Also defaulf failover timeout changed to 3 minutes as the failover is a
fairly fast procedure most of the times, unless there are a very big
number of slaves and the user picked to configure them sequentially (in
that case the user should change the failover timeout accordingly).
Once we switched configuration during a failover, we should advertise
the new address.
This was a serious race condition as the Sentinel performing the
failover for a moment advertised the old address with the new
configuration epoch: once trasmitted to the other Sentinels the broken
configuration would remain there forever, until the next failover
(because a greater configuration epoch is required to overwrite an older
one).
Now Sentinel believe the current configuration is always the winner and
should be applied by Sentinels instead of trying to adapt our view of
the cluster based on what we observe.
So the only way to modify what a Sentinel believe to be the truth is to
win an election and advertise the new configuration via Pub / Sub with a
greater configuration epoch.
Changes to leadership handling.
Now the leader gets selected by every Sentinel, for a specified epoch,
when the SENTINEL is-master-down-by-addr is sent.
This command now includes the runid and the currentEpoch of the instance
seeking for a vote. The Sentinel only votes a single time in a given
epoch.
Still a work in progress, does not even compile at this stage.
Sentinel state now includes the idea of current epoch and config epoch.
In the Hello message, that is now published both on masters and slaves,
a Sentinel no longer just advertises itself but also broadcasts its
current view of the configuration: the master name / ip / port and its
current epoch.
Sentinels receiving such information switch to the new master if the
configuration epoch received is newer and the ip / port of the master
are indeed different compared to the previos ones.
Now there is a function that handles the update of the local slot
configuration every time we have some new info about a node and its set
of served slots and configEpoch.
Moreoever the UPDATE packets are now processed when received (it was a
work in progress in the previous commit).
The commit also introduces detection of nodes publishing not updated
configuration. More work in progress to send an UPDATE packet to inform
of the config change.
AUTH and SCRIPT KILL were sent without incrementing the pending commands
counter. Clearly this needs some kind of wrapper doing it for the caller
in order to be less bug prone.
This change makes Sentinel less fragile about a number of failure modes.
This commit also fixes a different bug as a side effect, SLAVEOF command
was sent multiple times without incrementing the pending commands count.
The previous implementation of SCAN parsed the cursor in the generic
function implementing SCAN, SSCAN, HSCAN and ZSCAN.
The actual higher-level command implementation only checked for empty
keys and return ASAP in that case. The result was that inverting the
arguments of, for instance, SSCAN for example and write:
SSCAN 0 key
Instead of
SSCAN key 0
Resulted into no error, since 0 is a non-existing key name very likely.
Just the iterator returned no elements at all.
In order to fix this issue the code was refactored to extract the
function to parse the cursor and return the error. Every higher level
command implementation now parses the cursor and later checks if the key
exist or not.
The previous implementation assumed that the first call always happens
with cursor set to 0, this may not be the case, and we want to return 0
anyway otherwise the (broken) client code will loop forever.
