RM_StringToLongDouble and HINCRBYFLOAT.
I added tests for both cases.
Main changes:
1. Fixed string2ld to fail if string contains \0 in the middle
2. Use string2ld in getLongDoubleFromObject - No point of
having duplicated code here
The two changes above broke RM_SaveLongDouble/RM_LoadLongDouble
because the long double string was saved with length+1 (An innocent
mistake, but it's actually a bug - The length passed to
RM_SaveLongDouble should not include the last \0).
If a blocked module client times-out (or disconnects, unblocked
by CLIENT command, etc.) we need to call moduleUnblockClient
in order to free memory allocated by the module sub-system
and blocked-client private data
Other changes:
Made blockedonkeys.tcl tests a bit more aggressive in order
to smoke-out potential memory leaks
With the previous API, a NULL return value was ambiguous and could
represent either an old value of NULL or an error condition. The new API
returns a status code and allows the old value to be returned
by-reference.
This commit also includes test coverage based on
tests/modules/datatype.c which did not exist at the time of the original
commit.
This is useful to tell redis and modules to try to avoid doing things that may
increment the replication offset, and should be used when draining a master
and waiting for replicas to be in perfect sync before a failover.
Random command like SPOP with count is replicated as
some SREM operations, and store them in also_propagate
array to propagate after the call, but this would break
atomicity.
To keep the command's atomicity, wrap also_propagate
array with MULTI/EXEC.
